Stretch blow molder/filler block for flexible processing of high- and low-acid products

A healthy lifestyle and increasing mobility in society are resulting in a steadily growing demand for sensitive and functional beverages in many different plastic bottles. The blocked aseptic InnoPET BloFill ACF-L filler and capper suitably caters for this trend for greater product variety by managing smaller batches: with its enormous flexibility it is perfect for frequent product changeovers. The InnoPET BloFill ACF-L fills milk, mixed milk, sports, yogurt and coffee beverages and fruit and vegetable juices in outstanding quality into PET bottles. The filling machine yields excellent results for capacities of up to 28,000 bottles per hour holding between 100 and 2,000 milliliters.

A new transfer module enables the linear aseptic filler to be blocked with a standard rotary KHS stretch blow molder. This readily combines two systems that have proved themselves on the market for many years. The new, unique Double Gate heating concept (DoGa) on the blow molder allows up to 40% in energy costs to be saved while taking up a minimum amount of space compared to single-lane stretch blow molders of the same capacity. At the same time, the filler provides maximum aseptic safety thanks to its extremely small aseptic zone. Depending on market requirements, the machine can be equipped with a closure system for plastic screw caps and/or foil seals.
