• Optimized filling process by spinning the container
• Agitator systems for preventing product separation are optional
• Synchronization interface for the bottling plant
• Adding booklets, leaflets, spoon/spatula or give-aways possible as an option

Dosing

• 200 parameter sets can be stored in the recipe memory
• Dosing amount adjustment: freely programmable, adjustable intake and dosing time, adjustable return suction
• Different dosing technologies are available

Containers

• Container or cap feed as bulk goods via fully automatic sorting and optional storage bin
• Container transport using pucks for flexible production and fast conversion
• Centering the container for the optimal positioning of the containers below the work stations
• Cycled container transport
