Clean and precise filling
As a food & beverage producer or life science product supplier, you know exactly what a filling machine must do for you. We have the solution that suits your needs. All our machines are of a modular design and continuously monitor the dosing and filling processes.
Our filling technologies ensure precise dosing and filling for powders, liquids, or solids while eliminating contamination risks. Whether it's ground coffee or micro-dosed reagents, our modular machines deliver the precision you need. With continuous monitoring, we provide reliable solutions for food & beverage and life science product suppliers.
Suitable for wet and dry filling
Powder dosing
Powders come in many forms and consistencies. Rychiger offers optimized dosing technology for all types of powders. We design customized machines for your specific product, taking into account its density, moisture content, electrostatic charge, abrasivity and pourability. Our filling heads are designed to prevent the formation of dust, keeping the dosing area clean. Our powder dosing technologies:
In our multi-lane filling machines, servo-driven endless screws transfer ground coffee, powdered milk, cocoa powder or bouillon granules in batches of between 2 and 6 grams through a hopper directly into the container.
Spinner plates are particularly suitable for the fast and precise dosing and filling of naturally flowable products such as granulated sugar, black tea or instant coffee.
For naturally flowable products with a low dosage weight, volumetric powder dosing is the preferred solution. In these systems, a plate with holes moves back and forth below the powder bunker, releasing the required volume into the container.
Is your product of a pasty consistency? Or do you need to process liquids containing particles or lumps? In this case, we recommend using a piston doser that takes up the correct amount of product and places it in the container.
Liquid dosing
Even when processing highly viscose products or suspensions that tend to separate quickly, we fill precisely. Should the machine stop for some reason, a special anti-settling technology developed by Rychiger prevents particles from precipitating. Following preconditioning by heating or mixing, our machines dose liquids with the following technologies:
Do you wish to run filling processes along multiple lanes? Time-pressure systems are low-cost systems of limited complexity. To fill a liquid product on multiple lanes, all that is required is a shared pressure vessel and simple on/off valves.
Do you require a high-precision filling solution? Then opt for our tried and tested linear and rotary piston dosing units designed for high-precision volumetric dosing.
Does your production involve frequent product changes? Do you need to prevent cross-contamination? Peristaltic pumps ensure optimum dosing and are easy to clean.
Optimized solutions for any application
Whatever the properties of your product, we offer solutions for any application in the Food & Beverage and the Life Science product sector, as these examples demonstrate:
Do you need to frequently change product? In this case, we propose opting for a filling station installed on a trolley. Such stations are essentially plug&play units that can be connected to and removed from the machine as required.
Apart from filling machines for flowable bulk materials and liquids, Rychiger also offers assembly machines, for instance for the production of capsules. In addition, we have developed systems that are able to count the lyophilized spheres in bulk materials, and offer pick&place solutions for rack storage.
In a first step, we work with you to determine the flowability of your product, using one of our test units. The test results are then analyzed by our lab technicians in order to devise a dosing technology that best suits your process. We then optimize the design of the industrial plant accordingly, prior to assembly.
Our experts know the requirements of primary packaging.
