Downtime Happens…Your Food Filling Equipment Doesn’t Have to Be the Problem
In the food industry, as in almost every business, downtime is inevitable and usually necessary. However, your food filling equipment need never be the reason for a filling line to come to a halt. New designs of volumetric fillers, in addition to enabling the filling of difficult to dispense foods, also reduce downtime to a bare minimum.
Food filling done cost-effectively
Food-grade machines are designed to provide fast, efficient, consistent and hygienic dispensing of products for food filling lines. Multi-Fill’s machines have several key design features that will help to provide these benefits:
- Robust construction: Volumetric fillers need to run for hours at a stretch, dispensing, reliably and consistently throughout. They need to be built sturdy resilient in order to keep running in a variety of conditions and for extended periods. The aim is optimal throughput with minimal maintenance. The machines can operate 24/7.
- Easy cleaning: In the food industry, cleaning is an essential function. A machine’s sanitary requirements should not hold back the production line for too long, however. Staff need to be able to clean thoroughly and have the machine up and running again in the shortest possible time. The best filling machines are designed and built with this in mind. Features such as easy disassembly and re-assembly (no tools needed), minimal moving parts, and tilt-out hoppers, ensure that the cleaning crew can get in and out in record time during product changeovers or routine cleanings.
- Flexibility: Food filling lines need versatile machines that can easily change between a variety of products. The changeover between products must cause enough downtime to affect productivity, so the machines need to be adaptable so that they can be cleaned and filled with new product very quickly.

Designing a food filling line: Product is king
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.
