FMZ filling machine
FMZ filling machine.
Dosing made easy.
Set the fill quantity on the touchscreen, check a test fill and position a jar: once filling mode is running, the sensor triggers dosing. Change jars by hand or add an FMZ rotary table.
Everyday filling
The machine takes care of dosing.
Filling involves the same repeated steps: position a jar, dispense the quantity, remove the jar. The FMZ filling machine handles dosing with a gear pump. You prepare the product, set up the filling point and check the fill quantity. The standard rotary table connection lets you automate jar feeding later.
Your benefits
Designed to make operation easier.
Contactless jar detection
Once filling mode is running, the sensor detects the positioned jar and triggers dosing. No mechanical switch against the jar is needed.
Integrated power supply
No additional external power supply on the worktop. The power supply is built into the housing.
Ready for automation as standard
The FMZ rotary table connection is part of the machine. DT45 and DT80 are controlled directly.
Easy pump head disassembly
Remove and disassemble the pump head. The dismantled pump head parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Direct technical support
Support from FMZ – with knowledge of the machine's design, electronics and software.

Features in detail
From the settings
to a filled jar.
-
Select the fill quantity
Tap a preset quantity or enter your required quantity.
-
Calibrate using actual weight
Weigh a test fill on an external scale and enter the actual weight.
-
Position the jar
Start filling mode and position the jar at the set-up sensor. Jar detection triggers dosing.
-
Controlled dosing
The gear pump delivers the preset quantity. Speed and calibration adjust the process.
-
A clean finish
Adjustable suck-back draws product back and reduces dripping.
-
Automate jar changes
An optional DT45 or DT80 handles feeding and jar changes at the filling point.
Calibrate without calculating the difference
Enter the actual weight.
Adjust dosing.
Weigh the contents of a test fill on an external scale and enter the actual fill weight. The machine calculates the correction. Check the next fill again; weight checks are also part of the process during production.

The FMZ filling machine does not use an integrated checkweigher. Suitable dosing quantities depend on the product and process.
Cleaning
Quick to dismantle.
Easy to clean.
The pump head can be removed and dismantled into its individual parts. This makes the gears, cover and seal accessible for cleaning. After cleaning, dry, visually inspect and reassemble according to the operating instructions.
-
Remove
Switch off the machine and disconnect it from the mains. Remove the pump head.
-
Disassemble
Make the cover, gears and seal accessible for cleaning.
-
Clean & dry
Clean the dismantled pump head parts according to the instructions, by hand or on the dishwasher's normal programme at a maximum of 65 °C. Allow them to dry completely and check for wear.
The housing, drive and electronics must not go in the dishwasher.
Does the pump head need additional lubrication?
No additional oil or grease lubrication is intended for the pump head components in contact with the product. The pumped product provides lubrication. Do not run the pump dry.
Which parts need regular checks?
Check gears, seals, shaft seal, suction hose and filling valves for wear or damage. Suitable replacement parts are available from FMZ or your specialist dealer.

Buyer's questions
Can I start without a rotary table?
Yes. The machine can be used on its own. The standard connection lets you add a DT45 or DT80 later.
Can I fill foods other than honey?
The starting point is honey processing; mustard is also already being filled in practice. This does not imply universal suitability for every recipe. Tell us your product, processing temperature, pieces or particles, and required fill quantity. Before use for another application, we will clarify suitability and the applicable operating conditions with you. The documentation supplied with the machine remains decisive.
Can I use the transfer kit to cream honey?
No. The transfer kit is for pumping and transferring. The FMZ filling machine does not replace a honey creaming machine.
Where can I get advice and a quotation?
Our specialist dealers advise on the machine, accessories and suitable equipment. FMZ is also available for technical questions.
How to assess a test fill
Deviation is not the same as variation
If several fills have similar weights but are consistently too light or too heavy, check calibration under the current conditions. If weights vary significantly, first document the feed, visible air, product condition and settings. A single correction value cannot explain changing results.
Check after changing speed
Set up the process at the speed you intend to use. If you change the speed, check the actual fill weight again and recalibrate if needed. The weight shown on the display does not replace an external measurement. Record the setting together with the product and temperature so that later checks are comparable.
What does custom quantity entry mean?
Setting a quantity in 1 g increments describes the input resolution. It does not mean dosing accuracy of one gram across the entire input range. Likewise, a high selectable total quantity is not a promise of pumping performance for every product. Your application and verified test fills are what matter.
