Ball Droppers

Ball droppers are automatic devices designed for the precise insertion of mixing balls into aerosol containers. They are primarily used in the production of paints, varnishes, and other technical products, where the balls ensure proper mixing of the contents before use. Their integration into the production line increases automation and relieves operators of repetitive manual tasks.

Ball Dropper KUL-224

-

The KUL-224 Ball Dropper is an automatic device designed for precise dispensing of mixing balls – both metal and glass marbles – into aerosol containers. It is primarily used in the production of paints, varnishes, and technical products, where the balls are responsible for effectively mixing the contents before use.
The machine dispenses 1 to 4 balls at a time, with a capacity of up to 60 cycles per minute. It supports various ball diameters, allowing the process to be tailored to specific product requirements. The ball dropper is installed directly before the product filling module or integrated within it, streamlining line layout and increasing automation. With the KUL-224, operators are relieved of the repetitive manual task of placing balls into cans, significantly increasing efficiency.
The KUL-224 is powered by a pneumatic drive and equipped with electronic sensors. A built-in can detection sensor activates the No Can No Drop™ system – the device will not initiate the cycle unless a properly positioned container is detected under the head. An additional ball counting sensor monitors the dosing process and stops the cycle if no balls or an incorrect number of balls are dispensed. These features ensure constant quality of the final product and fully repeatable operation.
Key Features:
  • Automatic dispensing of 1–4 balls into aerosol cans
  • Capacity of up to 60 cycles/min
  • No Can No Drop™ system – no can = no cycle
  • Compatible with metal and glass marbles of various diameters
  • Ball counting sensor – ensures accurate dosing
  • Pneumatic drive with electronic control system
  • Improved ergonomics – eliminates manual ball insertion
  • Compact design – easy integration into production lines
