24,000 Carton Packs per Hour

These new machines can fill 24,000 carton packs per hour, making the new aseptic high-speed filling machines the fastest in the world for small-size carton packages from 125 to 350 ml.

19/03/08 In the story of filling technology for aseptic carton packs, the new CFA 124 and CFA 724 high-speed filling machines from SIG Combibloc are setting new standards for speed and performance. With the same proven, unmatched volume flexibility as their predecessors, these new machines can fill 24,000 carton packs per hour, making the new aseptic high-speed filling machines the fastest in the world for small-size carton packages from 125 to 350 ml. The first CFA 124 for combiblocMini is in operation at Friesland Foods Foremost in Thailand, while China’s Mongolia Mengniu Dairy Industry is piloting the CFA 724 for combiblocSmall.

For a filling line speed, output and efficiency are the criteria on which food companies are increasingly focusing. Globally, improving plant performance to make production as efficient as possible and ensure long-term presence in the market is of paramount concern for filling companies. With servo drives and six tracks instead of the previous four, the new high-speed filling machines from SIG Combibloc are more efficient than ever – requiring almost the same space and manpower as the previous models. Consequently, for food manufacturers the machine capacity of 24,000 carton packs an hour means a reduction in operating costs, service costs and investment costs per 1.000 units installed capacity. Combining speed with an unmatched level of volume flexibility, the CFA 124 for combiblocMini can fill 125, 150, 200 and 250 ml carton packs. The enhanced range of the CFA 724 for combiblocSmall means it can fill a total of six different volumes: 150, 200, 250, 300, 330 and 350 ml. The high-speed filling machines can be adjusted to the required capacity in just a few simple steps and set to the new volume using a touch-screen monitor. This level of volume flexibility on a single machine at this high speed is a world first, enabling food manufacturers to position products to appeal to very specific target groups while at the same time keeping production unbeatably efficient.
