New Fillers
We Build Telescopic Fillers for the Canning, Plastic, and Glass Filling Industries.
We have been constructing fillers for 20 years at our Lodi, California operation. From the smallest 30" ingredient dispensers to the high speed 60" bowls, these fillers are designed with an emphasis on easy, inexpensive maintenance and reliability.
The process of filling containers volumetrically with a telescopic filler is not new to the industry. FMC, Zilli-Bellini, and Zacmi have been building successful high speed fillers for years. We simply build these fillers with parts that processors will commonly have on their shelves or can access through their bearing supply houses — Hub City gear boxes, Timken bearings, Rexnord table top chain, Torq Guard clutches, just to name a few. Fillers are all stainless steel construction with a choice of either 304 or 316 grades of stainless.
We have fillers running in the United States, Mexico, Canada, and the Philippines. Many companies that have purchased our fillers have since come back and purchased again. We would be happy to put you in contact with these customers to hear what they have to say about an American made filler.

How It Works
Product is conveyed to the filler and delivered to the top bowl. As the filler turns, product is moved over the telescopic pockets located around the periphery of the top bowl.
Product waterfalls into the pockets filling them. Once full, the top excess is taken off and returned to be filled on the next revolution — first product in is first product filled into the container.
The loaded pockets rotate into the drop zone, where a gate in the lower holding plate allows the product to drop into the container. Fill volume is adjusted by changing the length between the upper and lower telescopic tubes.
Adjustments can be made via a simple manual control at the center of the bowl, or with optional electric or air-driven fill adjustment for greater automation. Safety clutches are standard on infeed/discharge stars, timing screw, and the main drive.
