Pack’R ‘CIPs into action

Pack’R, represented in the UK by Springvale Equipment Ltd, has developed and patented an advanced ‘clean in place’ (CIP) system in association with a major detergent manufacturer which allows very rapid change over between products with enzymes to non-biological products.

Several machines have been delivered to this one customer, the most recent of which was a monobloc 24 head filler (with 2 capping turrets each with 8 head screw capping heads) producing 180 containers/minute for 3-litre bottles. CIP features include: the level of cross contamination is less than 50ppm (parts per million); change of product in less than 10 minutes for a 24 head filler; total production of effluent during cleaning less than 150ltrs (24 head); product and effluents are in a closed circuit so there is no risk of operator contact.

Pack’R, which supplies weigh filler/cappers for liquid and viscous products, also offers indexing rotary machines for lower outputs (5 litres at 20 containers/minute) or the Compact continuous motion rotary machine (5 litres at 45 containers/minute) withe the same CIP system.
