Features

  • Six station automated rotary volumetric filler for portioning ‘difficult to fill’ products like cooked and fresh beef, poultry, pork, seafood, and vegetables
  • Designed to handle side or fill feed applications
  • Target fill sonic sensors assure maximum yields by achieving fill weight accuracy within each fill station
  • Patented slide-fill process surrounds over-sized and random shaped product while portioning to reduce damage
