Single & Dual Piston Filler/Depositors
The Hinds-Bock 64-Series represents the industry standard for versatile, high-accuracy depositing. These “classic” piston fillers are engineered for food manufacturers who require a reliable solution for everything from thin sauces to heavy, chunky fillings. Whether you need a single-piston setup for dedicated lines or a dual-piston system for higher throughput, the 64-Series provides industrial durability in a user-friendly package.
Deal for a Broad Spectrum of Viscosities
The 64-Series excels at handling products that other fillers struggle with:
- Bakery: Muffin and cake batters and fruit fillings.
- Prepared Foods: Macaroni and cheese, potato salad, chili, and stews.
- Condiments & Sauces: Salsas, marinara with chunks, tartar sauce, and dressings.
- Dairy: Yogurt with fruit-on-the-bottom and cottage cheese.
High-Performance Single & Dual Piston Models
The 64-Series is available in two primary configurations to match your production scale:
- SP-64 (Single Piston): The ideal choice for targeted depositing in a single-lane environment. It offers the same precision as larger units but in a streamlined, cost-effective format for dedicated filling tasks.
- 2P-64 (Dual Piston): Designed for multi-lane or higher-speed applications, this model doubles your output without doubling your footprint. It is perfect for filling two containers simultaneously or providing higher volume for large-tray applications.
Why the 64-Series is the Industry Favorite
The 64-Series is often referred to as the “workhorse” of the food industry because of its robust engineering:
- Gentle Product Handling: Large port openings and a short product flow path allow the machine to move whole fruit pieces, meat chunks, and delicate batters without damage or degradation.
- Unmatched Accuracy: The positive shut-off delivery system ensures drip-free operation and eliminates product giveaway, keeping your weights consistent and your containers clean.
- Rapid Changeovers: Features tool-free disassembly and easy-to-clean components, reducing downtime between different product runs.
- Flexible Integration: These units can be mounted on adjustable-height stands with casters for mobility or integrated directly over existing conveyors and thermoforming machines.
- Sanitary Design: Constructed from heavy-gauge stainless steel, the 64-Series is built for high-pressure washdown environments and meets stringent USDA and FDA standards.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hinds-Bock Single & Dual Piston Models
Can the 64-Series handle high-temperature products?
Yes. These fillers are designed to handle products at cooking temperatures, making them ideal for transferring hot sauces, gravies, and fillings directly from kettles.
How do I adjust the deposit weight?
Weights are adjusted using a simple hand-wheel mechanism located at the rear of the machine. This allows for fine-tuning on the fly without stopping production.
Are there different spout options available?
Absolutely. Hinds-Bock offers a wide array of positive shut-off spouts, including diving spouts for bottom-up filling and shower-head spouts for even spreading.
What is the difference between the “Standard” and “Low-Profile” models?
The Low-Profile versions are specifically designed to fit under low-clearance areas or to be fed by low-discharge kettles, ensuring the machine fits your existing facility constraints.
Is it easy to clean for flavor changes?
Yes. The 64-Series features an “Easy-Clean” design where all product-contact parts can be removed by hand in minutes for full sanitation.
