Gravimetric Oil Filler with Variable Speed

The gravimetric oil filler with variable speed is a weight-based filling machine designed for olive oil and compatible liquid food products. Its integrated weighing scale measures the product dispensed into each container, while the electronic control system manages the filling cycle.

The machine is suitable for containers from 100 mL to 5 L and combines automatic dosing with straightforward operator control. It is supplied with a rubber-impeller pump rated at 600 L/h, an electronic variable-speed drive and two stainless steel filling nozzles for small and large containers.

Dedicated versions are also available for higher production rates and for dense or semi-solid products such as honey, chocolate, creams and tomato passata.

Automatic weight-based filling with variable speed

The filling process is designed to reduce manual intervention while allowing the operator to control the required quantity and filling speed.

The operator selects a stored recipe on the control panel, adjusts the filling-head height to suit the container and starts the machine.

The electronic system then manages the filling sequence, including:

• Automatic tare: the weighing system accounts for the container before filling.
• Container check: the control system checks the container before starting the filling cycle.
• Automatic start and stop: the machine manages the programmed filling quantity.
• End-of-fill slowdown: the filling speed decreases as the target weight is approached.
• Drip compensation: the electronics account for residual product delivered after valve closure.
• Graphic filling display: the control panel shows the progress of the filling operation.
• Production totalisers: the system tracks quantities dispensed and quantities remaining to be dispensed.

The electronic variable-speed drive allows the filling speed to be adjusted at any time using the built-in potentiometer.

The control panel provides 99 recipe positions, including 10 preset recipes, making it possible to manage different filling requirements and container formats.

The stated production capacity is indicative and depends on the product, container format and operating conditions. Pump flow rate and finished-container output are different specifications.

Available versions and production capacity

The gravimetric filling machine is available in different configurations to meet specific production requirements.

Standard version - 0.5 HP pump

• Electronic variable-speed drive.
• Rubber-impeller pump rated at 600 L/h.
• Motor power: 0.37 kW.
• Indicative output: 80 containers of 5 L per hour.

Higher-output version - 1.5 HP pump

• Electronic variable-speed drive.
• Rubber-impeller pump rated at 4,500 L/h.
• Motor power: 1.1 kW.
• Indicative output: 230 containers of 5 L per hour.

Special version for dense liquids

A dedicated configuration is available for dense products such as honey, chocolate and soap, as well as products containing suspended solids, including tomato passata.

This version includes a 2,000 L/h lobe pump and a filling configuration designed for these applications.

The accumulation tank is not included and must be selected separately if required.

Contact AgriStore to confirm the appropriate configuration before ordering a machine for dense, semi-solid or particulate products.

Filling applications and container formats

The standard gravimetric filler is designed primarily for olive oil and compatible liquids with suitable flow characteristics.

The integrated scale and electronic dosing system allow the operator to set the required fill quantity and adjust the filling speed according to the container.

Two filling nozzles are included for small and large formats. The filling-head height can be adjusted using the handwheel.

For products with significantly higher viscosity or suspended solids, the dedicated lobe-pump version should be considered instead of assuming that the standard rubber-impeller configuration is suitable.

Cleaning and sanitation

The machine is equipped with certified food-grade hoses suitable for olive oil and sanitisation at temperatures up to 110 degrees Celsius.

The filling circuit can be completely drained and cleaned using suitable chemical detergents or steam, according to the applicable cleaning procedure.

The stated sanitisation temperature refers to the cleaning system and does not establish a maximum product-filling temperature.

Optional accessories

The following accessories are available separately to adapt the machine to specific filling and production requirements:

• Bottle centring device: helps position containers beneath the filling head.
• Manual nitrogen injection valve: for introducing nitrogen into compatible containers.
• Load-cell metrological approval: optional verification by the relevant Weights and Measures authority for the applicable market.
• Manual Bag-in-Box filling kit: includes a lever for opening and closing standard VITOP taps, for bags up to 5 L.
• Silenced oil-free compressor: available as an additional accessory.

Important: metrological approval is an optional service and is not included in the standard configuration. Any approval required for commercial transactions must be confirmed for the destination market and intended use.

Gravimetric filling or flow-meter filling?

This machine uses an integrated weighing scale to control the amount of product dispensed into each container.

A flow-meter filling machine measures the liquid passing through its measuring system instead. The appropriate solution depends on the product, container format and required filling process.

For a different oil-dispensing configuration, see our oil filling machine with flow meter and dispensing gun.
