This is a filling machine for dry products like ground coffee, seeds, coffee beans, beads, soap powder, dry bulk chemicals, etc. packed in the 2oz. to 5lbs. range. The FDS-3000-LM is very accurate and easy to operate. It has a semi-automatic scale and automatic tare, automatic feed and speed controls for both bulk and dribble feed rates, and automatic set points. This is the ideal filling machine for moving up from hand filling to automatic filling.

The feed pan is tilt-adjustable to give additional product flow control. The product flow from the hopper to the feed pan can also be controlled by an adjustable slide gate. All product contact surfaces are stainless steel and easily disassembled: two screw knobs hold the funnel, two screw knobs hold the vibratory feed, four nuts hold the hopper. If needed, the scale and control panel can be removed from the table, and the table can be removed from the frame.

Example: To run a relatively free-flowing product into a 1lb. package, the product is loaded into the hopper, and the total weight is set at 1lb. The product feed is tested and the feed pan tilt adjusted. The package is placed on top of the scale, and the table is adjusted (up/down) so that the funnel is inside the bag in order to keep the bag "standing" when empty. After starting the first fill cycle with the foot pedal, the controller will automatically switch into "learn mode" for the first cycle. During this time the controller tests the flow characteristics of the product and decides the best speeds and durations for bulk and dribble. The controller will automatically change the vibratory feed from bulk to dribble and stop the scale at 1lb. The bag is removed and sealed. Each successive container is now filled by placing it under the funnel and depressing the foot pedal.
