Comprehensive Features
Product Range
These machines are suitable for non-foaming food, chemical, and petroleum products. They are available in brass & steel, 316 stainless steel, titanium, and PVC contact parts.
Container Compatibility
The machines are compatible with metal, glass, plastic, pails, or bag-in-box containers. They can handle container sizes from 1 to 25 liters (quart to 6 U.S. Gallons).
Filling Speed
The following are approximate speeds based on the gravity filling of water from a 3-meter (10 ft.) gravity head into containers with 63 mm (2.5") openings.
Model |
4 Liter (1 Gallon) | 10 Liter (2.5 Gallon) | 20 Liter (5 Gallon) |
---|---|---|---|
U2 | 720 | 440 | 240 |
U3 | 1080 | 660 | 360 |
U4 | NR* | 880 | 480 |
U5 | NR* | NR* | 600 |
U6 | NR* | NR* | 720 |
*NR is not recommended for sustained filling but only for short runs. For short runs, all filling nozzles need not be used.
**Pneumatically operated machines have slightly higher production rates.
Accuracy
These machines ensure filling accuracy within ±0.5% of the target weight under proper conditions.
Ease of Installation
The machines are shipped and assembled for quick and easy installation, with no special foundations required.
User-Friendly Operation
They are simple to operate with minimal training and allow quick changeovers for different containers and products.
Safety
The non-electric operation ensures safety; optional explosion-proof motors are available for additional safety.
Benefits
Efficiency
The high-speed filling capabilities boost production rates. The machines are designed for low maintenance and have durable construction.
Versatility
The machines are adaptable to various products and container types, and settings can be easily changed for different production needs.
Precision
Accurate filling reduces waste and ensures consistency. The optional Dribble Flow Shut-Off increases accuracy.
Flexibility
The machines are easily movable with optional casters. Rollers and motorized discharge conveyors facilitate ease of handling.
Ideal Applications
Industries Served
These machines are ideal for the food and beverage, chemical processing, and petroleum products industries.
Typical Use Cases
They are perfect for filling pails, cans, totes, and other container types, especially in large-volume production lines.
Technical Specifications
Space Requirements
The compact design is suitable for various production environments. Floor space varies by model (e.g., U2: 112 cm x 82 cm).
Air and Electrical Needs
Pneumatic models require minimal air per filling nozzle, and optional motorized conveyors require a small electrical supply.
