In high-volume food production, efficiency is critical. When filling viscous products like pancake batter, traditional single-head filling machines can limit output and create production bottlenecks. To solve this challenge, AMS Filling Systems engineered a custom twin head filling machine designed specifically for filling pancake batter into bags—significantly increasing throughput while maintaining accuracy and consistency.
The Challenge: High-Speed Filling of Viscous Pancake Batter
Pancake batter is a viscous food product that requires precise control during filling to ensure accurate weights, clean bag presentation, and repeatable performance. As demand increased, the customer’s existing single-head filler could no longer meet production requirements.
Key challenges included:
- Limited throughput from single-head filling equipment
- Inconsistent cycle times with viscous batter
- The need to maintain sanitary food-grade design
- Integration with existing bag filling and sealing equipment
The Solution: Custom Twin Head Filling Machine
AMS Filling Systems designed a twin head (dual head) filling system that allows two bags to be filled simultaneously. This custom filling equipment effectively doubles output within the same footprint—without adding labor or additional machines.
Key Features of the Twin Head Filling System
- Dual synchronized filling heads for parallel operation
- Precision flow control optimized for viscous food products
- Sanitary stainless-steel construction for food packaging
- Seamless integration with bag filling and sealing systems
- Built for continuous, high-throughput production
Each filling head operates independently while maintaining consistent fill accuracy across both lanes.
The Results: Increased Throughput and Line Efficiency
By implementing a twin head filling solution, the customer achieved:
- Significantly increased filling throughput
- Reduced cycle time per bag
- Improved production line balance
- Increased capacity without expanding floor space
The dual head filling system enabled higher output while maintaining consistent fill weights and product quality—critical factors in food packaging operations.
Why Twin Head Filling Equipment Improves Production
For manufacturers filling viscous products such as batter, sauces, or pastes, twin head filling machines offer key advantages:
- Higher output per minute
- Reduced cost per unit
- Improved production scalability
- Better utilization of upstream mixing and downstream packaging
Custom-designed dual head filling equipment allows manufacturers to meet growing demand without compromising accuracy or sanitation.
