The machine is air driven and applicable for filling and capping flexible pouches (those that have an already existing spout)

Machine has a volumetric piston filler for filling of liquid or semi-liquid products.

Technical features

The main frame of the machine is made out stainless steel AISI 304, and is on wheels. All parts of the equipment including the shaft, that gets in contact with the product are manufactured using stainless steel AISI 304. The machine has a pouch manual positioning.

Filling unit consists of:

• volumetric dosing unit
• food grade set of gaskets
• three way rotary valve
• pneumatic two way no drop valve with switch off nozzle
• Food grade flexible hose
• Hose tail that connects the unit to the storage tank

Single head capping unit consists of:

• pneumatic motor
• stainless steel chuck for one size of plastic screw cap
• Manual control for adjusting the height of the equipment
• Nitrogen injection unit

HOW IT WORKS

The employee that operates the machine places the pouch on the collar. By using a hand-wheel control, the filler regulates the capacity of product. Speed of filling and suction can be adjusted. When the lever is manually moved, the filling valve starts working; with a press of a button, the employee then begins the filling process. Towards the end of the filling process, the machine injects nitrogen in the pouch empty space to expand and preserve the product shelf life, which effectively helps conservation of the product. The nitrogen injection time and flow can be adjusted using the pressure regulator. Eventually, the employee places the cap on the spout, puts the closing head in capping position, through the lever mechanism. The cap tightening is managed.
