 AERATION AND DE-AERATION DURING FILLING WITH VERTICAL
IMPELLER

 reduction of wall friction in

the filling channel via
minimized aeration by
means of ring gap aeration
 ring gap aeration prevents,
that air is reaching the core
of the product
 amount of aeration is
depending on the filling
speed

 this results in a clean filling

process under high filling
pressure and thus in a dense
packing

 Expansion
ROTO-Packers can be prepared
for later expansion :

e.g. a ROTO-Packer Type 8(4) RLE

is equipped with 4 filling spouts in a first step

easy doubling of capacity while keeping the

product feed, bag placer, discharge conveyor line...
