Versatility the Key to AdaptaFil™ Semi-Automatic Liquid Benchtop Filler
 
The countdown to the 2009 NFL draft is almost over.  For weeks, I've been reading about prospective draft picks - their strengths, their shortcomings, their football IQ, their character, and their passion for the game.  On the one hand, there are specialists that figure to go early on in the draft, like pass rushers and run stuffers.  But really, it's the other hand that interests me.  One word used frequently in the football world that can impact the drafting order and ultimately the amount of money a rookie receives in his first contract is "versatility."  Even in the roles we have with our own companies, versatility can often determine our level of success.
 
Versatility is now just as important to the technologies we use on the production floor or in the lab as it is in every day life.  Productivity often depends on versatility, with the speed of production, a reduction in down time, and product quality being factored into the equation.   
 
As fixated as I've been on versatility, it's no accident that I'm smitten with Filamatic's AdaptaFil™ Semi-Automatic Benchtop Filler.  With the capabilities of this machine you could easily mistake it for an automatic. This little liquid filler is perfectly suited to products that range from aqueous to viscous and semi-viscous, like lotions, creams, gels, shampoo, adhesives, and laundry detergent, just to name a few. 
 
The AdaptaFil™ is one of those role players, capable of transitioning between a peristaltic, piston, gear, or lobe pump.  Why have multiple machines when you can you can do a toolless changeover in 5 minutes or less?  This benchtop liquid filler is capable of filling in ml’s to gallons and the HMI touchscreen allows you to create, save, and copy 100+ recipes.  The AdaptaFil™ also features advanced fill weight compensation, adjustable batch counting, quick clean-up, and there is also a clean room design available.
