The filling machine OPTIMA FS with integrated auger dosing system, portions and fills a multitude of powder or grain products such as milk powder, spices, instant cocoa and chemical products.
Filling
- Filling process in protective gas for reduced oxygen contents in the packaging is optional
- Suction nozzles or suction bell for reduced dust emergence during filling is optional
- Filling systems coordinated to the product
- Synchronization interface for the bottling plant
- Vibrating the containers under the filling positions for product compaction and optimal utilization of the container’s volume
Dosing/Weighing
- 100% tare/gross weighing
- 200 parameter sets can be stored in the recipe memory
- Gross weight check
- Identifying and adjusting for fluctuations in the bulk weight
- High-precision positioning for constant filling weight/volume
- Precise topping-up for small amounts for reducing the amount of product loss is optional
- Volumetric dosing with auger filler
Containers
- Container feed as bulk goods via fully automatic sorting and optional storage bin
- Raising the container when filling to prevent dust accumulation
- Container classification using a portioning device
- Container classification using a rotary feeder
- Container classification via the infeed screw
- Centering the container for the optimal positioning of the containers below the work stations
