The MPFSC-120 volumetric filler dispenses clean, accurate portions of a wide variety of difficult-to-fill products, including: cooked rice, cooked pasta (long and short goods), cut vegetables, cut fruit, refrigerated salads, cereal, trail mix, surimi, shrimp, and shredded meat.
This machine is rated at speeds up to 120 cpm depending upon the product, container, and conveyor configuration. Our machines are compatible with a wide variety of container conveying systems, either continuous or intermit-tent motion, vertical or horizontal bagging machines for trays, plates, cartons, cups, pouches (including stand-up), cans, jars, boxes, and more.
When the product is loaded into the hopper a conveyor belt with a special finger design, driven by a variable frequency drive, meters the product to the filling head.
To ensure easy positioning on the line, the filling head is mounted on the product in-feed conveyor. The head section features: ? A translucent product in-feed tube with an electronic level control ? Adjustable volumetric pocket sys-tem equipped with either a plate product separating device, sharp knife, or needle assembly ? Adjustable filling head supports for easy height adjustment over the container conveyor lane ? Discharge controlled in synchroni-zation with the container flow; an adjustable front/rear function keeps the product positioned in the container at variable line speeds ? Positive traction belt drive results in no slippage and low tension, less stretching, longer belt life, and is easy to clean. The blue belt corresponds to the food industry safety standards. ? The filling head can be quickly and completely disassembled without tools Product flow and pocket loading are enhanced with a self-contained, adjustable liquid ring vacuum system.
The stainless steel enclosure (NEMA 4X, IP66) is compartmentalized to isolate various electrical power, air, water controls, and operating components. It is mounted to the in-feed conveyor base.
