Rotofill
The Rotofill is a flexible high speed rotary filling and closing machine incorporating servo technology. It can be used to seal pre-cut lids or reel fed film with clip on overcaps or a range of tamper evident closures.
Integration with a wide range of fillers is offered as standard giving an extremely versatile solution with up to three pots filled and sealed at a time.
Production speeds are dependent on the pot size, product consistency, fill volume and closure type but can be up to 120 pots per minute.
