Products and services

• Net Weight Fillers Precision net weight filling machines for liquids and viscous products, using load cell technology and the patented Direct Fill System (DFS), for industrial manufacturers that require tight fill-weight tolerances and minimal product giveaway.
• Volumetric Fillers Volumetric filling machines that dose free-flowing liquids by volume (piston, gravity, or related volumetric methods), used as an alternative to net weight filling for appropriate products and throughputs.
• Drum and Tote Fillers Specialized filling equipment engineered to fill 55-gallon drums and 330-gallon intermediate bulk containers (totes) used by chemical, lubricant, coatings, and bulk food manufacturers.
• Lid Placers and Closers Automated lid placing and closing equipment that applies and secures lids onto pails, drums, and totes after filling, used to complete the container closing step on industrial packaging lines.
• Filling Nozzles Engineered filling nozzles designed for use with Ideal Pase filling machinery to handle different product viscosities, foaming characteristics, and container opening geometries.
• Integrated Filling Lines Turnkey engineered packaging lines that integrate Ideal Pase fillers with lid placers/closers, conveyors, and palletizing equipment into a single coordinated system for industrial container packaging.
