What types of products can this filler handle?

This type of rotary filler is generally suitable for liquid and semi-viscous food products, such as yoghurts, creams, sauces, and some ready meals. Product consistency and fill volume will influence performance.

Is this machine difficult to operate?

The PAL FP8 is described as 'simple and flexible to use' despite being fully automatic. HMI screens with pre-set recipes typically simplify operation and changeovers.

What kind of maintenance is typically required?

Routine cleaning and inspection of moving parts, seals, and filling nozzles are generally required. Specific maintenance schedules should be followed as per the manufacturer's guidelines.

Can it handle different pot sizes?
