Start with the Engineering Details for Reliable Dry Filling Equipment

Attention to Detail Makes the Difference

When it comes to your customers, you pay attention to details: details your customers will recognize, appreciate, and may even view as the solid foundation of your relationship.  Maybe it's the range of sizes you provide, so there's one that's perfect for every need.

Some details aren't noticed until they're overlooked.  It's not just a matter of providing convenience; you're making sure your dry product is precisely filled, whether it's medication, a cleaning product, a chemical or a cake mix.  That it reseals tightly so ingredients stay fresh and flavorful.  That it's easy to grip and open, whether your customer is 28 or 88.  That you offer sizes that work for a busy family meal or a snack that slips into a lunch box or gym bag.  At Mateer, we believe in partnering with you to provide the kind of details you and your customers will value.

Attention to detail is the foundation for excellence in the design, engineering, and performance of our Mateer precision dry filling equipment.  Our semi-automatic, automatic, and rotary machines provide high filling accuracy across a wide range  of product consistencies, including free-flowing and non-free-flowing powders; creams, pastes, and slurries.  Every Mateer filler is manufactured with pride to even the smallest of details:

   • Every weld is ground and polished to eliminate burrs and crevices where bacteria can grow
   • Standard auger bearings are replaced with an oversized heavy-duty version, resulting in longer life
   • Aluminum heads are cast, not formed from welding individual pieces together, eliminating torque twist
   • Auger height adjustments are located outside the production zone, allowing operators to make adjustments in seconds, without disrupting production and without the need to place their hands inside the hopper, ensuring their safety while also reducing the risk of product contamination
   • Change parts are designed to be tool-free, enabling product changeover in as little as 10 minutes

Details like these minimize unscheduled downtime and improve operational efficiency with precise filling accuracy (within +/- 1.5%) and speeds from 8 to 650 Containers Per Minute (CPM), depending on the specific requirements of your application.  They improve safety and cleanability.  They ensure longer life for your equipment, with a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and they make it easier to operate and maintain.  Mateer fillers grow with your company because our engineers design with your project's specific parameters in mind.
