The machine forms the bag from polyethylene film in a reel, fills the milk, seals the bag and
mechanically press the production date. The machine is provided with UV system to sterilize the plastic
film.
SEMI-AUTOMATED FILLING MACHINE IN BAGS AND PET
Output
- about 300 pieces/h
Dosage
- 500...1000 ml

- preformed polyethylene bags
- PET bottles
In case of polyethylene bags, the filling and the sealing processes are automated, but the operator
handles the bag from the filling mechanism to the sealing mechanism.
In case of PET bottles, the filling is automated and the operator handles the bottle to the filling
mechanism and to the capping mechanism.
AUTOMATED FILLING MACHINE IN CUPS
Output
- about 1200 pieces/h, (according to the dosage and to the viscosity
of the product)
Dosage
- 200...500 ml
Intended

Packing materials
- preformed, thermo-sealable cups, Ø = 75 and 95 mm
- aluminum film caps, thermo-sealable, with Ø= 75 and 95 mm
The machine performs the followings: takes the cup from cups dispenser, fills the cup, takes the cap
from caps dispenser, seals the cup, marks the production date on the cap and pushes the cup to the
discharge conveyor.
