The product contact parts of the machine are 316 stainless steel while the frame is 304 stainless steel. It operates from left to right and utilizes a feedscrew infeed. It has change parts for several containers. If gallon containers are run, they would be run on every other station. Maximum bottle diameter is 6 inches.
