ATS Engineering has developed the SP1X2-3, a three-lane filling machine. On two lanes, the machine can run 8 ounces to 32 ounces of product, and on a single lane on the same machine, can run 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-pound containers. This one machine replaces two filling machines, and with a flick of a switch, the SP1X2-3 can change over from one size to the next. It is all pre-set, so there is no adjustment necessary. Cleanability and easy changeover are additional highlights of the SP1X2-3 design.
