Filling and Closing Machine OPTIMA MPS

Filling

• Filling process in protective gas for reduced oxygen contents in the packaging
• Suction nozzles or suction bell for reduced dust emergence during filling
• Filling systems coordinated to the product
• Freely programmable filling nozzle movement and filling speed for below/over or bottom-up filling
• Filling station on the module trolley for a quick change and separate cleaning
• Hot filling
• Multi-component filling with different volumes
• Optimized filling process by spinning the container
• Agitator systems for preventing product separation
• Synchronization interface for the bottling plant
• Vibrating the containers under the filling positions for product compaction and optimal utilization of the container's volume
• Adding booklets, leaflets, spoon/spatula or give-aways

Dosing/Weighing

• 100% tare/gross weighing
• 200 parameter sets can be stored in the recipe memory
• Alternative volumetric or gravimetric positioning
• Gross weight check
• Identifying and adjusting for fluctuations in the bulk weight
• High-precision portioning for constant filling weight/volume
• Precise topping-up for small amounts for reducing the amount of product loss
• Dosing amount adjustment: freely programmable, adjustable intake and dosing time, adjustable return suction
• Different dosing technologies are available
• Volumetric dosing with auger filler

Containers

• Container or cap feed as bulk goods via fully automatic sorting and storage bin
• Raising the container when filling to prevent dust accumulation
• Container classification using a portioning device
• Container classification via the infeed screw
• Container transport using pucks for flexible production and fast conversion
• Centering the container for the optimal positioning of the containers below the work stations
• Cycled container transport
• Maximizing performance due to double-track container transport with the same number of filling positions
• Optimized container transport for preventing splashing in little headroom
• Very gentle processing of the containers
• Processing different container shapes

Shapes

• User-friendly, fast and primarily tool-free format change
• Fully or semi-automated format change

Design

• Can be designed as a monobloc combination with filling and sealing modules
• Simple assembly (plug and play) - low installation costs
• Explosion protection model
• Good visibility and accessibility
• Integrated separation for reject product and/or production patterns
• Flushing the rear area of the piston
• Compact design with low space requirement
• Multi-location working stations for high output
• Min./max. Sensors for jam detection upstream and downstream of the machine
• Modular machine design for maximum flexibility for future adaptations of products, packaging or functions
• Products in contact with metal parts made of stainless steel and/or food-grade plastic
• Secure and sturdy mechanical system
• Few moving parts resulting in minimized sealing and maintenance costs

Drive

• Drive via wear-free servomotors
• Torque controlled shut-off via sliding clutch, magnetic coupling or servo
• Precise compliance with the torque specification using the slipping clutch or permanent magnet coupling
• Screw spindle with adjustable speed

Manufacture/Closing

• Positioning the caps manually for semi-automatic processes
• Simple integration into existing packaging technologies
• Process-reliable sealing using thermal sealing, induction or ultrasound
• Processing all standard types of caps
• Processing packaging material from the stack
• Processing packaging material from the role
• Fully automatic processing of folding boxes and inliners via the magazine
• Cut-out erector for erecting and gluing cut-outs that can be folded

Cleaning

• Hygienic design for reliable production and easy cleaning
• Cleaning the system with liquids, no carry-over into the machine base due to the sealed, sloped machine plate
• Parts in contact with the product that are removable and are able to be cleaned with water for thorough cleaning
• Cleaning the product-carrying components (CIP/SIP)

Handling

• Simple, clearly arranged operation and graphic display of the machine status on the HMI
• HMI that can be moved linearly for optimal machine access and flexible operation

Transport

• No carry-over due to the transport system if the container is leaking or cleaning the system with liquids

Quality Management

• Diverse monitoring functions using sensors or camera systems for quality assurance
• Product savings through continuously monitoring the average and self-optimization
• Quality assurance via suitable monitoring functions
• Low-maintenance operation via mechanical cam control
