4.2 Placing the product container
In order to get an optimal filling; i.e. best accuracy, long periods between each calibration and the
best capacity, the product container should be placed at the same level as pump head or preferably
above the pump head level. The length between container, pump head and filling nozzle must be as
short as possible.
Placing the container higher than pump head level provides positive product support and may reduce
the calibration interval. It is also recommended to place the container as close as possible to the
pump on suction side.
