Fully automatic filling / packaging / packing line for tubs and buckets already denested

The FDS1500 is a lidding & closing automatic filling line made with one motorized tabletop belt conveyor that brings empty tubs or buckets at the filling position, under the lid denesting & lid depositor unit, and then under the closing unit.

This lidding & closing packaging line exists in a first configuration, for liquid and semi-liquid products, where the focus is on keeping the product inside the tubs or buckets.

In a second configuration, for dry, viscous or sticky products, the focus is on the speed.

This lidding & closing filling line is made for round, square or rectangular open mouth containers, either tamper evident or not; it can also accommodate our PL500 plastic film sealing machine (also named sealer or lidder).
