Filling and capping machine for filling plastic buckets of various
sizes with yoghurt and quark. The plastic buckets are placed onto the
conveyor belt from the stack of buckets in the bucket magazine. The
buckets are sterilised with hydrogen peroxide and steam using a
heating cartridge prior to filling, and the lids are sterilised prior
to sealing. The product is filled into the buckets using a
calibratable load cell until a specified weight is reached. The sealer
places lids from the lid magazine onto the buckets and presses them
firmly into place., Additional title: weight-based filling, Capacity
