The Form & Frys piston filling machine designed to compliment the Form & Frys Charlie folding machine, is an inexpensive, flexible depositor for inside or outside fillings.

In addition to working together with a Form & Frys folding machine, the unit can be used as a stand-alone unit on the make up table or interfaced with your existing equipment.
 

Working description

• Fill the 50 litre hopper on the machine.
   
• The filling will be led into the pump house chambers
   
• Twin air cylinders activate the pistons, moving them forward which, in turn, ejects the filling through the nozzles.
   
• The air cylinders then return to their original position allowing the chambers to be filled again.
   
• For less fluid fillings the unit can be supplied with a turn shaft, which creates a vacuum in the chamber assisting the refilling of the chamber between strokes.
   
• The Form & Frys piston filling machine is built as a roll in roll out unit on a height adjustable “C” frame allowing it to be used in various positions.
