Underfilling on a production line is not an option.? Using unreliable technology, a leading manufacturer of edible oils were having to overfill to ensure that they met retailer and consumer expectations. Following an internal review, it became very clear that the losses incurred were not sustainable and it was at this stage that capex conversations started. 

Mengibar’s filling technology presented the ideal solution in terms of flexibility, smart flow control, enhanced accuracy, real time production management, electronic torque control and servo cam. 

As well as experiencing significant filling inaccuracies, the customer had also been manually capping screw on and push on caps, limiting production levels. 

Armed with a full understanding of the customer’s needs and expectations, we were able to offer a complete monoblock solution to combine the filling and capping operations, whilst ensuring full traceability of each bottle. 

Working collaboratively, the detailed technology specification was validated through rigid product testing and following a rigorous Factory Acceptance Test, the technology was shipped, installed and fully commissioned. 

On revisiting the installation the customer was pleased to report that product giveaway had reduced by more than 50% and production output had doubled.
