Does the table move and start each fill automatically?
Yes. The table carries jars along the guide rail to the wire switch. When a jar activates the switch, the table stops and filling begins. After the dose is complete, the table turns again to present the next jar. You load empty jars, collect filled ones and supervise the run.
Why choose this over the 45 cm tabletop station?
The main difference is the larger working area and jar capacity. This station holds approximately twenty-two 450 g jars, compared with ten on the 45 cm model, and accommodates jars up to 290 mm high. Both use the DANA api MATIC 1000 pump; the larger table helps organise jar handling rather than increasing the pump’s capacity.
Does it weigh every jar?
No. You use a scale to calibrate test fills, then the machine dispenses the programmed dose. Check fills during production as appropriate, particularly when starting a new batch or changing the product, temperature or pack size.
How many jars per hour can I expect?
Output depends on the dose, product flow, feed arrangement, outlet and loading and collection routine. The 270 kg/h figure describes pump capacity. Tell us your pack sizes and required output so we can assess the complete filling workflow.
Can I change between different jar sizes?
Yes, within the suitable container range. Adjust the guide rail and filler position for the new jar, then select the relevant programme and check a test fill. Unusual shapes, narrow openings or containers close to the stated limits should be checked before ordering.
Do I need a hopper?
A hopper is optional. A suitable tank or vessel can feed the pump through a hose connection. Send us the vessel outlet size, its position relative to the pump and your proposed hose arrangement so we can check the fittings and feed setup required.
Can it fill something other than honey?
The DANA 1000 can be configured for suitable viscous products besides honey. Tell us how your product flows, its ingredients and any particles, filling temperature, target dose and container dimensions. We can check the pump, feed, outlet and jar-handling arrangement with Swienty before you order; a sample test may be needed.
Does it arrive ready assembled?
Assembly is required and instructions are included. Swienty estimates approximately 30 minutes for assembly. Allow additional time to prepare the product feed, adjust the station for your jars and calibrate the first fills.
How do I clean it between batches?
The product-contact parts can be disassembled for cleaning. Follow the supplied instructions for emptying the system, disconnecting the power, cleaning and reassembly. Include any allergen changeover requirements or particular cleaning temperatures when you enquire.
