Is there a difference between a depositor and a filling machine ?

 

No, essentially the machines are the same. We use the term "depositor" for goods that are put on top of other products, such as depositing mashed potato on to minced meat. We use the term "filling" in the context of filling a jar with jam.

  

What type of filling machines do you manufacture ?

 

We manufacture volumetric piston pump depositors and filling machines ie. a pre-set measured amount of product is drawn from a feed hopper or other holding vessel into the piston pump; this is then dispensed through a depositing nozzle into a container. Please view Volumetric Depositing for details.

 

What type of products can your filling machines dispense ?

 

Our depositing and filling machinery is designed for "liquid" based products including semi-liquids and suspended solids. Our machines are not suitable for dry goods handling. Please view Suitable Products for details.

 

Can your filling machines deposit both hot and cold products ?

 

Yes. Due to the high grade specification of the seals incorporated within our machines, we can easily deposit hot goods in excess of 100 degrees celcius and of course cold food or liquid products.

 

What type of containers can your filling machines deposit into ?

 

We can deposit products into almost any type or size of container such as jars, bottles, ampules, pots, tubs, buckets, jerry cans, trays, foils, cake tins, cartons, sachets, pouches and bags.  

 

Do your filling machines damage delicate products ?

 

No. Due to the high quality design, they provide damage free depositing - this includes viscous goods and products containing large delicate particulates. 

 

How are your depositors and filling machines powered ?

 

They are powered pneumatically and therefore require a compressed air supply to operate. As our machines contain no electrics, it means they are suitable for food production areas and wash down applications.

 

Can I try before I buy ?

 

Yes. We openly encourage customers to trial our machines with their products to ensure the best possible results. This can be carried out on a no-obligation basis either at our factory or at your premises. Please view Sales, Demo's & Hire for details.

   

Do you provide an after sales support service ?

 

Yes. Upon delivery of your machine, a Riggs Autopack engineer will install and commission the equipment and provide full staff training. We also provide a comprehensive guarantee and operator manual with each machine, additional staff training upon request, planned maintenance and service schemes, technical support, engineer call out, and parts supply from stock.
