Advantages of volume dispensers

Volumetric dispensers are filling machines that are designed to dispense precise, measured doses of product. They are essential in all areas of the food packing industry, from bottling and canning to packing ready-made meals. They have become a staple of the food industry because they offer the following advantages:

  • Savings on staff and labor
  • Reduced downtime
  • Consistent and accurate dosing to ensure equal filling of all containers
  • Automated to ensure ease of use and reliability
  • Versatile - they can handle a variety of products and packaging types.
  • Extremely easy to clean: made of stainless steel, and feature design elements such as minimal moving parts, tilt-out hoppers, hinged consoles, tilt-drip pans, easy head disassembly, and quick belt release.

Our Range of Filling Machines

Multi-Fill’s range of food filling machines includes several models of volumetric fillers, with options for additions and upgrades. Our machines are compatible with a wide variety of container conveying systems, and include the following:

  • MPFMP-60: A semi-automatic filler pocket filler for cooked rice and pasta, cut vegetables and fruit, cereal, ready-to-eat salads, and shredded meats. This filler is ideal for lower speed production lines, research and development labs, and pilot plant operations. It is rated at speeds up to 60 CPM, depending upon the product, volume to fill, container, line configuration, and operator.
  • MPFSH-075: An automatic pocket filler to dispense clean portions of products that are generally considered difficult to dispense, such as cooked rice and pasta, shrimp, and surimi at up to 75 cpm.
  • MPFSC-120: Dispenses clean, accurate portions of a wide variety of difficult-to-fill products at up to 120 cpm


Patented Distribution Systems

Our filling machines are all designed to work with your existing conveying equipment. Our patented distribution systems help to bridge the gap between the two. They are designed to meet the challenge of depositing product doses into various line configurations. We can integrate with your specific line layout, including multi-lane conveying systems or vertical pouch machines. 


Batch Feeding Hopper

The batch feeding hopper can be added to the MPFSH-075 and the MPFSC-120 machines when bulk feeding capacity is needed. It can be mounted on its own base or directly to the base of the filling machine. It can be fed by a vertical post dumper, conveyor, or chute from a second floor or platform.

Food packaging plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and quality of the food we consume. To maintain high standards and prevent foodborne illnesses, the food packaging industry follows a set of regulations known as Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). In this article, we will delve into cGMP and explore its impact on preventing foodborne illness. We will also take an inside look at how cGMP is implemented on a food factory line, the role of food filling equipment in ensuring compliance, and discuss the future of cGMP in food packaging for strengthening food safety.

Current Good Manufacturing Practices Food safety is of utmost importance in the food industry, and several systems work together to prevent foodborne illnesses. This article explores the harmonization of Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), and Hazard Analysis and Risk-based Preventive Controls (HARPC) in ensuring food line safety. We will delve into the synergy between these systems, the role of critical control points, and their practical application in both automatic and manual counting devices. Additionally, we will discuss how cGMP, HACCP, and HARPC optimize automatic filling machines for enhanced food safety. This is the second in a series of articles on cGMP.
