Fully Automatic Subsurface Filler

KA-16-030 – This fully-automatic subsurface filler is based on Kinesys Automation’s modular filling platform. With tool-less interchangeable filling nozzles, system is capable of filling both pails and jugs. Containers are brought into the filling station by way of an indexing beam conveyor. The scale features technology that allows for load cells to be calibrated at the touch of a button on the HMI. This system includes an infeed accumulation gravity conveyor, filling station and nozzles, and a lid closer for 5 gallon pails. This line can be equipped with a denester, lid placer, and palletizer, making it a true component of our modular design.

Dual Head Tray Filler

KA-16-031 – Kinesys Automation has developed a dual head net-weigh tray filler. Trays are automatically advanced by a pneumatically actuated stainless steel reciprocating beam, equipped with spring loaded fingers that capture the edge of the trays, advancing them by 2 stations per index cycle. Walking-beam assembly may be quickly and easily disassembled for cleaning and washdown. Trays are positioned on top of stainless steel platforms, shrouding the digital scales during any accidental spills. System includes independently actuated ball valves, dedicated for each station, allowing precise filling of each tray independent of the other.
