High quality packs get consumers' approval

"Luthi fillers produce the best-looking pack on the market" according to a leading poultry canner. Designed for accurate fill weight, maximum product yield, attractive food appearance, and high production speed, Luthi Rotary Fillers can help you get consumers' attention, and save money while you're at it.

OVERFILLING IS MINIMIZED Overfilling has a direct impact on your bottom line. This cost is minimized when Luthi fillers are used to fill cans of your products. Our fillers are the most accurate in the industry, and in most cases weight can be maintained within ± 2% of target.

PRODUCT YIELD IS MAXIMIZED Uniform density is key to maximizing your product yield, and likewise your profits. Precise adjustments to air pressure controls allow you to customize the filling density to the type of product you are packing or other process parameters.

FOOD APPEARANCE IS ENHANCED Consumers judge the quality of canned products by how they look when the can is opened. Luthi Rotary Fillers form your product into the required size and shape before transferring it to the container. In specific applications a "slide pocket" compresses the product first horizontally, then vertically, to maintain the desired spiral appearance.

LUTHI FILLERS ARE FAST Luthi Rotary fillers are designed to fill 90 to 600 cans per minute. Faster filling means you are able to maximize plant capacity with fewer machines, or install more machines and produce more salable product. Either way, your bottom line benefits.

CONTAINER FLEXIBILITY When you order a Luthi Rotary filler it is built to your container and fill weight requirements. But when your market or products change, you can easily change, too. Machine parts to accommodate other container sizes are just a phone call away.

RELIABILITY Our fillers are built to operate 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, with minimal down time. Severe operating and environmental conditions, including very high temperatures and humidity, are no problem. Fully mechanical in construction, our fillers contain few electronic components. In fact, Luthi is so confident in the rugged construction of our machines that the annual consumption of wear parts represents about 3% of the fillers initial price.

SANITATION Luthi fillers are constructed of food grade approved materials. A specially formulated stainless steel coating ensures that our fillers can withstand constant exposure to the caustic and chlorine solutions used for cleaning and disinfecting.

SERVICE/LEASING Because most Luthi fillers are leased, rather than purchased, your up-front cost is lowered and your cash flow is improved. Leasing also means that we share your interest in keeping your machines well-maintained and running. To accomplish this goal we supervise installation and start-up, including multilingual operator training (including manuals and videos); provide annual inspections and an on-site inventory of wear parts at your plant; and offer technological improvements at a nominal cost. Luthi's highly trained service technicians travel worldwide to make sure that your machines are in top working order. Wear parts are currently provided free of charge.

APPLICATIONS  There are a series of models available for specific applications to ensure that the accuracy, speed, production rate and end product integrity are maintained.

Model LTF   This rotary filler is designed to fill chunk style tuna, crab, clams and surimi.

Model MPF  This Luthi filler is designed for meat, poultry and pet food products in which product appearance is critical to consumer approval.
