Hi!, nice place you got yourselves here, so I'm a mechanical engineer working as a maintenance supervisor working for a dairy and food corporation specializing in UHT milk and milk derivatives (varietieshttps://www.physicsforums.com/Nexus/editor/menupop.png of yogurt, cheese, butter, ice cream, etc.)
Anyway we have a bunch of old Cherry Burrell fillin machines, mostly mechanic based system (little pneumatic-driven motion) so I'm on a mission to update this old ladies.
My first challenge is to adapt the actual filling system driven by a crank mechanism to a pneumatic driven one, below is a rough powerpoint based illustration of the current mechanism
I'm thinking something like this
I have no clue how to start this since all my mind is thinking is how to calculate the force needed to push the liquid thru the filter net, osmosis is an obscure subject to me.
Any clue would be much appreciated
