Filling machines adopt different filling or dosing technologies. The choice depends on multiple factors, first above all are the liquid to be filled and the sort of container.

In order to fill PET bottles with flat or sparkling liquid products having an electrical conductivity not lower than 5, the volumetric filling system through magnetic inductive flow-meters is largely utilized; as a matter of fact, it ensures utmost accuracy and versatility, in addition to the fact that the flow-meters are maintenance-free instruments thanks to lack of moving parts inside.

Dosing operations are controlled by a PLC installed onto a filling turret.

Once measuring has been achieved, the PLC itself controls the filling valve closing.

Enriched with vitamins, fibres of salts, fruit juices and fruit-based drinks are nowadays part of our everyday habits in terms of beverage.

In order to answer these new trends in beverage consumption, filling technologies have been introduced by the packaging operators to ensure high production outputand packages to guarantee cost reduction, by replacing glass or bricks with PET, PP or HDPE bottles.

Usually, these containers do not allow the pasteurization of the product or its hot filling. That’s the reason why the packaging operators have opted towards the cold aseptic preparation and filling.

Working in condition of cold aseptic filling means having to sterilize separately the product, as well as the container and its closure. The environment where this process is done must be hygienically protected.

Containers are sanitized, rinsed with sterile water, filled with thermo-stabilized product, closed: all this is achieved in a sterile environment.

At the end, the finished product is conveyed to the labelling and packing operations.
