Unifiller ’ s Servo Multi Depositor is the Solution to the Food Industry ’ s COVID-19 Workforce Shortage
Unifiller Systems , a global leader in portioning equipment and a subsidiary of the Linxis Group of Companies , designs and manufactures over 30 different depositors and pumps . The Servo Multi Depositor is the perfect solution for food and bakery plants looking into automated solutions for staffing or sanitation problems stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic .
As with all of Unifiller ’ s machines , the Servo Multi is designed for a host of benefits , bringing convenience and efficiency to any food manufacturer looking to maintain high speed production rates . Its innovation was developed through decades of experience with pneumatic multi piston depositors and provides ease of use beyond any traditional piston depositor .
Unlike pneumatic depositors , the Servo Multi features programmable touch screen controls ,
capacity to store 100 recipes , and six depositing modes to choose from . It also possesses a built-in ability to control a pan conveyor or act as a slave to an automated conveyor-based production system to add further efficiency to the overall production process . Gentle portioning ensures product integrity with little to no breakdown .
The Servo Multi is also compatible with the full range of Unifiller nozzles . It can be integrated into a nozzle bridge with computer controlled 1.75 ” diving action over a conveyor to deposit flow-able products into shells , pans , and other applications . Available in 6 , 8 , 10 , and 12 nozzle configurations with a large deposit range from 0.3 to 10 oz . ( 10 to 299 ml ) per nozzle , the Servo Multi is able to achieve smaller minimum portions than most other pneumatic depositors .
Sonia Bal , Director of Marketing at Unifiller Systems , weighs in on the benefits of turning to automated equipment . “ There are growing factors impacting the way food producers work . Over the years , changes in minimum wage , fewer people entering the trades , and boomers transitioning to retirement , have all led to the need for more automation . More recently , COVID-19 has demonstrated that businesses are heavily impacted when staff are difficult to retain due to health and safety concerns . The current pandemic has been eye-opening . Automating what was previously done by hand – for example , using the Servo Multi for large-scale product depositing – can simplify a business ’ daily operations .”
