LF - Füllfix Volumetric Doser

• Dosing of roasted whole bean coffee into bags or containers.
• Packaging of granules, pellets, grains, and other dry bulk goods.
• Filling operations for small to medium-scale food processing.
• Portioning of free-flowing products in manual or semi-automatic lines.

Dosing Principle

Volumetric, based on a set volume rather than weight.

Typical Throughput

For this class of equipment, typically up to 9 fills per minute for 500g bags, depending on product and operator efficiency.

Product Suitability

Commonly used for free-flowing dry bulk goods such as coffee beans, grains, pellets, and granules.

Power Supply (Vibro-Füllfix)

Units of this type commonly require 3-Phase current (400V-50Hz) for the vibratory function.

Compressed Air Requirement

Pneumatically operated systems typically require 6 bar of compressed air.

Accuracy

Volumetric dosers typically achieve accuracy to within a few grams per fill, requiring external scales for calibration and verification.

Operation

Manual operation, often with a foot pedal switch for dispensing.

• What is the primary advantage of a volumetric doser over a weighing scale?

  Volumetric dosers are generally simpler, faster for consistent product volumes, and often more cost-effective than weighing scales for certain applications. They are well-suited for products with consistent density.

• Can this unit handle different product types?

• Is calibration required for this type of equipment?

• What maintenance is typically involved with a volumetric doser?

• What safety considerations should be noted for this equipment?

Filling machines remain sought-after on the secondhand market due to their durability and long operational lifespan. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for robust construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should verify seal integrity, calibration accuracy, and maintenance history, as these directly affect product consistency and line efficiency. Common strengths include straightforward mechanical design facilitating repairs and adaptability to different container sizes. Reliability and minimal downtime are frequently cited priorities among processors seeking cost-effective production solutions.
