Ampack is breaking new ground in the aseptic filling of liquid foods: The Syntegon company is completing its modular portfolio with the flexible FBL filling machine for preformed bottles made of HDPE, PP and PET. In addition to baby food and clinical nutrition, the new development can also be used to gently fill milk- and plant-based drinks, dairy products and soups.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Anuga FoodTec in Cologne, Ampack will be providing comprehensive information about the new technology, which will continue the success story of proven filling and sealing machines for preformed cups in the future. Versions clean to aseptic<\/strong> to continue.<\/p>\n

\u201eThe FBL enables flexible and hygienically perfect production. A neck handling system adapted to the FBL for fast bottle format changeovers, as well as an innovative hygiene and maintenance concept, form the basis for this.\u201c<\/p>\n

There are a large number of liquid and viscous foods - each with different packaging requirements. The pre-moulded bottles available to manufacturers are correspondingly versatile: The options include different materials such as HDPE for particularly high barrier protection, PP and PET. With the FBL, Ampack is launching a multifunctional machine onto the market that Bottles made from all three materials with filling volumes between 50 ml and 1500 ml<\/strong> time-saving filling.<\/p>

For this purpose, Ampack has developed a Neck handling system for faster bottle format changeovers<\/strong> further developed: The bottles, which have been erected in advance and checked for leaks, are fed into the cell boards via a gripper. The gripper grips the bottles by the neck and can therefore quickly hook different bottle types into the cell boards. Even malleable formats such as bottles with enteral nutrition can be transported reliably thanks to the neck handling. \u201eThe system can be Adapt to different bottle formats in just a few simple steps<\/strong> and thus enables efficient transport,\u201c explains Karcier. A simple maintenance concept makes a decisive contribution to productivity: Elevating dosing stations ensure efficient inspection and maintenance of critical components.<\/p>\n

Gentle dosing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ampack has also come up with an innovation at the dosing stations: In addition to numerous fillers for highly sensitive and easy-to-dose products, the FBL offers gentle product filling. \u201eSome liquid foods, such as clinical nutrition, form a lot of foam during filling. To prevent foaming, we have developed a special dosing process. The result is low-foaming filling for the highest possible output<\/strong>\u201c emphasises Karcier. Depending on the filling volume, the FBL can fill up to 36,000 bottles per hour. The FBL also features the tried-and-tested SmartFill dosing concept, which impresses with its high filling accuracy and simple handling.<\/p>
