Image Fillers: The Beginning

In 1996, Mike Kelly Sr. founded Image Fillers Inc. with a simple yet ambitious goal: to breathe new life into old auger fillers. He began by refurbishing used auger fillers to near-new condition. His hands-on approach to rebuilding these machines laid the foundation for what would become a pioneering force in the packaging industry.

Building Something New

By 1999, Mike Kelly Sr. had shifted from refurbishing machines to creating new ones. Drawing inspiration from the best features of various manufacturers, he introduced his own innovations that set Image Fillers apart. He was one of the first in the industry to offer anodized head castings, stainless steel parts and frames, and height-adjustable frames. One of his key decisions was to design non-proprietary machines that used readily available off-the-shelf parts, making maintenance and upgrades easy for customers.

Expanding into Automation

In the early 2000s, Image Fillers began building fully automatic machines. The company’s product range grew, with offerings from semi-automatic fillers to high-speed rotary fillers capable of filling hundreds of containers per minute. This shift marked the beginning of a new era for Image Fillers, positioning the company as an industry leader in packaging technology.

Fully Integrated Packaging Lines

By 2010, Image Fillers had introduced fully integrated packaging lines that included not just auger fillers but also supporting equipment like unscramblers, labelers, screw conveyors, cappers, coders, and accumulators. The ability to provide a complete packaging solution set the company apart and made Image Fillers a trusted partner for companies seeking efficiency and innovation.
