FILL STATION
The Hinds-Bock SP-160 fill station clamps directly to the discharge fitting of cooking kettles to cleanly and accurately fill a wide range of flowable or semi-flowable products into pouches, tubs or pails. The filler features large port openings for gentle handling of particulate products such as soups, stews or meatballs in sauce. A rigid stainless-steel discharge line elevates the positive shut-off spout to operator working height. The filler can be quickly disassembled without tolls for sanitizing. For casings, the SP-160 fill station comes with a casing clipper, waste bins and thermal transfer printer. For sealing pre-made pouches, the SP-160 fill station is equipped with a heat seal station.

PRECISION BULKER
Hollymatic’s Model 120 Precision Bulker was engineered from the KIS (keep it simple) principle. The adjustable stand and conveyor matches the output level of the grinder, providing a comfortable height for any operator. All operators need to do is plug in the bulker, drop paper into place and switch on the power. The bulker comes adjustable from 10-32 ounces, and consistently portions ground meat into loaves with clean, squared corners for an attractive appearance. Paper automatically dispenses under each portion, enhancing meat color and extending life. Loaves can go directly into meat case or freezer.
