Turbo Rotary Rotary filling line

• Filling of sauces, yoghurts, desserts, and similar viscous or semi-viscous food products into pre-formed pots.
• Packaging of individual or multipack food items in a controlled and automated manner.
• Suitable for high-volume production lines requiring consistent filling and sealing.
• Used in dairy, ready meal, and condiment manufacturing facilities.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 2,000 to 12,000 units per hour, depending on product viscosity and pot size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

A rotary filling line typically requires a moderate to large operational footprint, often several square metres, to accommodate the main rotary unit, conveyors, and ancillary equipment.

Materials of construction

Components in contact with food products are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Filling accuracy

Modern rotary fillers typically offer high filling accuracy, often within +/- 1-2% by volume, crucial for product consistency and cost control.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, lubrication, and inspection of moving parts are typically required, along with periodic seal and gasket replacement.

• What types of products can this machine fill?

  This type of rotary filling line is typically suited for viscous and semi-viscous products such as sauces, yoghurts, creams, and similar food items. It can handle products with or without small particulates.

• Can the tooling be changed for different pot sizes?

• What is the typical lifespan of a used rotary filling line?

• Are spare parts readily available for these machines?

• What level of automation can be expected?

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.
