MF TECNO develops customized solutions, combining speed and quality.

Thanks to high flexibility and continuous R&D activity, our systems are suitable for a lot of applications.  Some examples are: pasta, biscuits, deep-frozen products, pet food, chips, rice and seed.

HOW DOES IT WORKS?

The continuous handling of the product, which is introduced into the loading hopper, is done by a series of oscillating buckets by means of a vibrating feeder.
The buckets are fixed equidistantly along a chain. Maintaining a horizontal position and overlapping the edges of the cups in the inlet section prevents product loss.
Each cup is then tilted and the product, which falls by force of gravity, is gently guided into the outlet hopper. This prevents it from being damaged during discharge. It guarantees maximum respect for the integrity of the transported product.
