Filling station Ø70 with DANA 2000+

01 · A 70 TABLE, NOT A 100

And that is where it differs from the large station

The filler is the same, and what Swienty declares for this station is some 800 half-kilo jars an hour. What changes is the table diameter, and with it how many containers wait on it and how much room the set takes up in the room.

With a 70 table you reload more often; with the 100 you load more at once and lose less time reloading. If the room is small or the volume moderate, the 70 is the one that fits.

02 · 800 HALF-KILO JARS

The pump gives more, but the table sets the pace

The pump moves up to 610 kg/h of honey, which is 400 litres an hour. Eight hundred half-kilo jars are 400 kg: the real pace stays below what the pump could deliver, because what sets the rhythm is the table and the size of the container.

It is the same lesson as across the range: when sizing, the figure that counts is jars an hour in your format, not pump flow. Tell us your jar and we will tell you what to expect.

03 · FROM 30 TO 120 MM ACROSS

And more than twenty stored programmes

It takes containers from 30 to 120 mm in diameter, with adjustable rail and height. It stores more than twenty programmes, which is what lets you change format without recalibrating: every regular jar has its own remembered.

Declared accuracy is ±1 g and the filling range starts at 10 g, so it covers everything from the sample jar to the large format. Noise stays below 70 dB.

04 · HALF AN HOUR OF ASSEMBLY

And it runs on wheels

The set arrives unassembled: filler, table and the extension plate that joins them. It takes about thirty minutes to assemble with the table manual, which shows how to bolt the plate under the DANA 2000+ and fix it to the column. Worth knowing so you do not count on bottling the day it arrives.

In exchange it goes on wheels and is adjustable in height and horizontal position, so it sits where it suits and moves when the jar format changes.

05 · A 2-INCH CONNECTION

1½-inch BS thread, 50 mm hose

The filler has a 1½-inch BS thread and comes with the bent fitting to 2 inches, the 50 mm hose, in other words DN50, and its hose clamp. If your honey tank or pump has a different outlet size, you will need reducers.

The filler draws 575 W, barely two amps: the electrical supply will never be the limiting factor.
