Ready meals volumetric fillers
June 11, 2013
Multi-Fill volumetric fillers deposit ready meal products such as pasta, rice, fruits, vegetables, deli-style salads, meats and pet foods into any type of container. The fillers can be integrated into existing vertical or horizontal conveying lines. Machines already in the field can be retrofitted with a batch feeder that dispenses metered amounts of bulk products (e.g., cooked rice or short pastas) into the hopper of the filler, and speeds up and slows down in conjunction with the filler as the whole line increases or decreases in speed.
