Innovative filling of seasoning and table sauces with load cell technology

This Modulfill NWJ was specifically designed for filling sauces, dressings and other viscous products. On the one hand, it determines the exact fill quantity via its load cells regardless of the product properties. And, on the other hand, it is equipped with a filling valve which has been especially developed for sauces avoiding the product to drip where it is not supposed to.

At a glance

• Precise, clean and gentle filling of sauces, dressings and spices
• Best flexibility for possible combinations of products and containers
• Available as an individual machine or integrated in a block
• Fully automatic CIP and SIP processes: 
  • Highest hygienic standards 
  • Low requirement of time and personnel

Filler with load cell technology

• High-precision determination of the fill quantity with electronic load cells 
• Filling thanks to special dimensions of the valve stem with hollow and cutting edge
  • ​​​​Low-viscosity products (salad dressings) 
  • High-viscosity products with rheological flow limit (mayonnaise or mustard)
  • Products with particles of up to 6 x 6 x 10 mm*
• Processes both glass as well as PET containers mostly with base or neck-handling
• Version in hygienic design 
  • ​​​with contact-free filling valves for cold filling of sensitive products
  • with automatically positioned CIP cups for CIP cleaning and sterilisation

Field of application

• Sauces, dressings and spices

Output

• Up to 48,000 containers per hour

*It must generally be possible to crush the particles. In individual cases, we can check product samples to approve their suitability to be handled on this machine.

The PET container is centred below the valve and weighed using load cells. Once the empty weight of the container has been determined, the filling valve is lowered to just above the container neck finish and opens up. During filling, the load cell checks the incoming product volume. The valve closes once the defined weight has been reached. The weight is checked once more after a short settling phase. The valve is only raised again shortly in front of the discharge starwheel. This ensures that only clean bottles will leave the machine.

Precise fill quantities

The valves of the Modulfill NWJ are equipped with load cells. This enables the system to achieve precise fill quantities – for every product, whatever its degree of viscosity or conductivity.

Clean filling

The thicker the product the greater the chance that it might drip after filling. The unattractive result: Dirty containers and a dirty filler, as well as unnecessary product losses. In order to protect your production exactly from these factors, the Modulfill NWJ Neck is operating with valves specifically developed for such situations providing clean filling without any spilling.

Gentle filling process 

The filling process is designed to fill particles with a size of up 6 x 6 x 10 mm without any damage.

Different product and container combinations 

The Modulfill is amazingly flexible and open for numerous combination options. It fills products with particles as well as low-viscosity and high-viscosity products into glass and PET containers.

Single machine or integrated in a block 

An arrangement customised exactly to your requirements: The Modulfill is available as a single machine or in combination with a capper and as a block solution with rinser and blow moulder. 

Best hygiene conditions 

Fully automatic CIP and SIP processes as well as an optional design in the clean room with automatic foam cleaning system or bottle and cap treatment ensure that the Modulfill NWJ meets even the highest hygienic requirements.
