WFPE - Volumetric Filler

Applications & Use Cases

• Filling free-flowing granular products such as rice, pulses, and grains into various containers.
• Portioning dry pet food or bird seed into bags or pouches.
• Dispensing spices, coffee beans, or tea leaves into retail packaging.
• Packaging small hardware components or plastic pellets in industrial settings.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 10 to 60 fills per minute, depending on product density and desired fill volume.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard 230V, single-phase electrical supply, though some larger models may use three-phase.

Fill volume range

Volumetric fillers commonly offer adjustable fill volumes, typically from a few grams up to several kilograms, depending on the specific tooling.

Footprint

A compact design is common for 'Unifil' type fillers, often requiring a floor space of approximately 1m x 1m, plus access for operation and maintenance.

Construction materials

Food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) is typically used for all product contact parts to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Accuracy

Volumetric fillers are known for good fill accuracy, typically within +/- 1-2% for consistent products.
