Tube filling and closing machine FDS1500

for buckets

The FDS1500 is a filling, lidding and closing line for cup, tub or bucket feed by hand. We propose this model instead of the FDS2500 for customers looking cost-effective solutions or when the container is hard to denest or prefill by hand with a base product. A typical application would be per example for feta cheese sold in brine. An operator put the required weight of feta cheese in a container, slide it on the FDS1500’s conveyor for brine filling and container lidding and closing. This filling, lidding and closing line can work with round, square, oval or rectangular open mouth containers. Typically, changeover time by the operator, is about 15 minutes. Speed can reach 60-1lb containers per minute for thick products It can also accommodate our PL500 plastic film sealing unit. • High speed • PLC controlled • Reliable pick and place unit for lids distribution • True one by one lids escapement system • Trustworthy air removing closing head • All metal parts in stainless steel => long lasting, fully washable • Control GMC – HMI: a user-friendly touch-screen machine/operator interface, with status, set up, a maintenance screen, and production statistics • Control GMC – Safety operation & easy maintenance: this machine automatically stops itself if the lid denester head is jammed.
