Petri Dish Filling Machines For All Dish Types
Our MX000 series machines are designed for universal petri dish filling by using simple change parts. Common dish sizes include 55mm, 90mm, 150mm and contact/RODAC plates – all of these are easily produced on a single machine. Our unique style of plate handling allows our machines to use nearly half the space of our competitors and maintain high output. Because of our dish handling method, changing between dish sizes 90mm and smaller does not reduce the lane count or output speed. Custom machines can be quoted upon request. If only a single dish type needs to be used on the machine and future flexibility is not required the IQ-HSL series could be used to greatly increase production rate in nearly the same footprint.
The MX000 series can fill up to 8,000 dishes per hour with very efficient use of belt space, saving you floor space and production time. Because these machines dry product with covers fully removed the entire media surface is exposed to the same drying conditions for the entire time spent on the cooling belt. A growing number of locking plates such as 90mm and contact have also been successfully run on this machine.
Our petri dish filling machines can be used with many different products like diagnostic culture media, tissue culture, agricultural filling processes and anything else that requires filling of Petri dishes. Production rates on our machines are based on a three-minute dry time and more time can be added as needed.
IQ-MX000: Our most popular filling machine series
MX000 series machines are our most popular petri dish filling machines. With 100% open dish drying, all enclosed in a HEPA-filtered environment, your product will be evenly dried and protected from contaminants. As a machine that can accommodate most dish types this can be the backbone of a highly flexible filled petri dish production system. Machine layout can be customized to your unique needs ensuring a good fit in your production area. The modular head design allows easy changeover between dish types and easy to change parts at the end allow fast product changeover. Stacking via our drop stacking technique avoids stack tip-over and other problems found with conventional stackers.
