Fill sealing machines do as their name implies: fill cups or trays with product, such as yogurt, soups, and other liquid-based foods, then seal these cups with a specific thickness of plastic film or foil lid. Our filling machines have the ability (unlike other brands) to perform a true MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging), and not simply gas flush. All parameters of the machines can be set and saved through the machines Siemens PLC. All filling machines utilize the highest quality stainless steel (304/316) and are capable of running a vast array of products, by simply changing the depositing station (if needed). All our fill sealing machine produces HPP Quality seals.
Numerous fill sealing applications are available depending on your budget and production needs.
Which fill sealer is right for you?
The greatest feature of sealing machines isn’t found on paper: they scale based on demand and application. No two food production companies will require identical fill and seal machines; cost-reduction and energy consumption may play into one’s decision making process, however.
Packaging applications also play an integral role in which fill sealer companies need. Meat and poultry packages differ from yogurt or cheese; portion sizes, expected shelf life and cost expectations also factor.
Numerous fill sealer solutions exist not mentioned above. So we may learn about your packaging operations and customize an ILPRA filling machine solution, contact us and we’ll assign a representative to your inquiry.
How Does an Automatic Filling Machine Work?
Automatic filling equipment is a cost-efficient and consistent packaging solution for a wide variety of liquids and viscous food types. After preparing the machine and containers, operations begin by feeding the liquid product into a hopper or reservoir. From this reservoir, the automated filling equipment will extract and fill a predetermined volume or weight of product into each metal container, glass bottle, or plastic cup.
As the automatic system begins to fill, a myriad of sensors and coordinated processes ensure cup filling accuracy and adherence to the program. The filling equipment maintains multiple key functions, such as conveyor belt timing, automated lid placements, product weighing, and other precision steps, for efficient, clean, and accurate cup filling.
After the plastic cups or small containers are filled and sealed, they are ready for refrigeration, secondary packaging, and/or distribution steps. Depending on the needs of the cup filler packaging machine, the equipment can be prepared for a repeat run and/or modified to accept and fill another product type.
Between production runs, our top-rated filling machines are designed for easy cleaning. Our low-priced automatic filling and sealing machines feature:
- Easy access to removable components for a straightforward washdown process between cycles.
- Ultra-resilient materials and solid components that resist corrosion and bacterial accumulation.
- Automated cleaning capabilities; some filling machines offer “clean-in-place” technologies, which can circulate a cleaning solution without the need for complete disassembly.
- Integrated drainage and flushing systems, making it easy to manage thorough cleaning processes in significantly less time.
These key features promote time, cost, and quality benefits across the entire production plan! Whether filling small, single-serving water cups or larger containers with viscous products like hummus or yogurt, our advanced filler machines are well-equipped to exceed your cup-filling demands with unparalleled consistency and cost-effectiveness.
