This machine has been developed by by ourselves to meet a customer request to provide a solution for labour intensive hand filling of "difficult to handle" products. It goes a step further than the usual volumetric depositors which cannot handle these types of product.

Our solution was to design and build a vibratory hopper system which feeds the product into the volumetric depositing heads, which rotate and then discharge the product into trays, pots, or pastry via an indexing conveyor. A simple, quick operation of changing the discs allows for a large range of deposit weights to be achieved. 

These depositing units are manufactured in single or twin units with small footprint and can be replicated down a line. The video shows a triple head unit depositing large portions of fresh meat and vegetables for Cornish Pasties.

The following products have been successfully deposited with accurate and consistent weights:

Dry pasta
Wet pasta
Rice based products
Frozen vegetables
Fresh vegetables

The videos shows a Euroflow Salad or Pasta Depositor.
