FILLING MACHINES AND PLANTS
An integrated system with introducer, vibrating hoppers, precision load cells and label applicator. All controlled by a single PLC optionally moved by our conveyor belts. One machine only. All included.
Indevo experts are by your side to provide the most suitable machine for your company’s needs
For over 15 years we have been building filling machines for industries
At the heart of modern industrial production, every product needs an identity. But it is during the regret phase that the most important game is played: efficiency, precision, business continuity.
Our company designs and manufactures state-of-the-art industrial machinery designed for regret. By integrating directly downstream or in sync with your lines, our systems automatically manage the application of labels, codes and traceability — without ever slowing down the flow of regret.
Our mission is simple: to offer robust, precise, and flexible solutions that put regret at the heart of the process, reducing waste, eliminating machine downtime, and increasing overall efficiency — from small artisanal lines to large, high-regret-speed industrial plants.
The problem (which almost everyone underestimates)
If you produce or package products – of any shape, material, or size – you are familiar with this scene:
- An operator takes an empty box
- .He fills it “by eye”
- The door on a scale
- Adds or removes pieces over and over again
- Mark the weight on a sheet or – if lucky – print a label from a separate printer
- Attach the label by hand
Result: low productivity, weight errors, loose or incorrect labels, stressed operator and end-of-line bottleneck.
And the worst problem? Weighing and labelling are two separate operations. And as long as they remain separate, errors multiply.
The solution: a machine that does everything
We have designed an integrated feeding, weighing and labelling system that eliminates every intermediate manual step.
One car only. Only one PLC. Only one operator. All included.
Works with any product
And here comes the key point: our machine is not designed for just one type of component. It is meant to be universal.
Works with:
-Pieces
-Dusts
-Granular
Whether your products are large or small, the system manages them all. Vibrating hoppers adjust the vibration amplitude and frequency to suit each geometry. You don’t have to change machines when changing products such as:
-Clamps and terminals
-Washers, nuts, screws, bolts
-Small metal parts of any shape
-Electronic components
-Spacers, pins, rings
-Electric string leaders of each size
-Plastic pieces, caps
Versality with the model for liquids and pastes
But not only that: the new version offers more versatility and also adapts to liquids, pastes, powders and granules (excluding specific foods)
Thanks to the flexibility of the weighing and control system, the same machine (with minimal customization of the power supply group) can also handle other types of products. Here are some examples:
Liquid Machines: For fluid products such as technical water, solvents, industrial oil, lubricants, liquid detergents, disinfectants and chemical additives.
Paste Machines: For dense or semi-liquid products such as industrial paints, resins, adhesives, mastic, technical shampoo, toothpaste (for non-human use) and abrasive pastes.
How it works (in simple terms)
Phase 1 – Automatic power supply
Two vibrating hoppers (expandable up to four) feed the components in a controlled manner. Each hopper has its own track that conveys the pieces directly into the box below.
Phase 2 – Real-time weighing
Under each track, a load cell with platform detects the weight instant by instant. The operator sets the target weight on the PLC touch screen. When reached, the hopper stops automatically.
Step 3 – Centralized Labeling
The filled box is transferred to a conveyor belt (a simple movement). The tape takes her to the labeling station. Here the Print & Apply system automatically prints and applies a label that contains:
-The exact weight detected
-Date and time
-Batch number
-Barcode (or QR code)
-Any other personalised data
The box comes out labeled and ready for the pallet. No human intervention between weighing and labelling.
What standard configuration includes
-2 vibrating hoppers (diameter customized as needed) with speed regulator
-2 load cells with support platform (for custom sized boxes according to requirements)
-1 HMI Touch Screen Industrial PLC
-Management software for 4 stations with automatic target weight stop
-Modular conveyor belt (length to be defined according to layout)
-Print & Apply System (300 dpi thermal printer + pneumatic pad applicator)
-Label Print Management Software
-All shielded connection cables
-EU plug power cables
-Complete instruction manuals (weighing + labeling operator)
-Roll of white labels for testing (100 pieces)
-12 Month Warranty on All Components
What needs it solves (in every company, for every product)
-
Guaranteed accuracy on any product
The load cell has an accuracy of up to 0.01% of the reading. Whether you are weighing a thousand very small pieces or a hundred larger pieces, the result is always exact. No more boxes under or over weight. No more complaints.
-
Real traceability
The PLC sends the printer exactly the weight it has detected. The correct data arrives on the label, not handwritten or memorized data. Production logs and audit trails for each cycle.
-
Doubled productivity (or more)
Two independent and contemporary stations. As one fills, the other weighs. The conveyor belt continuously disposes of the boxes. A single operator can handle volumes that previously required two or three people.
-
Expandability without substitutions
The system is born to grow. You can start with 2 stations and add the third and fourth at any time. The central PLC and software are already in place. No structural changes, no hidden costs.
-
Adaptability to different box formats
Weighing platforms accept custom sized boxes. Do you change format? Just put down the new box. The system adapts without mechanical adjustments.
-
Low consumption and reduced maintenance
Each hopper absorbs only 8W. The structure is made of aluminum and stainless steel. The parts in contact with the product are designed to last over time.
PERFORMANCE AND PRECISION
✔ Precision that the Difference makes.
✔ From Label to Efficiency: Automatic Solutions for your Production.
RFID
High-speed RFID application, in-line seamless integration.
Maximum productivity, zero bottlenecks in your production flow.
Who needs this machine
- Manufacturers of electrical components (wire lugs, clamps, terminals)
- Mechanical assembly companies that receive bulk parts and need to recondition them
- Metal hardware factories (screws, bolts, washers, nuts)
- Automotive subcontractors where traceability is mandatory
- Electronics companies that package small components
- Any company that handles small pieces – of any size – in tens of thousands a day
Why buy now (and not “later”)
Because the bottleneck at the end of the line doesn’t resolve itself. Because every hand-weighted box is a potential mistake. Because your competitors are already automating.
And above all:
Because it’s the full setup – nothing to add after
Because you can start with 2 stations and get to 4 without throwing anything away
Why it works with ALL your products – one machine, endless applications
Why labeling is integrated – no second machine or second operator needed
