igh quality, low maintenance, and highly performing filling systems worldwide, MULTI-FILL is adding a Batch Feeder to its line of equipment. It is designed to provide a metered continuous flow of bulk products like cooked pastas and rice, cut vegetables, fruits, meats, and various salads to the hopper of its volumetric cup filler, allowing large quantities to be placed into the hopper with minimal monitoring.Benefits of adding a Batch Feeder System include:
• Reduction in labor costs. It can be fed with a post dumper, conveyor, chute from a second floor or high platform, eliminating the need for an operator to continuously bring buckets of product to the hopper, thus allowing to redeploy operators in more meaningful activities.
• Reduction in problems such as tunneling and damage to the product that are common with augers or conveyors and other bulk product transport devices.
• First in, first out product flow through the Batch Feeder System.
Features of the Batch Feeder System include:
• Automatic flow, no adjustments required. When used with a MULTI-FILL volumetric filler, the Batch Feeder System speeds up and slows down with the filler as the whole line increases or decreases in speed.
• Easy-to-clean design with lift-out parts and swing-away safety covers. Major components remain attached in position during cleaning. No tools required for cleaning nor disassembly or reassembly. Easy access for maintenance.
• Quick release components and captured guards for easy access, maintenance, and cleaning
• The Batch Feeder System can be mounted on the frame of the MULTI-FILL filling machine and swings away from the conveyor bed/hopper for cleaning. A stand-alone version is also available.
• The system offers high capacity using a compact footprint on the production line.
• The Batch Feeder system can be retrofitted to older MULTI-FILL volumetric fillers.
