New Filling Guideline Evaluates Methods for Accurate Drum and Bag Filling

A new Filling Guideline from METTLER TOLEDO addresses end users and machine builders, helping them to assess their current filling devices and evaluate alternative solutions. For end users, the Guideline provides a comprehensive overview of the most common filling technologies and terminology. Armed with this knowledge, end users can have a more productive and successful dialogue on an advanced level with potential vendors. The Guideline also provides advice for specifying professional request-for-quote documents.

In addition, the new guideline offers machine builders useful information on how to optimise the weighing performance of their filling machines. It explains the differences between speed and accuracy and explains other factors that influence filling accuracy.
The Filling Guideline includes sections that discuss:

• Finding the right filling method
• Filling machines, including bag fillers; bucket, drum and IBC fillers; and big-bag fillers
• More demanding applications
• Influence of fill material on accuracy
• Speed vs. accuracy
• Filling process and control
• Key filling machine components, including feeders, load-sensor technology and weighing terminals
