Series 2400

The fully automatic (in line) series 2400 filling and lidding systems (as seen below) are designed to handle a wide range of stackable (round/rectangular) tubs, generally up to 1 kg/1 litre capacity. Containers up to 120.0mm across may be accommodated.

Available in single, dual or four lane configuration, the system is capable of up to 50 cycles per minute, enabling outputs up to 200 containers per minute on four track machines depending on product type and container size.

Model 2402 - Dual Lane System

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
Date coding (on out-feed conveyor only)

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. Precise container positioning is effected by a robust mechanical indexing system driven by an electronically controlled motor with overload protection. Speed is infinitely variable within the range of the system. Container and lid handling functions are cam operated with some pneumatic assistance. Systems for liquid or semi-liquid products generally incorporate a pneumatically operated volumetric (piston type) 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.
