Many tabletop and semi-automatic filling machines manufactured by Liquid Packaging Solutions offer simple and efficient footswitch operation. An operator simply steps on the footswitch to activate the filling process. Tabletop fillers come equipped with footswitch operation for starting a filling cycle. The footswitch is often combined with a simple timer to allow for consistent, reliable liquid filling.
Simple PLC controls are always an option to footswitch operation, but for low production facilities or facilities that are machine operator driven, footswitch operation is an economical and efficient choice.
