MMG MLL-1 filling machine

• Filling various food products such as sauces, jams, yoghurts, and oils into containers.
• Packaging cosmetics and personal care items like lotions, creams, and gels.
• Dispensing pharmaceutical liquids and viscous products into bottles or jars.
• Handling chemical products requiring precise volumetric dosing.
• Filling beverages, including juices, spirits, and dairy drinks.

Typical Dosing Range

For this class of equipment, a dosing range from 100g up to 1000kg is substantial and suitable for a wide array of product volumes.

Construction Material

Units of this type are commonly built entirely from 316 stainless steel, which is standard for food-grade and corrosive product applications.

Hopper Features

A jacketed hopper with agitation is a common and beneficial feature for maintaining product temperature and consistency during filling.

Dosing Mechanism

Piston fillers, especially those with servo-motor driven pistons, typically offer high accuracy and control for viscous and dense fluids.

Control System

An electric panel with PLC and screen adjustment for volume and rate is commonly found, providing precise and automated operation.

Anti-Drip System

An anti-drip system is a standard feature on quality filling machines to ensure clean and efficient operation, minimising product waste.

Power Supply

Units of this type commonly require a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, with specific amperage depending on motor and heating elements.

Footprint

The footprint for a single-head piston filler with an integrated hopper can vary, but typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1m, plus access space.
