The new touch screen for the Merlin bottling machine features three slide bars, two pressure meters, manifold temperature display and Auto Off/On, Rest, Pulse, 2nd Evac, Liquid psi Control buttons and Liquid psi arrow key adjustment with pressure display.
Slide bars are used to adjust fill detection, pulse intensity and low pressure adjustment which effects foaming of the product before capping. The buttons on the left side of the screen are used to return to the main menu, reset, the machine, Start and stop the auto cycle, turn the pulse on /off (Effects foaming) and control single or double pre-evacuation of bottles before filling. Temperature display and liquid psi controls are completely new features for the Merlin machines and helps the operator to best judge and control dispensing pressure.
