AP-8BT-8 Station Intermittent Motion Rotary Pouch Filling Machine

The AP-8BT can be used to fill a variety of different pouches, varying in specification, size, shape and function. The pouch filling machinery interfaces both electrically and mechanically with all of the different feeding systems that are necessary for filling different types of substrates.

It utilises Auger systems for feeding fine powders such as wheat and flour, volumetric or weigh measurements for granulated products and pumping systems for liquid and paste products.

All of these options can be specified with the AP-8BT filler or the filler can be integrated into existing packaging and filling lines. Image includes filling system for powdered products.

The intermittent rotary machine has 8 stations allowing different feeds to be added to the pouch at these stations. The machine can handle a variety of different type of pre-made pouches: flat or stand up pouches, with or without zip, fitted with spouts etc. The pouch filling machinery is completely manufactured in stainless steel, suitable for the food industry, and is ideal for quick clean down when changing from one product to another.

An advanced PLC control system, combined with 5.7” colour touch screen control panel, allows fast change-over from one style and size of pouch to another, with up to 20 different sets of parameters being stored within the system. This advanced programming also shows functional data and has self-diagnostic tools.

The operation of the AP-8BT pouch filling machine is fully pneumatic which facilitates easy operation and maintenance. The unit includes a built-in vacuum system to provide suction for bag picking and opening.
