US-based Multi-Fill, who specialises in the manufacture of semi-automatic and automatic volumetric fillers for the Home Meal Replacement, Convenience Foods and Food Service industries, have successfully installed a Model MPFSH-075 Automatic Volumetric Filler for a large Victorian food manufacturer - Casa Della Pasta at their Thomastown facility.
Casa Della Pasta has a reputation for supplying high quality Fresh, Frozen & Precooked Pasta, Ready Meals, Pasta and Finishing Sauces and Pasta Bakes. Until the Multi-Fill was introduced into production, the company was constrained by the sticky nature of their Pasta products and were manually filling with a line output of 16 meals per minute.
The Multi-Fill MPFSH-075 volumetric filler was chosen by Casa Della Pasta as it is able to process difficult to handle products such as cooked rice, cooked pasta, cut fruit and vegetables, cereals and shredded meats and has an output speed of between 50-75cpm, depending on the product and the container type.
The machine installed at Casa has increased their production by 300% to 50 meals per minute, improved quality and eliminated the need for manual pre-dosing with a significant reduction in labour.
