Abstract

A spool-type valve system for use with a high-speed filling machine, in which a solenoid valve controlled by the main shaft of the filling machine, selectively supplies air under pressure to a respective end of a pneumatically operated piston-cylinder unit of a spool valve assembly which selectively opens and closes the pump space with respect to the reservoir for the product to be filled while simultaneously closing and opening the pump space with respect to the discharge nozzle.
