When it comes to ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of your packaging line, selecting the right equipment is crucial. At D&R Packaging, we have spent decades refining our net weight filling machines to deliver unparalleled performance and reliability. Here’s why choosing D&R Packaging’s net weight filling machines is a decision that will enhance your operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Superior Design and Easy Operation
Our net weight filling machines are designed with user-friendliness in mind. The intuitive touch screen HMI (Human-Machine Interface) displays every timer and their definitions directly on the screen, making it easy to set up and operate. This feature minimizes the learning curve for new operators and ensures that your team can get up to speed quickly.
Touch Screen Features and Options
From the touch screen, operators can select from three different types of filling: bottom-up filling with the nozzle submerged, bottom-up fill with the nozzle slightly above the fill level, and top fill for fast-running products. This versatility ensures that our fillers can handle a wide range of products without the need for mechanical adjustments, streamlining your operations.
Advanced Filling Technology
Our fillers utilize a pneumatic servo for bottom-up filling, which adjusts the nozzle height relative to the weight of the product. This method ensures consistent fills and precise control, tracked by a linear encoder. This level of precision is crucial for maintaining product quality and reducing waste.
Types of Filling Selection
- Bottom-Up Filling (Nozzle Submerged): Ideal for products that are prone to foaming or splashing.
- Bottom-Up Fill (Nozzle Slightly Above Fill Level): Suitable for products that need gentle handling.
- Top Fill: Perfect for high-speed filling of less sensitive products.
Exceptional Customer Support
When you choose D&R Packaging, you’re not just getting a machine; you’re getting a dedicated support team. Our customers can speak directly with the engineers who designed and built their machines. This level of expertise ensures that most issues can be resolved over the phone, often within minutes. For more complex problems, we offer FaceTime support to provide real-time visual assistance.
Customer Support and Troubleshooting
Our customer support team is highly knowledgeable about every aspect of your machine. Most issues can be diagnosed and fixed over the phone or via FaceTime, reducing downtime and keeping your production line running smoothly.
Efficient and Cost-Effective Solutions
One of our success stories involves a large-scale toll packager who recouped their investment in our machines within a year, thanks to the significant reduction in yield loss. This efficiency is made possible by our innovative design, which allows for quick and tool-less changeover of wetted parts. This feature is particularly beneficial for operations that handle multiple products.
Tool-less Wetted Parts Changeover
Our design ensures that every part that comes in contact with the product, including hoses and nozzles, can be changed without tools. This quick-change capability reduces downtime and boosts productivity.
