The Ferrum FK10E is a used automatic piston filler for the food
industry. The machine operates according to the volumetric filling
principle: A reciprocating piston doses a defined amount of product,
which is discharged into the respective container via a rotary valve.
Such piston filling systems are typically used when products need to
be dosed more accurately than with simple gravity fillings and when
flowable to viscous products are processed. In general, filling
machines are used according to the product and technology for liquids,
pastes, powders or granules; piston fillers are particularly common
for more viscous products., This machine is suitable for companies
that want to fill cans, jars, or similar containers with pumpable
foods. Possible application areas include fine foods production, sauce
manufacturing, soups, fonds, vegetable preparations, pastes, spreads,
ready meals, canned products or comparable foods. The specific
suitability of the product depends on viscosity, particleness, filling
volume, temperature, gasket design, and existing filling parts., For
buyers, it is particularly relevant that, in addition to the machine,
documents, drawings, electrical schematic, spare parts list, and
numerous format parts are available., Filling principle: volumetric
via pistons stroke and rotary valve, Container types: cans and jars,
depending on the format set, Container feeding: feed screw and central
star, Fill trigger: contactless container detection, Function: no
container – no product, Volume adjustment: via handwheel and volume
curve, Product container: central tank / central container, Suitable
products: pumpable, flowable to paste-like foods, depending on
product, viscosity, fill volume and available plunger/valve parts,
Hot-fill: Instructions for hot filling available in the operating
manual, Cleaning: Instructions for cleaning with chemical cleaners,
steam, or hot water are available in the operating manual, power: up
to 240 bundles/h, available formats: 3 formats available for burr
diameter approx.: 66, 73 and 89 mm, Piston diameter:: 100 mm,
corresponding to a max. fill volume of 1,050 ml
