Introduction
Absolute dedication to understanding our customers’
needs with the appropriate mix of expertise,
reliability, products, service and price for each
customer - the ethos of PLF International since its
inception in 1994.
PLF International’s commitment to higher-than-the-
industry-average investment in research &
development has resulted in what is considered to be
one of the most flexible, gentle, user-friendly powder
filling machines - for rigid containers - in the world,
with the ability to fill by vacuum (for products with
poor flowability), and by volume for products with
good flow characteristics. It was the first vacuum
filling machine to achieve ATEX certification.
Every machine is designed specifically for each
customer’s application, providing a flexible and
technical solution to their requirements.
This has led to many PLF installations in the UK,
and worldwide for a customerbase including many
blue chip companies.
At PLF International we strive to do more than just
meet the expectations of our customers.
We want first to anticipate them and then to
exceed them.

in contact with product during the filling operation.

Gassing System
Scoop Inserter
A simple, low-maintenance design with rapid container
changeover. The same diameter scoop with different bowl
depths can be handled without any changeover required.
No lubrication regime necessary. A camera detection
system with reject is available as an additional option
to ensure scoop placement.
Damaged Container/Particulate/
No Scoop Reject System
A simple machine which uses a vision system to detect
damaged containers, and to reject them prior to
entering the filling machine. A simple process, but
vital to maintaining the customer’s production and
reducing downtime.
To compliment their range of powder filling machinery, and
in response to customer demand, PLF has designed an
in-line gassing system, which reduces residual oxygen in
packaged product to minimal levels to extend shelf-life.
The PLF design incorporates extensive safety features
together with a unique gas recycling system which
reduces expensive gas usage significantly.
The system is sealed for safety, with analysers
in all areas, to ensure monitoring of any gas leakage
into the atmosphere. The system maintains oxygen
levels in the pre-gassed product (from the main feed
hopper), once it is dispensed into the container.
