Working Principle
The product is filled into the machine hopper. An empty tube is manually positioned below the filling nozzle and secured using the adjustable tube-holding arrangement.
The operator presses the foot pedal to actuate the mechanical filling mechanism. The piston draws the required quantity of product from the hopper and dispenses it through the filling nozzle into the tube.
After the filling cycle, the operator releases the foot pedal, removes the filled tube and positions the next empty tube.
The filling volume can be adjusted according to the required quantity within the selected filling range. After filling, the tubes can be transferred to a suitable tube sealing, crimping or closing machine.
