Foxhill Foods’ latest purchase from Riggs Autopack is a twin head fully automatic filling machine complete with conveyor and Emerito capping machine. They've been installed to integrate with existing on-site equipment and is expected to increase Foxhill’s output by up to 50%. The company will be using the new machinery from Riggs Autopack to fill varying containers ranging from 200g glass jars through to two litre plastic catering tubs with a wide range of sauces, jams and chutneys.

Having previously purchased a semi-automatic depositor, indexing conveyor and transfer pump, which was used for small batch runs, Foxhill Foods is confident the versatile new equipment will be capable of handling the different particulate sizes and viscosities of the company’s extensive product range. This is why Foxhill Foods keeps returning to the Lancashire based company. This long term relationship has been built on impeccable customer service and is strengthened by Riggs Autopack’s consistent delivery of quality machinery.

As one of the leading depositing equipment manufacturers in the UK, Riggs Autopack is renowned for providing affordable, high quality equipment that's easy to clean and includes rapid changeover times with easy operating and maintenance programmes.

Foxhill Foods’ owner Mr Paul Gorvett said: "We have dealt with Riggs Autopack for over seven years and the level of service the team provides is second to none. I continue to be impressed with Riggs' depth of knowledge, expertise and resilient equipment. The company has helped us move in the right direction towards adding further automation into our production and we will continue to use them for any future automation needs."

The decision by Foxhill Foods to purchase a fully automatic filling line, follows in the footsteps of a large number of other companies, owing to its high degree of flexibility and versatility. The popular volumetric depositing machines from Riggs Autopack offer damage free handling of delicate products, accuracy and can be designed to fit onto existing production lines, making it the number one choice for food manufacturers.

Mr Gorvett concluded: "The training and customer service provided by Riggs' field and internal staff has been outstanding and I have already recommended them to others."
