Anko - Sanko US10

• The Sanko US10, as a filling machine, is typically used for accurately dispensing viscous or semi-viscous products into various containers.
• Commonly found in the food processing industry for filling sauces, pastes, jams, and ready meals.
• Utilised in the pharmaceutical sector for dispensing creams, gels, and ointments.
• Applicable in the cosmetics industry for filling lotions, shampoos, and conditioners.
• Also suitable for chemical industries handling glues, sealants, and other viscous compounds.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, filling volumes typically range from 50ml to 1000ml per cycle, depending on the specific pump and nozzle configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption that varies based on motor size and ancillary components.

Throughput

Throughput for single-head machines like the Sanko US10 typically ranges from 10 to 30 fills per minute, influenced by product viscosity and fill volume.

Materials of construction

Product contact parts are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Filling mechanism

This model commonly employs a volumetric piston filling mechanism, known for its accuracy with viscous products.

Footprint

A typical footprint for a standalone unit of this type would be approximately 800mm (W) x 800mm (D) x 1800mm (H), though this can vary.
