Optimal Engineering Means Better Food Prep

Anything that optimizes your food processing activities is a boon to your business. JBT truly internalizes this concept. As such, it’s actually at the heart of our entire design process.

We’ve carefully and conscientiously engineered in features and functionality to maximize productivity, extend machinery lifespan, maintain equipment value, and more. You get all this while still ensuring your product meets the highest food safety and quality standards and package integrity. The outcome – a jackpot for you – includes:

• Construction using the latest processes and materials
• Compatibility with other food processing machinery
• Adaptable to your production needs
• Takes less time for training and to deploy
• Increased service longevity and higher resale value

Filling & Closing Made Easy

JBT has equipment for every task, and you can organize these machines into a full production line. Creating a bespoke, purpose-built solution for your food product could resolve many of the challenges you face. Here’s how:

• Automated processing
• Simple, intuitive controls
• Minimal operator training needed
• Reduced risk of human error
• Customizable and configurable to suit your specific needs

Better still, our filling and closing machinery makes achieving your operational targets – generating and maintaining product quality, boosting productivity, eliminating downtime, etc. – simple. It’s all part of the JBT experience.

Reliability: It’s Built In

There’s no room in your schedule for production delays. When processing equipment is offline, your ingredients can spoil, your workers are idle, and you could miss critical deadlines. You need machinery you can depend on – all day, every day. 

At JBT, we thoroughly understand the downstream effects of production interruptions. That’s why our filling and closing equipment’s made to withstand the test of time (and use). It’s rugged, constructed from the sturdiest materials. Because of this attention to excellence, you’ll enjoy:

• Cheaper, easier, and less maintenance
