Weight Filler

As the name suggest, it is a filling machine via weigh. For example, a weight of 500grams is set, the machine will dispense 500grams. Simple and straight forward.

Key advantage of range of filling machine is that is ignores volumetric weight, density, etc of your product. So long it flows, it can be fill using the weight filler. For example, 500grams of water and 500grams of chilli paste has different viscosity and density and volumetric size. Hence for most filling machines in the market, you will have to make some adjustments before. But for the weight filler, simply set the desired weight, and press start to fill.

We have a few range of weight filling machines.

01 – Lobe pump

Using lobe pump, our weight filler can have the filling volume, speed adjusted. Check out our post on servo filling for more information.

Client often have multiple SKU with different volume and nature of the product. Hence, utilising the adjustable volume and speed of the lobe pump we are able to dispense the desired volume needed by the client. In combination with load cell weight sensing, we are able to accurately dispense within a range of 1-2% regardless the amount.

A – Touch screen control

The touch screen control allows users to set, store different parameters for the products they have. Operators simply select and load the particular recipe and they can start to use.

Via the touch screen, various parameters such as volume, speed, auto duration can all be set. The settings can be locked via password so only the supervisor etc can have access to change.

B – Shut off nozzle

Our shut off nozzle reduces drip after the filling, reducing contamination to the sealing of your container or bag.

02 – Volumetric

Volumetric or piston filling is filling via a pre-determined volume. But here we are using the piston as a driving force and in combination with a load cell to achieve an accurate fill.

The desired weight is set and start, the piston will draw product from the supply source and dispense it out. A load cell at the bottom detects the increment in weight. Upon reaching the set weight, the filling stops.

What sets our volumetric weight filler apart are 2 key features.

A – Bottom to Top filling

What is bottom to top filling some might ask. The filling nozzle starts at the bottom of the container to be filled and slowly progress upwards as the product level increases. This is to prevent or reduce foaming during the filling process as some products are susceptible to foaming such as shampoo, liquid soap etc.

B – 2 stage filling process

Every filling is split into 2 parts, an initial fill and an ending fill. The initial will fill up to 95% of the set weight, for example, 950gram of 1000gram at high speed. Then the filling slows down, and the ending fill will top up the remaining 5%. By slowing down we can control the accuracy to an even higher level.

With these 2 key features, the volumetric weight filler is capable of filling almost any product, so long it flows.

Some other features includes, anti-drip catchment for the nozzle, single or double filling nozzles, N2 blanketing option.
