The Somme DP7 is a used weigh packaging machine — also referred to as a filling and dosing machine — dating from 2011 and currently located in Spain. Weigh packaging machines of this type are designed to measure and dispense precise quantities of product into containers, and are widely used in food processing lines where consistency and throughput are critical. Somme is a manufacturer associated with automatic filling and dosing equipment for the food industry.
This particular machine is a rotary automatic filling dosser with seven filling pistons, configured specifically for dense food products such as jams, crushed tomatoes, tomato concentrates, sauces, and similar viscous preparations, always in rigid containers. It has been installed with two customer-specified formats, with a product outlet pitch of 30 mm and a container entry height of 1,050 mm (± 50 mm). The maximum piston capacity is one litre, and the machine is rated for a production output of up to 80 containers per minute, depending on format and product. The installed format is 99 mm.
The filling principle relies on synchronisation that positions containers beneath all seven filling valves simultaneously. Product reaches the valves via pistons arranged peripherally around a product accumulator tank, with an adjustable stroke mechanism that regulates the dosed quantity. Container infeed is managed by a worm screw and feed star, and container discharge is free exit. Each piston and valve assembly is designed for rapid mounting and dismounting to facilitate fast, easy cleaning.
Electrically, the machine operates on 380 V, three-phase, 50 Hz supply and features independent motorisation with an electronic frequency inverter. All machine elements are controlled through a centralised electrical panel. Construction is entirely in stainless steel, with the exception of standard commercial components, and the machine is fully guarded and enclosed in accordance with CE regulations. The machine is offered in used condition.
