Colchester & East Essex Co-operative Society has installed a BWI Dawson 24/8 rotary filler/capper in its dairy processing line. The company hopes the purchase will help it cope with the rapid expansion of its business.
The unit is being used to fill one, two, four and six pint polybottles, as well as one and two litre containers. It is equipped with sets of colour-coded change parts to provide quick change- over from one size of bottle to another. The machine has replaced an old machine on a newly expanded and modified filling line.
