Horizontal & Vertical Filling Solutions

HINDS-BOCK has been a trusted partner for many OEM manufacturers by supplying both standard and custom filling machines for flexible film packaging. Horizontal vacuum former as well as vertical form fill seal machines all can expand their benefits with a well-appointed filling machine.

HORIZONTAL VACUUM FORMER FILLERS/DEPOSITORS

Hinds-Bock has become the GO-TO supplier for filling machines and depositors to operate over HORIZONTAL VACUUM FORMER and other pocket, cavity, pouch forming machines.  Through the decades we have manufactured a large family of fillers/depositors ideal for accurate, clean, and precise placement to fill liquids or moist products ranging from water-thin brine or marinades to viscous potatoes, hummus, guacamole, peanut butter, candy or cheese. Ideal for value added red meat, fish, pork or poultry marination and further processing applications requiring the addition of sauce.  Our inherently generous and large port openings enable the gentle passage of particulates such as; fruit slices or large potato pieces in deli salads, avocado in guacamole, and tender cooked pastas in entrée meals.

Our machines are available in standard and custom sizes to match package configuration.  Optional features include diving or traveling spouts for product distribution, hopper agitation, heated or cooled machines and a large family of positive shut-off spouts.

Through these decades of application and solutions we have developed an understanding of what is needed to meet the current trends, demands, and requirements to help you maximize your product SKU matrix.  All while also allowing for high yield and efficient output.  Considerations such as:

• Shifting bridge designs to minimize equipment footprint while maximizing throughput
• Diving bridge designs for creating lateral spread of thick viscous products as well as minimize splashing
• Orbiting bridge designs for high-speed targeted applications of fixed centerline and pitch
• Spout designs for reducing thin sauce discharge velocity
• Vertical spout designs with multiple motion paths for shearing and reducing tailing
• USDA heavy washdown plant environment considerations
• Stainless steel construction with all contact parts of food-approved materials
• Robust & thick-walled frames free from unsealed penetrations
• Specific agitation designs to help with running trouble products
• Tool-free disassembly for ease of sanitation and maintenance
• USDA, FDA, OSHA, CSA, CE, EHEDG and 3A dairy knowledge and understanding

These labor-saving fillers and depositors can range from semi-custom machines to 100% blank sheet of paper customs.  They are designed to improve your quality and consistency when depositing large, delicate particulates without damaging the particulates.  These systems are known for a high degree of accuracy when filling or depositing into the forming arrays of HORIZONTAL VACUUM FORMERS.

Whether AIR powered or SERVO powered, all custom food equipment solutions are designed around a low cost of ownership and a maximization of ROI.  We look forward to discussing your custom application with you and seeing if Hinds-Bock can configure a solution to fit your specific needs.  So, if you are looking to fill or deposit sauces, soups, marinades, salsa, entrée items such as macaroni & cheese, gravy, or virtually any other pumpable product with or without particulates…we look forward to hearing from you!

VERTICAL FORM FILL AND SEAL FLEXIBLE POUCH FILLERS

Hinds-Bock has been a trusted partner to OEM and direct purchase VFFS manufacturers and users alike for decades.  We manufacture high quality liquid filling machines to integrate with Vertical Form/Fill/Seal machines to offer seamless automatic filling from low production volumes to high-speed applications.  Clean accurate filling of products ranging from thin pickle brine to viscous peanut butter as well as products with delicate particulates such as pie filling or soups are routinely filled with Hinds-Bock filling machines.

Hinds-Bock offers both modern Servo Pump Fillers utilizing the most modern recipe driven controls which automatically set the fill parameters by simply entering a recipe name into the operator interface as well as robust Single Piston and Multi-Piston pneumatic air powered piston fillers

• Base mounted machines for mounting atop the VFFS machines reducing flowpath
• Machines mounted on portable stands for less dedicated production lines
• Long Reach Positive Shut-Off Spout designs for extending into forming tubes
• Internally opening spouts for large particulated products
• Externally opening spouts for reducing thin liquid discharge velocity
• Stainless steel construction with all contact parts of food-approved materials
• Specific agitation designs to help with running trouble products – thick or thin with particulates
• Tool-free disassembly for ease of sanitation and maintenance
• USDA, FDA, OSHA, CSA, CE, EHEDG and 3A dairy knowledge and understanding

Between our standard and custom machine applications, coupled with our spout designs and hopper appointments, Hinds-Bock has a solution for your VFFS flexible film filling application.  So, if you are looking for a solution to fill blue ice gel packs, sauces, soups, marinades, salsa, entrée items such as macaroni & cheese, chili, gravy, or virtually any other pumpable product with or without particulates…we look forward to hearing from you!
