MATEER 3800 Inline Automatic Filler

About this machine

About this technology

The Mateer 3800 introduces the speed of a conveyor with this precision, inline automatic filling machine.  This also adds the intricacies of up- and downstream processes, however, BW Filling & Closing’s experience in designing, engineering and building entire integrated packaging systems ensures that even if this is your first experience with conveying, it goes smoothly. 

The 3800 is a single-head unit, capable of accurately filling free-flow powders and granules and non-free-flow powders, creams, pastes, and slurries.  It will be precise to within +/- 1.5%, which can be engineered to greater accuracy with product testing.  Mateer dry fillers are engineered for an expected life of 25 years, and we proudly still supply parts and service for active filling machines installed more than 60 years ago.

Product Details
  • Runs at speeds up to 1000 counts/revolution, filling up to 30 Containers Per Minute (CPM) 
  • The Servo motor provides more torque, greater efficiency and reliability 
  • Product contact parts are built from 304 or 316 stainless steel to stand up to high temperatures, alkalis, acids, salt and for easy cleaning 
  • The Servo motor is a low maintenance workhorse, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime 
  • The 3800 has tool-free easy adjust guide rails for enhanced product control and faster changeovers 
  • This is a continuously running automatic filler, no longer requiring an operator, just someone to feed containers into the machine 
  • Industry-standard PLC and HMI controls, enabling operators to easily input, change and monitor filling parameters.  This maximizes speed, efficiency and keeps downtime to a minimum.  Programming is included in the installation of any Mateer filling machine.  
  • Tool-free product changeover can be done in as little as 10 minutes,* minimizing equipment down-time. 
  • Auger height adjustment is outside of the product area and can be accomplished in seconds without disrupting production.  This separation prevents workers from placing their hands inside the hopper, reducing the possibility of product contamination and increasing operator safety.  
  • BW Filling & Closing strictly adheres to Food Grade Certification General Accepted Practices, using only food-grade stainless steel in our equipment designs.  Every weld is polished smooth, eliminating crevices or burrs on which bacteria can grow.  Mateer fillers can be upgraded to comply with 3-A Sanitary Standards certification, which affirms the integrity of hygienic processing equipment and systems. 
  • Mateer fillers are designed for operator safety, and include polycarbonate guards, hands-free height adjustments, interlocking access doors 
  • Come with a comprehensive manual that includes everything needed to keep your Mateer running smoothly.  Manuals include illustrations, how-to information on set up, changeovers and repairs; service and lubrication schedules, best-practice and safety tips.  Manuals are available in print or digitally in multiple languages, making this critical information easy to share with your entire team.  
* With a second set of change parts.  
Technical Data
  • Filler heads are cast from a single piece of aluminum for greater durability  
  • Servo motor provides repeatable accuracy 
  • Quick disconnect/self-aligning hopper for easy changeovers and clean ups 
  • Holds recipes for 50 products 
  • The conveyor can be raised for fast, easy cleaning 
  • Footprint: 104” long x 48” wide x 96” high (2641mm x 1219mm x 2438mm) 
  • Weight: Approximately 1,753 lbs (795 kg) 
  • Has a 230/380/460 volt, 3 phase, 50/60 hertz motor 


Options
  • Lifts for packing and bottom-up work in conjunction.  The container lift prevents blow up over the sides to minimize dust in filling.  
  • Hydraulic lift for bottom-up filling for products which must be densified for proper packing, or to avoid voids in product, especially in creams or pastes such as peanut butter or spackle. 
  • Air, or short, lift is a pressure or vacuum-assisted lift for raising containers off conveyors for weighing applications 
  • Vibrators to help settle product, located at the filling position or farther down the production line 
  • Level and cut off controls 
  • Remote fill options, allowing an operator to oversee production on multiple machines at a time 
  • Line guards detect back ups downstream, and will halt filling until the conveyor is cleared 
  • Checkweigh feedback will change the amount of product is filled by adjusting auger revolutions based on a feedback pulse
