Indumak Gravimetric Filler: precision, efficiency, and sustainability that transform the industry

Do you know the Indumak Gravimetric Filler? This equipment is the answer to one of the main challenges in the food industry: ensuring dosing precision and eliminating waste.

Small weight variations between packages may seem insignificant, but even one gram can represent tons of raw material lost by the end of the month.

The Gravimetric Filler works as a strategic tool to reduce costs, improve results, and achieve sustainability goals.

Read the article to understand how this technology works and why it is the smartest choice to eliminate production bottlenecks.

Gravimetric Filler: a strategic role in industrial competitiveness

Every industry shares the same goal: to produce better, with minimal waste and maximum predictability.

According to Sebrae (the Brazilian Support Service for Micro and Small Enterprise), industrial automation allows a company to perform tasks up to 70% faster than manual operations, increasing efficiency and process reliability.

In this context, adopting gravimetric dosing technology is essential for companies that want to sustain growth and strengthen their authority in the sector.

While a volumetric doser measures a fixed volume (and is therefore subject to density variations), the Gravimetric Filler weighs the product in real time using highly precise load cells.

This type of measurement provides full control overweight, without depending on product uniformity, resulting in key strategic benefits:

• High precision: accurate weight measurement for each package;
• Minimal waste: less overweight and greater raw material savings;
• Operational sustainability: efficient use of resources and reduced environmental impact.
• Regulatory compliance: meets labeling and weight-traceability requirements, avoiding rework and compliance issues.

The Gravimetric Filler is therefore a strategic tool for sustainable business growth which, combined with skilled operators, generates significant and lasting benefits.

Gravimetric dosing technology: the Indumak differential

Indumak offers a line of fillers that apply advanced engineering to automatically measure and correct any variation in product flow.

The secret lies in the dynamic and continuous adjustment of every gram dosed.

A practical example helps illustrate the impact of this technology:

Considering a savings of “just” 12 grams per package, in a packaging machine producing an average of 50 packages per minute, this represents a savings of 600 grams per minute or 36 kilograms per hour — totaling around 576 kilograms saved per day, 14.4 tons per month, and 172.8 tons per year.

In addition to reducing product waste, this gain can translate into a direct increase in the number of packages produced with the same volume of available product, boosting overall line productivity.

To achieve this objective, Indumak’s Gravimetric Fillers feature:

• High-precision load cells: real-time, accurate weight control.
• Synchronized servomotors: smooth movements and consistent repeatability.
• Automatic self-correction: cut-off adjustments according to product density.
• Operational flexibility: dosing products with different weights and particle sizes without complex adjustments.
• Lin-K monitoring: a system that tracks all weight readings in real time and generates data for analysis and continuous improvement.

The result is a robust, reliable, and adaptable system designed for modern demands — a true competitive advantage in a market where every gram matters.

Packaging equipment with scale systems: the ideal solution for every segment

Are you looking for safe, accurate, and efficient equipment? The Indumak FG line is your best choice.

Developed to meet different product profiles, it maintains the same quality standards and seamless integration with Indumak packaging lines.

Each model is designed to respond to specific needs related to product flow, density, and weight.

See how:

FG-4 — Precision for Medium- and High-Flowability Products

Ideal for sugar, powdered detergent, flour, coffee, and free-flowing granulated products.

The FG-4 features a compact design and high-precision load cells, ensuring maximum accuracy even with light and aerated products.

It includes an automatic auto-tare function, which performs weight correction in every cycle.

Watch the video to see this equipment in operation during the fractioning of 5 kg sugar.

FG-6 — Performance for Grains and Consistent Flow

Designed for the precise dosing of rice, beans, corn grits and higher-volume products.

The FG-6 combines superior dosing capacity with speed and stability.

Using the FG-6 reduces cycle times and increases overall plant productivity.

Both models integrate perfectly with complete Indumak packaging lines — an advantage that eliminates incompatibilities and simplifies industrial processes.

Watch the video below and see the FG-6 Gravimetric Filler dosing corn grits.

Indumak Gravimetric Fillers are part of an integrated ecosystem of solutions designed to maximize efficiency from the beginning to the end of the production line.

This ecosystem also includes Indumak’s LIN-K solutions, which allow real-time monitoring of weight measurements and operational performance, providing precise data for analysis, traceability, and continuous improvement of the packaging line.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions About Gravimetric Fillers

The main questions about these systems, answered in under 3 minutes.

1. What is a Gravimetric Filler, and how does it outperform a volumetric system?

It is equipment that doses product by actual weight, using high-precision load cells.
