Abstract
A dispensing system for supplying containers with a fluid material provided from a source is provided. The dispensing system includes a chamber configured to be connected to receive the fluid material from the source and a piston configured for motion between predetermined limits for establishing controlled volumes of the fluid material. The dispensing system further includes a nozzle configured to receive the controlled volumes of the fluid material and to discharge the controlled volumes of the fluid material into the containers and a switching valve positioned directly between the piston and the nozzle, the switching valve configured to include a lumen that moves from a first position to a second position to regulate the discharge of the controlled volumes of the fluid material.
