Test Lab
We Offer Complimentary Product Testing
You name it, there's a good chance we've filled it, or something similar. Your project will depend on a variety of factors, including product flow characteristics and density, fill sizes, container size and configuration, filling times and accuracy. All-Fill provides product testing for customers to receive the most accurate information regarding their product application. By sending us samples of all of the products intended to run on one machine as well as containers that will be used, we can provide you with information on your application such as speeds, accuracies, and a suitable machine for your production requirements.
This free service allows us to determine the best machine, model, and most importantly, tooling for your product and specifications. At All-Fill, we make this process very simple and easy. All-Fill customers are encouraged to send sample product and containers to our facilities in Exton, PA and Phoenix, AZ for evaluation. We strongly recommend that our customers send in their sample products as well as any containers for the products for accurate test results.
In addition to sending samples, All-Fill encourages all customers to visit the test lab when running samples. Every time a customer visits the All-Fill test lab, they come away understanding their product characteristics, machinery and tooling better. The lab tests are perfect for customers looking to buy new machinery, improve an existing auger filler installation or customers that simply need new tooling for a new product that they want to introduce to their packaging operation.
"If the users of All-Fill auger fillers took the time to understand their products and to understand all the auger tooling and auger tooling accessories, they can easily improve their packaging operation regarding filling rate, filling accuracy as well as cleanliness and the presentation of their filled product,” exclaims Bailey, a long-time All-Fill employee. When evaluating your sample products, All-Fill will test a variety of tooling combinations that will yield the best speed and accuracy. The test lab is now run by Chris O'Keefe. Chris has taken over for the recently retired Biff Bailey, who ran the test lab for the last 27 years. O'Keefe has been with the company for the last 8 years and has spent the last year in the lab as Biff's understudy. Chris is excited to continue All-Fill's legacy as the industry leader in product handling experience. All-Fill will continue to find the best solution possible for your applications.
When All-Fill tests a product, we always supply the customer with a lab test report. The lab test report will contain all pertinent information relating to the tooling and the performance of the product when filled. Most importantly, the lab test clearly identifies the auger and funnel combination as well as the cycle time. The cycle time may be the most important piece of information on the lab test report, it is extremely important for OEM (original machinery manufacturers) suppliers of All-Fill auger fillers as it will determine how fast their bag machine (typically vertical form fill seal or horizontal form fill seal) will operate. Typically, a lab test is run with around 20 sample weights and the “notes” section of the lab test really help to describe the challenges of any given product. All-Fill highly encourages customers to take advantage of the free lab test services provided. In fact, it greatly benefits All-Fill as well as the user of our machinery.
