Hunter Filling System targets their customers by giving some exceptionalservice which any customer can expect from them which are :

(a) Accuracy - volumetric repeatability (usually better than 0.5%)enables significant reduction of product wastage/giveaway as there is no

need to over fill containers to ensure correct weights. This feature alsoensures that there is little chance of underweight containers finding theirway into the market place, and the risk of expensive claims from unhappyconsumers is virtually eliminated.

(b) Cleanliness - a range of non-drip nozzles enables exceptionally cleanfilling of most products. The risk of contamination due to product residueon the container lip (and thread) is greatly reduced, and no time is lostcleaning spilled product.

(c) Fast filling - often frees up one or more operators for other work.Product dispensed under a controlled pressure - continuous output modeensures that the filling machine will determine the production rate, andnot the operator.

Fully automatic single and multiple head piston fillers are available tofurther increase efficiency and production rates - apart from the featuresmentioned above Hunter piston type volumetric fillers incorporate anumber of advantages including:

1. V ersatility - most units are able to handle products withviscosity/consistency from that of water to chutney, jams, stews etcand container sizes from 1ml to 1000 litres.

2. Hygienic construction - product contact parts are generally T316S/S - seals are compatible with most products - framework andcabinets are usually constructed
