Problem
The filling and compaction of fine powder; leaf or fiber type spice products into containers at high production rates presents many difficulties; dust, product bridging and product degradation to name just a few.

Problem
Highly abrasive ceramic powder presents excessive equipment wear and occupational dust exposure to operators.

Solution
Design and build an automatic filling and sealing bag line with an enclosed "FILL-BY-WEIGHT" dispensing head. The Built-In dust extraction removed dust from contaminating the work area and seal surfaces of the plastic bags.

Problem
Cooked rice must be accurately dispensed with minimal compaction, to prevent product degradation. Placement of the portion on a specific area of the dinner plate was required to meet strict quality and appearance standards. The dispenser was to operate in a high humidity environment and be washed down with high temperature steam and caustic antibacterial solution.

Solution
Design and build a MUTLI-STATION, TRAVELING HEAD DISPENSER that was synchronized with a dual lane, continuous motion plate line. Hydraulic auger and agitator motors and controls provided trouble free performance during production and sanitizing operations.
