Vegan Protein (imitation meat) filling machines

The ready-made meal industry needs to cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences. Difficult-to-dispense products like couscous and quinoa are increasingly popular, as are vegan protein products like plant-based, imitation hamburger, sausages, etc. Such products require specialized filling equipment.


When it comes to filling machines for vegan proteins, the demands and challenges are similar to those faced with other foods such as meats and cooked pasta: maintaining consistent quantities and textures of foods in each package filled. Since many plant proteins can be quite sticky in consistency, the main issue is for the machinery to keep the product flowing and prevent it from clumping in the hoppers and fill nozzles.


Multi-Fill’s range of multi-purpose filling machines

Multi-Fill excels in meeting the demands of food producers who need to fill challenging products such as products made from meat alternatives such as soy, tofu, or whey protein, to name only a few. In particular, our MPFSC-120, a machine designed for the ultimate speed and efficiency, was created for high-speed delivery of even the stickiest products, and maintaining consistent textures, volumes, and weights. It can fill up to 120 containers per minute, depending on the fill volumes and line configurations.   



No matter what food product you need to fill, Multi-Fill can provide the machines you need to maintain efficient filling lines. Contact us for more information on our volumetric filling machines

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.
