Hot Fill means the bag-packing of food, that is at least 85°C, tightly into bags which are then quickly cooled down to 3°C. In this way, food will last for a longer time and both the taste and vitamin content are better preserved. The food can either be warmed up in a temperature suitable for the bag or without a bag. The Hot Fill -method is usually used to dispense foods that are liquid or mashed.
Metos Hot Fill -pumps are intended for the efficient and quick bagging of liquid foods straight from the pot to the bag. Soups, sauces and mashed potatoes can be distributed effortlessly. Due to the built-in scale, the product is weighed automatically during the same work stage. Changing the administration process from bags to containers is easy and convenient. Metos Hot Fill -pumps ensure the congruence of the portions. The portion size and the speed of the dispenser are set up using the touchscreen and the different programs available. Therefore, the workflow is flexible and effortless.
The dispensing of hot foods usually comes with many health and safety risks. These risks can be minimized with the help of using either the manual or automatic dispensing system. In addition, the pumps effectively prevent bad posture while you work.
There are three Hot Fill -pump models available: Hot-Fill Dos 1, Hot-Fill Dos 2 and Hot-Fill Dos 3. In the Dos 3 -automatic system, the user does not have to be in direct contact with hot foods that are close to 90 Celsius degrees. The automatic bag-packing unit seals the bags once they are filled. Furthermore, the need for lifting products over long distances is reduced since the ready-packaged dishes are transported from the filling station to the operator via a small conveyor belt.
