Filling stations for economical handling

The Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin) estimated lost production in the German through illness due to musculoskeletal and connective tissue problems at about 19.5 billion euros in 2019. Companies are therefore seeking ways to improve the ergonomics of the work process and protect the health of their employees. Fricke Abfülltechnik GmbH & Co. KG is making an important contribution: the FFS 21 filling station is suitable for low-viscosity liquids such as detergents and solvents, mineral oils and varnishes. It has been designed to allow filling on the palette, and the machine operator needs to use only one hand, making the process significantly more ergonomic. At the same time, the setting adjusts automatically after the programme number has been entered, ensuring avoidance of damage to the machine and the containers.
