Riggs Autopack Launch Servo Control Depositors and Filling Machines at the PPMA Show 2018

Riggs Autopack Ltd is launching their servo control depositors and filling machines at this year’s PPMA Show, at Birmingham NEC.

Visitors to the Lancashire company stand on A21 will see a twin servo control unit which demonstrates the advantages of the advanced control features to give greater deposit control within a recipe-based HMI screen.

Product Recipe Control and Data

* Reduced down-time on set-up between product changeover with one touch, pre-set recipe selection.
* Repeatable re-selection of the fill speed and weight to suit each product and container size with recipes.
* Less reliance is placed on the operator in the set-up of the depositor, therefore reducing possible human error.
* Data extraction available for reports and analysis with feedback from 3rd party equipment (check weigher, metal detector).
* Reduced cost of electric over compressed air (needs calculating).

Greater Control

* Slow start / ramp up / slow finish control to increase the effective depositing of difficult food products or into awkwardly shaped containers.
* Fine tune increment weight + / – during cycles without need to stop machine.
* Feedback and automatic adjustment via weigh check cell.
* Automatic synchronisation or alternate strokes of individual pump stroke on multi-pump applications.
* Multi-head machines will all work at same time and will not be held back by slowest depositor.
* Varying viscosity products have no effect on the speed of the depositing so the volume should remain constant.
* Multi-shot function from a single prime stroke to reduce cycle times.
* Greater synchronization with other equipment such as dipping heads, rise on fill, swirl or decorating heads.

Also, on display will be a PLC control twin head automatic filling machine with conveyor, and a selection of semi-automatic filling machines and transfer pumps with pneumatic control designed for small to medium scale food production.
