The Finch Filling Line makes filling easier, faster and more accurate, whilst minimising waste

With the Finch Filling Line, TFS has developed a semi-automatic filling machine that can significantly boost efficiency in various businesses where liquids are packaged.

This includes the food industry, the chemical sector and the cosmetics industry. As the investment required for this filling machine remains low compared to fully automatic systems, it quickly becomes an attractive and financially sound choice compared to manual filling. Various liquids, such as flammable substances, corrosive chemicals, ink and paint components, or food ingredients, can be filled quickly, precisely and safely using the Finch Filling Line.

The advantages of the Finch Filling Line

Although an operator is required to run the machine, the throughput is significantly faster thanks to the automated filling function. Compared to manual filling, the operator can therefore fill more units in a shorter time, thereby increasing productivity. The machine stops automatically as soon as the set quantity has been filled, ensuring accurate dosing and maintaining the speed of the process. Furthermore, waste is minimised. The result is a high level of consistency and quality in the end product.

How does the Finch Filling Line work?

The semi-automatic Finch Filling Line operates pneumatically and features fast and accurate weighing capabilities. The filling machine is very easy to operate:

To prepare, the operator places the container on the weighing platform beneath the filling nozzle;
The desired quantity of liquid is set via a control panel;
The operator activates the machine by pressing ‘start’ (or using the foot pedal), causing the machine to fill the container precisely with the set quantity of liquid;
After filling, the operator can seal the product (e.g. screw a cap onto a bottle), remove it and prepare the next container for the filling process.

Complete the Finch Filling Line with various options

The Finch Filling Line can be expanded as required with various options. For example, a roller conveyor is available as a weighing platform combined with a feed/discharge belt.  This not only enables a higher capacity to be achieved but also reduces the strain on the operator. A lifting aid is also available to reduce the strain involved in lifting the packaging.

In addition, we offer an automatic cap sealer for even greater convenience and efficiency, as well as a fully electric version. Let our specialists provide you with comprehensive information and inspiration. TFS is happy to work with you to find the filling solution that best suits your situation.

The machine is also available in an ATEX-certified version, specially developed for potentially explosive atmospheres, ensuring maximum safety and compliance with the relevant guidelines.
