Frequently Asked Question's (FAQ's)
What type of food processing equipment can you supply?
Riggs Autopack can supply single or multi-head depositing / filling machines, transfer pumps, indexing convyor systems, capping machines, rotary tables, slat band conveyors, decorating heads, depositing nozzles, lid press machines, pie crimping stations. We can also provide fully automated filling production lines and manage turnkey projects.
Is there a difference between a depositing machine and a filling machine ?
Essentially the machines are the same. Here at Riggs Autopack we use the term "depositing" for food products that are put on top of other items, such as depositing mashed potato on to minced meat for example. The term "filling" is used in the context of filling a jar with jam for example.
What type of depositing / filling machine do you manufacture ?
Riggs Autopack manufacture "reciprocating, volumetric piston pump" machines for food production ie. a pre-set measured amount of product is drawn into the piston pump from the feed hopper, and then dispensed through a depositing nozzle into a container. Please see our Depositing & Filling Machines page for specific machine details, or see our Volumetric Depositing page for information on the operating principle of the machines.
What type of products can your machines handle ?
Our full range of depositing and filling equipment is designed specifically for food manufacturers, and provides damage free handling of "wet" based products - liquids, semi-liquids, suspended solids (including large or chunky particulates), viscous or fragile goods.
How are your depositing and filling machines powered ?
All our depositing and filling machines are powered pneumatically (compressed air). This means they are suitable for food production areas and wash down applications.
Can I try before I buy ?
Yes. We openly encourage all 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 see our Sales, Demo's & Hire page for further details.
What type and size of containers can your machines deposit / fill into ?
We can deposit / fill food and liquid products into most types and size of containers such as glass jars and bottles, plastic pots, tubs and buckets, ready meal and baking trays, foils, cartons, sachets, bags and doy packs. We can also deposit food items directly onto other food products in situ. The "single" deposit range of our machines is 3ml - 5000ml.
Can your machines handle both hot and cold products ?
Yes. Due to the high quality material specification of the food grade seals incorporated within our machines, we can easily handle both hot and cold products.
Do you provide an after sales support service?
Yes. Riggs Autopack employs both an office based and field based after sales support team. We provide a comprehensive guarantee on each machine and our team provides full staff training, planned maintenance and service schemes, technical support, rapid engineer call out and full parts supply from stock, thus ensuring each Riggs Autopack customer receives the highest levels of after sales support.
