Series 2000

The 2001 shown opposite, is a fully automatic single track intermittent motion rotary filling and lidding machine designed to handle a wide range of stackable (round or rectangular) tubs, generally up to 1kg/1litre capacity. Output may be up to 65 containers per minute depending on product type and container size.

Two main variants are available (2001 or 2001-2) - the major difference being that the 2001-2 incorporates mechanisms to apply a heat sealed foil membrane and a clip-on over lid, while the basic 2001 can only apply one or the other.

Construction is generally corrosion resistant - type 304 stainless steel is used for all framework, external sheathing and control enclosures - type 316 stainless steel for product contact parts on the filling head. Turntable drive is mechanical - via a hydraulic drive incorporating overload protection. Container and lid handing functions are cam actuated with some pneumatic assistance. Systems for liquid or semi-liquid products generally incorporate a pneumatically operated piston filler (with bottom-up fill if necessary).

Microprocessor (PLC) control of all functions ensures exceptional reliability and together with numerous solid state sensing devices, provides many interlocks and safeguards including the standard no container/no fill and no container/no lid features on all machines.

2001 Rotary Tub Filler

A wide range of container sizes (up to 150.0mm max dimension) can be accommodated by the use of change parts - change over time is usually no more than 15-20 minutes.

Special purpose machinery and ancillary equipment may also be provided as required.

Any or all of the following facilities may be incorporated:

Container destacking
Filling - various units available for most applications
Membrane placing and (heat) sealing
Lid (clip on) placing and closing
Ejection - to (optional) out-feed conveyor
