Fill solution for delicate foods

Tuesday, 01 July, 2008


Multi-Fill has recently sold a MPFSC-120-01 filling machine to a customer in the US who had a very delicate product to fill — jelly cubes. The requirement was for a filling machine that would retain the shape and size of their delicate product after it passed through the system. The jelly cubes are loaded into the low-level infeed hopper and a conveyor belt (with a special finger design) passes the product to the filling head. The food is then measured volumetrically and discharged into trays.

Rated at 120 cpm, the MPFSC-120-01 automatic filling system is suitable for difficult-to-fill products such as rice, cooked pastas (short and long goods), cut vegetables and fruits, salads, cereals, seafood and shredded meats into a variety of containers including trays, cups, plates, jars and pouches.

The MPFSC-120-01 is a mobile unit, which can be quickly cleaned for a product changeover or moved to a different production line in minutes, ready to fill a different product into a different container with no or few change parts. It can be positioned over many different conveying systems, continuous or intermittent, as well as horizontal or vertical bagging units.

Features of the unit include an adjustable volumetric pocket system for precision dosing; ‘no container-no fill function’, activated by a proximity sensor; a vacuum system which assists product flow, especially for traditionally, difficult-to-handle products such as cooked spaghetti, IQF rice and wet salads; and food-grade stainless steel construction.
