PAL FP8 Rotary filler

• Filling and sealing pre-formed pots with products such as yoghurts, desserts, and sauces.
• Packaging ready meals, dips, and spreads in individual or multi-pack formats.
• Suitable for dairy, convenience food, and prepared food sectors requiring automated pot filling.
• Used for products requiring a heat-sealed lid, either from a pre-cut stack or a reel.

Typical throughput

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

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) with pneumatic air supply.

Footprint

Compact rotary design, typically requiring a moderate floor space for this class of equipment.

Pot materials

Generally compatible with common pre-formed plastic pots (e.g., PP, PS, PET).

Lidding

Capable of applying pre-cut or reel-fed heat-sealable lids.

Changeover

Designed for quick product changeovers via interchangeable table quadrants and HMI-driven recipe selection.

Operation

Fully automatic, with HMI for control and recipe management.
