Tilters & Shakers
Also includes product settling conveyors, this equipment is used to vibrate the container so that the product inside settles or is more evenly distributed, such as shaking sticky ingredient powder in a bag.

Tilters and shakers, along with product settling conveyors, are designed to facilitate the even distribution or settling of contents within containers. These machines apply precise vibratory movements to ensure that materials, especially those that are prone to clumping like sticky powders, are uniformly dispersed or compacted. This process is crucial for optimizing packaging density and improving the appearance of the final product. By employing such equipment, manufacturers can enhance product consistency, reduce packaging volume, and ensure that contents are securely positioned within their containers for transport or sale.
Often integrated immediately after filling stations, these systems can tilt containers at specific angles or use synchronized shaking to eliminate air pockets, level off loose products, or ensure even distribution before sealing. They are especially useful for powders, granules, or uneven bulk materials that require settling for accurate sealing or secondary packaging.
