Compact Rotary Filler
Rigid Container Filling Automation for Growing Manufacturers and Co-Packers
The C-Series Compact Rotary Filler delivers the efficiency of rotary automation in a compact, flexible platform designed for growing manufacturers and co-packers.
Ideal for medium-volume production environments, the C-Series bridges the gap between manual filling operations and larger automated systems. Its small footprint, tool-less changeovers, and compatibility with multiple filling technologies make it easy to package a wide range of products while maximizing production flexibility.
From powders to popcorn, spices, candy, gummies, and other free-flowing products, the C-Series rotary filler helps manufacturers increase throughput without sacrificing valuable floor space.
Designed for Diverse Product Applications
The C-Series is available in application-specific configurations designed to meet the unique handling and filling requirements of different product categories. Common applications include:
• Powders
• Spices and seasonings
• Candy and gummies
• Popcorn and snack foods
• Granular and free-flowing products
Integrates with the Right Filling Technology
The C-Series can be configured to handle a variety of filling technologies for specific applications. Each configuration combines proven filling and weighing technology with the efficiency and reliability of a compact rotary filling platform.
• Auger Fillers for powders and finely granulated products
• Volumetric Cup Fillers for larger granulated products
• Multihead Weighers for precise weight-based filling
• Electronic Counters for countable products such as candy, tablets, and capsules

Patented Streaming System Prevents Clumping
Retaining the key features of Spee-Dee's high-speed rotary, a segmented carousel assembly (U.S. Patent #10,994,879) helps stream gummies from the weigher or counter to the filling system, allowing for accurate container filling in a compact footprint. Eliminate bottlenecks with this patented streaming technology:
- The weigher or counter deposits gummies into the fill bucket
- Pocket dividers in the fill bucket separate the gummies
- String out plate deposits gummies in a stream
Compact Rotary Features
Compact Size
Electrical panel mounting on the base of the machine reduces overall footprint, allowing for easy integration into your existing space.
Tool-Less Change Parts
Cleaning, maintenance and changeover made simple with tool-less change parts to accommodate different sized containers.
Patented Magnetic Rotary Funnels
Reduce changeover time and improve cleaning and sanitation with a patented magnetic funnel connection that eliminates the use of fasteners.
Container Adapters
Quickly and easily adapt to different container height and shape with custom container adapters.
Full Machine Access
Easily access all sections of the machine with reduced base size/footprint.
Checkweigher Feedback Improves Filling Accuracy
Accuracy is critical in powder filling applications, where even small variations can impact product yield and compliance. Maintaining consistent fill weights helps reduce product giveaway and ensures packages meet required specifications.
The C‑Series rotary filler is engineered to deliver precise, repeatable dosing through the synchronization of auger filling with rotary motion.
When integrated with a Spee‑Dee PLC-based checkweigher:
- Verifies container weights at production speed
- Automatically rejects under- or over-filled containers
- Continuous weight feedback automatically compensates for bulk density variation
- Helps maintain compliance and reduce waste
This combination of accurate filling and verification ensures consistent, high-quality output.
