Abstract
A system and method for method for filling containers with a viscous fluid is provided. Generally, the system warms heat exchange fluid contained within the vessel and circulates it in way such that viscous fluid contained within an inner hopper is maintained at a specified temperature so that its viscosity is increased, making the viscous fluid easier to precisely measure out. The system generally comprises a vessel, heater, inner hopper, and outer injector. The heater manages the temperature of the heat exchange fluid held within the vessel at a specified temperature needed to prevent a viscous fluid contained within the inner hopper and outer injector from becoming viscous to the point of clogging the various components of the system. A heat exchange mount in contact with the outer injector further prevents the viscous fluid from becoming too viscous.
