FMZ filling machine with DT45

FMZ automation

Jar changes
run automatically.

With DT45 or DT80, the FMZ filling machine controls both dosing and jar feeding at the filling point.

Rethink your filling station

Which jar flow suits your work?

Both rotary tables transport jars to the filling point and are controlled by the FMZ filling machine. The difference lies in setup and jar guidance: on the DT45, you align empty jars manually at the rim. On the DT80, a jar guide moves them outwards. With both models, you load jars and remove the filled jars yourself.

The everyday difference

What runs automatically.
What you still handle.

MANUAL

Change every jar by hand.

↻ These manual steps repeat for every jar.

The operator positions and removes each jar directly at the filling point.

WITH FMZ ROTARY TABLE

The system handles jar changes.

The operator loads jars, removes filled jars, maintains the product supply and supervises operation.

  1. 01

    Feed

    The rotary table brings the next empty jar to the filling position.

  2. 02

    Detect & stop

    The sensor detects the jar. The rotary table stops.

  3. 03

    Fill

    The filling machine dispenses the preset quantity.

  4. 04

    Move on

    The table moves on. The deflector mechanically guides the filled jar out of the sensor's path.

↻ Back to step 01: the next empty jar.

The operator loads jars, removes filled jars, maintains the product supply and supervises operation.

One system, one control interface

Start manually today.
Automate later.

Keep the same filling machine. Connect DT45 or DT80 and automate jar changes – without a separate process controller for the rotary table.

The machine controls the process

Jar feeding, stopping and dosing are coordinated.

The operator stays in control

Load jars, remove filled jars and keep an eye on the product supply.

Add further processing steps

Further steps take place at their own stations. The operator transfers products between stations.

Which step currently limits your filling process?

When every jar is changed individually

A rotary table can handle repeated transport to the filling position. Compare the entire process: how often do you need to load and remove jars, and how is the product supplied? Fewer movements at the filling point do not mean operation can run unsupervised.

When product feeds too slowly

Automatic jar feeding does not solve an interrupted product supply. First check consistency, temperature, hose routing and container position. Weight variation or air in the feed should also be resolved before expansion. Otherwise, you are simply adding a rotary table to an unreliable dosing process.

When products change frequently

With small, changing batches, setup and cleaning can account for a large share of working time. Do not assess only the number of jars per hour during pumping. Record the times for your current workflow, then compare which step the accessory actually changes.
