SOLID PACK (SP) TUNA FILLER

Solid Pack Tuna FillerLuthi Solid Pack (SP) Tuna fillers are designed for high production speed and accurate fill weight while maintaining the integrity of the product being packed. The major features of a Luthi SP Filler are as follows:

 

MAXIMUM PRODUCT YIELD: Infinitely adjustable air pressure is used to provide uniform densification of raw material as required to achieve optimum yield. Variations due to type of fish or the process parameters can be adjusted to meet yield requirements.

 

FILL WEIGHT CONTROL: Fill weight can be maintained to within 2% of target weight in most cases depending on can size and product. Micro adjustments to fill weight can be made while the machine is in operation.

PRODUCTION SPEED: The Luthi SP Filler is capable of 180/220 CPM with complete can and product control at all times.

 

CONTAINER FLEXIBILITY: The basic principal of the Luthi SP Filler allows for multiple cake heights with a common diameter initially specified. Change parts are available for other can diameter and heights required.

 

SANITATION AND SAFETY: Components used in the manufacture of the SP Filler are all food grade approved and designed for ease of cleaning and sanitizing. The basic machine design incorporates safe features that allow efficient operation, maintenance and adjustment.

PRODUCT INTEGRITY: The filler is designed to form the required cake in a metering chamber with a minimum of product movement before positioning the cake into the can. The cake is under positive control at all times so as not to create deformation or degradation of appearance.

 

RELIABILITY: The Luthi SP Filler is designed to operate continuously for many years under severe operating and environmental conditions. Some Luthi SP Fillers have been in continuous service more than a decade.

 

SERVICE: Since Luthi Fillers are leased, provision is made for inspection, service, training and free wear parts replacement with each facility. Our highly trained service technicians travel world wide.

 

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