Innovation at high-speed:
container filling machines
Newtec’s High-Speed Container Filler
(HSCF) has been designed for speed and
versatility, in response to client requests
for a solution capable of achieving higher
capacity across a variety of products and
packaging materials.
The HSCF can be easily adjusted to pack
a diverse range of products, from harder
items such as nuts and candies to softer
and more fragile foods such as cherry
tomatoes and blueberries. The solution
is capable of filling containers in various
dimensions with or without lids.
Newtec has designed a tool for each
container type and while covering complex
functions each tool is very easy to change
from running e.g. clamshell trays to
buckets. It has achieved this by using the
following three units: the denester, the
filling chute and the closing unit, which are
all exchangeable.

The cost-effective system is operated
by an intuitive interface, which is an
important factor, as well as the easy
access for cleaning and servicing if you
are changing your production many times
a day.
DESIGNED WITH SPEED IN MIND
Newtec mechanical engineer, Mathias
Theil Eilertsen, worked on the solution’s
development. The solution represents a
fully automatic system from start to finish
and is just one example of how Newtec
can streamline your applications and
increase your bottom line.
“It’s highly flexible and it offers highcapacity
and high-speed,” he says. “That’s
the main advantage of this machine. The
high flexibility comes from the concept
of having a basic machine where you add
a set of unique tools depending on your
preferred container types”.
“This means that you don’t need to buy a
completely new machine if you get a new
packaging material. That’s a big advantage.”
However, the machine has been designed
specifically to deliver higher levels of
speed. “Speed was quite a big thing for this
machine,” adds Mr Eilertsen. “That was the
main goal. With other machines, we are
doing about 70 or 80 packs a minute. We
can do up to 100 packs a minute with this
one”.
