Valve Conversions

Holland, Michigan… Spartan Parts, a new subsidiary of Fogg Filler Company, is focused on custom parts design and fabrication for your commercial filling equipment. Spartan Parts is specifically designed to look for ways to improve the efficiencies of an organization’s liquid and food packaging needs. Spartan Parts was not designed to assist existing Fogg machines. Instead, it was developed to support all non-Fogg upgrades and consumable parts in your facility. All Spartan Parts products are backed by the same expert engineering and experience you have grown to trust.
Spartan Parts can accommodate a wide variety of bowl spuds by modifying valves. Spartan Parts can create an adaptor to your existing spud to fit other valves. By avoiding bowl modifications, the customer can save valuable time and money that would have been spent welding the bowl to adjust it to the new valve design. Spartan Parts was able to apply this service to a customer recently by specially designing the valve to fit their existing spud. Spartan Parts converted a Federal machine to one that featured new Spartan Parts dairy valves. A series of clamps were specially designed to allow the customer to change their product line from juice to dairy without modifying the bowl spuds.
To ensure the valves work properly, they are most often paired with specific cam tips. Spartan Parts can run a special program to match the proper cam tip rate to the specific valve in order to determine if the valve needs to pull out of the bottle faster or slower to avoid trapping bubbles in it and dispensing those bubbles into the next bottle or splashing that may occur if not properly pitched.
Spartan Parts could be the right choice for your organization! They will work to have better lead times, exceptional customer service, and more cost-effective pricing than the OEMs that you are familiar with. They also have a clean, easy to use, website that will allow you to order items 24/7. Spartan Parts is willing to work with you to improve your replacement parts service, as well as upgrade your machinery for optimum performance.
