The challenge
Omnia, a manufacturer of specialty fertilizers and bio-stimulants, needed to fill 20-litre (5 gal) canisters automatically, with enough buffer at the infeed that the operator did not have to feed the line continuously.
The solution
An EL2-E with a six-metre infeed conveyor that acts as a buffer of empty canisters. Inside the filler, two nozzles fill each canister by weight in sequence: the first delivers most of the target at high speed, the second adds the rest slowly for an accurate net weight. The next station takes a cap from the cap feeder and screws it on automatically. A labeller after the last station labels every canister.
The result
Around 130 canisters of 20 litres an hour, filled, capped and labelled automatically, with a long buffer that frees the operator.
