Product & operator safety at the highest level
Safeguard unique product properties and create a safe working environment for employees thanks to advanced sterilization system. For improved product control and to minimize the risk of food contamination, the machine is equipped with a smaller sterile chamber and a controlled dosing of hydrogen peroxide per cup. In parallel, various additional features limit the bacterial build-up and maintenance needs.
Enhanced efficiency, high output, operator friendliness and low maintenance
Benefit from high output and low maintenance costs thanks to a patented servo-based anti-spilling functionality that enables control of movement of the two servo motors, resulting in less product waste. Additionally, the 360° rotating spray balls, with parallel cleaning of the dosing unit and sterile chamber, helps to achieve short cleaning times and smooth production.
The extractable sealing station and liftable dosing unit are just two examples for improved accessibility, resulting in simple operation and maintenance.
Greater flexibility for wider application range
Enjoy unique product flexibility by using changeable dosing parts for a broader range of products – including products with particles of up to 2.5 centimeters.
The benefit from enhanced product filling thanks to a modular dosing system that accommodates a wide range of different applications, thus offers greater cup format flexibility. By ensuring various hygienic executions, the Ampack FCL machine is an ideal solution for products requiring higher protection and a longer shelf-life outside of the cooling chain.
