Benefits of Filling Equipment

Marlen uses innovative technology to solve hard-to-fill product problems. Our filling equipment is designed to fill non-liquid solids such as shredded meats, flaked fish, naturally fermented veggies, moist chewing tobacco, shredded surimi, par-cooked diced chicken and more. Processors benefit from preserved product integrity and appearance along with accurate portions and a significant reduction in labor.

  • Laborsaving, accurate and repeatable outcome.

Automatic filling with capability to achieve fill weight accuracy of one standard deviation = +/- 2% target fill weight.

  • Quick product changeover.

A dual-purpose storage/cleaning cart holds all change parts that must be removed for sanitation. Regardless of varying containers or portion sizes, Marlen fillers can be easily adjusted for product portion shape, height, or weight.
