Coverfill Systems are designed to convert fibre by opening and blowing into a pre-made case or cover. The unit is suitable for the filling of pillows, cushions and upholstery. The equipment is free standing and simple to operate. Fibre is hand fed from the bale, hopper or bin on to a driven feed conveyor. The fibre is worked gently and opened prior to blowing into a pre-made case. The filling rate is foot controlled by the operator to ensure even fibre distribution within the case. The cover fabric must allow the free passage of air and optimum results are achieved by using hollow or conjugate polyester fibre.

Coverfill Systems are delivered fully assembled and pre-wired requiring only a three phase mains connection, clear site and even floor. No bolting down is required.

Emberfern Feather Case Filler

Emberfern introduce their range of Feather Case Filling Equipment for down, down/feather mix, curled feather or poultry.

The system is versatile and designed for the smaller converter with outputs dependent upon product mix of upto 3000 kilos/per single shift working week. The production balance is achieved by one operator feeding an aerated chamber working in tandem with a colleague at the filling nozzle.

The cases to be filled, either regular or channelled are pre-sewn to leave an access point of 100mm nominal to receive the delivery nozzle.

The access should allow free cloth gathering around the nozzle for operator convenience but without allowing air escape and overspill.

The operation is completed by check weighing, case closure, brushing and packing.

The system is user and environmentally friendly with recirculation and sweeper points to collect overspill.

Feather can be drawn from a bin/container or directly from the sack.

The equipment is delivered either fully assembled or if necessary in 3 sections for ease of access.
