PAL FP8 Rotary filler

• Filling and sealing pre-formed pots with products such as yoghurts, desserts, sauces, and ready meals.
• Packaging liquid and semi-viscous food products in a high-throughput, automated manner.
• Suitable for dairy, convenience food, and prepared food sectors requiring efficient pot filling and sealing.
• Used in production lines where quick product changeovers and consistent fill volumes are important.

Typical throughput

Up to 55 pots per minute, depending on product viscosity and fill volume.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with typical power consumption for this class of equipment.

Pot materials

Typically suitable for pre-formed plastic (e.g., PP, PS) or aluminium pots.

Lid sealing

Capable of sealing pre-cut or reel-fed lids, commonly heat-sealable foil or film.

Changeover time

Designed for quick product changeovers, often facilitated by interchangeable parts and HMI recipe management.

Footprint

As a 'compact rotary' machine, it typically offers a smaller footprint compared to linear fillers of similar capacity.

Control system

Often features an HMI (Human Machine Interface) for operational control and recipe storage.
