CENTRIFILL™ & CENTRIWEIGH™

CentriFill™ Systems were initially developed to permit the accurate filling of primary packages of snack foods and confectionery products into shipper cartons. The shippers were transferred to secondary packaging operations. Accurate primary package counts were critical. A second version was developed for filling cereals and grains into primary packages at speeds ranging form 50 to 300 packages per minute depending upon the material. Preventing under fills and over fills is of primary importance. CentriFill™ is presented as a turn-key solution to accurate high speed filling requirement. A typical system includes in-feed and flow control devices to present the product to the metering unit and an out-feed device electronically looped with the container presentation conveyor. The CentriFill™ design can be integrated into a broad variety of process lines.

CentriWeigh™ Systems are designed to serve a check weigh function. It also has the added ability to control presentation so that all of the product arrives at the proper position at the correct time. The CentriWeigh™ flow-through design does not interrupt the continuous process flow to check the package weight. It's accuracy, typically 0.5%, assures product fill weight and presence and reduces the potential for over/under weights and counts. CentriWeigh™ is built as a turn-key unit with an in-feed conveyor, transition or orientation device, the weight-detection unit, and an out-feed to reposition the package onto the packaging line in the correct orientation. The system can be electronically linked to accumulation and counting systems and to diversion units to remove under or over weight products. It is designed to be integrated into a broad variety of process lines and configurations.
