Abstract

See full text

A defoamer assembly for a filler comprising a containment tank, a extrusion forcing sub-assembly, a collection subassembly and an extruder subassembly. The extrusion forcing sub-assembly is associated with the containment tank. The extrusion forcing sub-assembly is structurally configured to force gas from within the containment tank through an opening. The collection subassembly is coupled to an inlet port on the containment tank, and includes a collection head with an inlet opening and a conduit coupling the collection head with the inlet port. The extruder subassembly is coupled to the inlet port. The first end of the extruder assembly receives foam from the collection assembly and an outlet comprising a mesh having a plurality of openings. The outlet is in fluid communication with the extrusion forcing sub-assembly. The extrusion forcing sub-assembly directs the foam through the mesh, thereby extruding the foam therethrough, to, in turn, separate at least a portion of the foam into a fluid and a gas.
