A carousel is a piece of equipment which rotates the container being filled in a circular movement to allow for simultaneous actions to take place, namely weighing of the product, filling of the bag or container, compaction or deaeration and the removal of the filled container or bag from the carousel. This allows for a high throughput rate of the bagged or filled product.
Equipment that is used in conjunction with the carousel filling machine is multiple electronic weighing devices or volumetric filling units to measure the product being filled. The number of such units is determined by the throughput requirement and speed of the carousel. The exact number will be determined by our design engineers when designing the carousel filling machine.
The weighing system consists of pre-weigh hoppers with load cells, automatic feeding system and electronic control unit. Vibratory mechanisms are used for compaction of the product to ensure optimum use of the container volume. A suitable ejection mechanism is used to remove the filled container or bag from the carousel.
