INDUSTRIAL FILLING MACHINE

Designed for conveyors, this industrial depositor from Unifiller features a patented SV valve, large openings, precision height adjustment, and angled surface covers. The pneumatic control system works in cold environments to reduce damage caused by moisture build-up, caustic cleaning processes, and daily wear and tear. The company suggests pairing the depositor with a dripless nozzle for accurate deposits of viscous products like cream, yogurt, cheesecake, and soft cheese into various containers, trays, or onto ready meals. It can be easily integrated into existing production or FFS lines. It can also be combined with the Unifiller hopper topper, a unique product pumping system designed for transferring dairy products. Equipped with an optic product sensor, the company says it maintains precise hopper levels and adjusts pump speed through flow control to eliminate fluctuating deposit weights.
