Cup Filling Machine Benefits
Most of the times, the packaging applications dominate the type of filler machine which is required for properly handling the project. However, many a times, the machine is selected by the suppliers or the end users on the basis of their preference. As it happens in case of auger filler or cup filer, few products may easily work on the fillers while some are more suitable for auger filler as compared to cup fillers and vice versa.
The cup fillers are mostly overlooked when it comes to auger filler. It is a thumb rule for the cup fillers that the products have to flow freely, consistently shaped. The products such as rice, coffee, kidney beans, hard candies, sprinkles like jimmies, etc. are best to fill with the cup filler. Some of these products are definitely best for auger filler. However, the products which were mentioned previously may be filled quickly and more often accurately with the help of cup fillers.
When the rate at which the product is filled is the main priority, you don’t have to go beyond cup fillers. A cup filler can easily cycle quickly as compared to auger filler and the products also exist into the containers. Typically, the attempts of all fill is to achieve the accuracy of 1 to 2% on most of the cup fillers. You need to always consider in mind that it’s the volumetric filling which we’re talking about. For the free flowing product, the OEM partners prefer cup fillers for the filling heads. With the help of cup fillers on top of the VFFS, it is relatively dense product like nuts, beans, etc.
Although the cup filler and the auger filler may run shared products, auger fillers may run wide range of product and also perform relatively better as compared to cup fillers. When the product has non free flow features or when it’s dusty, the auger fillers are considered to be the best. All fill offers free of cost lab testing which helps in deciding which machine would be the best for the job.
The cup fillers machine may also be sold as standalone, semi auto , on top of the horizontal and vertical bagger or the pouch machines and even sold as a part of the automatic and inline rotary system. A cup filler is made as standardised part of all fill product and can be easily customised for fulfilling the needs of the customers.
