Fillers have become faster, more precise, and more hygienic over the years. The latest models offer sophisticated integrated controls and engineering that enables ease of maintenance and changeover.
The Volumeter 8000 flow meter filling line from Sidel features a complete range of machines from 12 to 65 heads depending on the output required. The basic machine can be equipped with ultra-clean or aseptic capabilities. Filling is done with electro-pneumatic or electromagnetic controls (for aseptic filling). Three types of closures are offered aluminum heat sealed, cap screw or cap push-on lid. The filling environment is a central component in the new classification system for Sidel fillers. The particular environment depends on the sensitivity of the liquid to microorganisms and the desired shelf life of the product. Thus, four families have been created : classic, Select, Ultra, Aseptic.
The Hoyer Comet range from Tetra Pak Hoyer consists of two in-line machines, the Hoyer Comet N1 and Hoyer Comet C2 and one rotary model the Hoyer Comet R-C1. Except for the small Hoyer Comet R-C1 rotary model all Hoyer Comet machines are equipped with PLC control systems to provide accurate control of production parameters and easy changeover through pre-programming facilities. Quick-lock lamellas and readily mountable equipment also keep product changeover times to a minimum. Hoyer also produces two semi-automatic fillers the Hoyer Comet CF-C1 Bulk Filler and the Hoyer Comet TEF Time Elapse Unit for filling cups.
