New Vinegar Filler delivered
to Kuwait

News & Events
|

A long-term customer of M&P, based in Kuwait, has taken delivery of a new 8 head rotary piston filler for filling a range of bottles with vinegar. The machine was specified to be quick and easy to change over, to eliminate glass breakage that occurs on the current machine and to ensure no product spillage occurs. In order to achieve these objectives, the machine has been supplied with motorised height and volume adjustment linked to a PLC to provide “one-touch” container change-over in a matter of seconds. The use of a volumetric filling system has meant that the glass need not come in contact with the machine as is required with conventional vacuum fillers. This coupled with rising platforms for a bottom up fill means that repeatability and accuracy comes guaranteed. The new machine lines up alongside other units supplied by M&P some 15 years ago which are still operating to the customers full satisfaction. This is down to the ongoing supply of spares that we offer to all our customers, both home and abroad. |

Jam Filler Speeds Production

When it was time for a line upgrade, a major UK producer of jams and preserves turned to M&P to supply a tailor made countless product formulations have to be run on a single machine at speeds of around 300 cpm, so a flexible easy to operate machine was required. M&P supplied a 21 head machine in a format that meant minimal alteration to the existing line layout. This included manufacturing a specially modified base to accommodate unusually low conveyor heights and an equally low ceiling! As is commonplace these days, reducing the length of changeover times was critical, so the machine was fitted with quick release change parts, motorised height adjustment and PLC controlled changeover. The general philosophy of the machine is that the operator, without the need to call for engineers should easily deal with change over and running issues. Installation and commissioning was undertaken as a joint project between customer and our own engineers, who have visited site on a number of subsequent occasions to lend their considerable experience on everyday running matters. This approach has resulted in a smooth and hassle free transition to today’s situation where line speeds are almost double that achieved on the old machine. |
