The complete line for primary packaging process
The example solutions proposed include the possibility for complete lines able to cover the primary packaging process, guaranteeing sanitisation of the empty container with an air and steam blower, its filling by means of a linear piston filler, and lastly, closure with an automatic linear capping machine equipped with floor-standing magnetic cap feeder. At the start of the line, it is therefore possible to install a GG75, suitable for cleaning tinplate cans, glass vases and bottles, plastic containers and bottles. The diameter of the containers ranges from 30 to 160 mm, with height from 50 to 280 mm. The centrifugal fan complete with filter allows a filtered air treatment, while the belt with pads for container gripping and overturning is controlled by an inverter. This solution allows processing of different formats without any additional costs and the possibility to make a format change without any additional equipment, rather making only the necessary adjustments. Possibility to carry out different treatments (air, steam, and hot water).
Filling systems for dense and semi dense products: fruit juices, jams, tomato pastes, sauces
A recent novelty is the linear piston filler PF-6L, suitable for all dense and semi-dense products such as fruit juices, jams, tomato pastes, mayonnaise, sauces, baby foods. The machine design caters to the industry’s extreme sanitisation requirements, with a filling zone reduced to the minimum to facilitate sanitisation.
The range includes 4- and 6-piston models, made entirely of stainless steel. The piston/double cylinder filling unit for bottles and jars works with a 20 to 1,100 ml capacity (for filling single-dose portions).
The automatic linear capping
Next is the GG100 automatic linear capper, fitted with the necessary optional equipment for capping vases and/or bottles with Regular, Medium, Deep, Twist-off, Pry-Twist, and Pry-off metal caps. The maximum production rate is 12,000 pieces/hour for containers with RTO type caps with diameter 38 mm. Capping occurs in a steam-saturated chamber with a high-level vacuum inside the container. The vacuum level is constant, while formats can be regulated without the use of special equipment, even with the machine in production.
The format change is therefore rapid and corrosion resistance is guaranteed. The capper is complete with a GG850 floor-standing magnetic cap feeder, suitable for sorting and feeding the caps in the hopper to the capping machines. The speed reaches up to 250 caps per minute, which varies depending on the diameter of the cap.
The product range is completed by semi-automatic and automatic depalletizers with bottom and top unloading (for high speeds), and semi-automatic and automatic palletizers for cartons, boxes, crates with bottom and top loading (for high speeds).
