Tetra Pak® A3/Speed filling machine
Features
Automatic material supply
Uninterrupted production
There's no need to halt production in order to refill with packaging material or strips since both are replaced automatically. Automation also ensures that splices between packaging material reels and strip applications are of consistent, repeatable quality.
Aseptic system
Ensures aseptic conditions
The flow of sterile air and the peroxide concentration needed to maintain aseptic conditions is fully controlled in a closed loop, and designed to auto-correct if deviations occur. Packaging material is sterilised both inside and out in a peroxide bath and a UV lamp completes the sterilisation process.
Chain - based jaw system
Enabling machine’s high output
A unique chain-driven jaw system means that the machine's roll-fed packaging material is formed into packages in continuous motion, making this the fastest carton package filling in the world. An induction-based power transfer means there is no need for connected parts, which greatly reduces wear and tear.
Integrated cleaning unit
Higher overall equipment effectiveness
The integrated cleaning unit cleans and disinfects the equipment at pre-set time intervals. As it is integrated, it has several advantages over a Central CIP: fewer delays; a shorter cleaning cycle; better controlled cleaning and a lower consumption of chemicals
Operator interface
Enabling operators to work swiftly and efficiently
Several factors contribute to the easy operation of this filling machine: the Tetra Pak Operator Panel with its intuitive touch screen interface; large windows through which operators can observe production at first hand, and ground level access to essential working parts.
PLMS centre
Operational control and performance analysis
The PLMS centre automatically collects production data from the automation platform. To this, the operator can add his own observations. Improvements in production efficiency can then be made on the basis of the two.
iLine automation platform
More reliable production
As the filling machine is an integrated part of the line it communicates with all the other line equipment. Sterilisation, filling and sealing processes are continuously controlled, increasing the output of 'on-target' packages. This feature also enables selectable capacity for compatibility with existing processing or downstream equipment.
