Food Option filling machines from SIG Combibloc
SIG Combibloc have launched Food Option filling machines, filling machines based on their standard technology but which allow operators to fill a range of additional food products.
The new machines enable manufacturers to include up to 10% of chunky product ingredients. The size of the particulates can be up to 6 mm, and fibres can be 1 x 15 mm in size and viscosity can potentially be up to 3,500 mPas.
Frank Ludwig, global product manager Food at SIG Combibloc, says, “Today, our ultra-modern food-filling machines can aseptically fill products containing particulates up to 25 millimetres in size – individual fibres can even be as long as 40 millimetres. Products can have up to 50 per cent particulate content. But not every manufacturer who is active in the food business, or looking to enter it, takes full advantage of the possibilities offered by these food-filling machines, which are designed for the ‘crème de la crème’ of liquid food products. However, a whole host of food products can be filled with ease using the leaner Food Option filling machines, which are based on the proven and less complex standard aseptic filling technology from SIG Combibloc”.
