Project Description

Aseptic Bag Filler 

Aseptic Bag Filler Application 

The aseptic bags filling machine is specially designed for large-capacity filling materials into containers under aseptic conditions, with a small footprint, high work stability and easy operation.

It is suitable for aseptic filling of liquid food and beverage products such as fruit and vegetable juice, jam, paste, puree or concentrated products, milk, flavored milk, milkshakes, dairy products and other viscous fluids such as syrup.

The packaging bag is made of aluminum-plastic composite aseptic bag (5-1000L), which can effectively block sunlight and oxygen; and extend the product’s shelf life maximum.

Aseptic Bags Filler Working Process 

Before the aseptic bag filler is put into production, the CIP cleaning and SIP sterilizing procedures will be done, the two processes are fully automatic and controlled by PLC. Until the filler chamber is in an aseptic state, then it will send a signal to the aseptic tank or UHT sterilizer to feed the material to the aseptic filler by the material pump.  Then the operator will insert the bag spout into the filling heads, then the material will fill into the bags and cap the bags automatically, the material feeding is measured by an E+H flowmeter or Mettler Toledo load sensor, once the filling volume meets the setting filling requirements, the sensor will send a signal to PLC to close the filling valve, the filling process is finished. During the filling cycle, the temperature of steam jets for filling valves is carefully monitored to ensure the whole filling process is aseptic.

Single head aseptic filler

Aseptic Bags Filler Feature

1.The aseptic filling machine can be designed as the single or double head. The double-headed filling machine can continuously fill, reducing backflow and improving production efficiency.

2. The real filling speed is relied on the material quantity from the sterilizer, the size of the aseptic bag and the working proficiency of workers. Normally single head machines can reach 2-3 tons per hour, double heads machines can reach more than 4 tons per hour.

3. The filling accuracy is related to the pressure changing from the aseptic tank, filling accuracy is ±1% measured by weighing sensor or flowmeter.

4. Using specially designed devices with Italian technology, could easily guarantee the whole filling processing aseptic.

5. Filling Chamber is kept high temperature by steam as over 95℃, which means a aseptic chamber all the time. When operator gets the aseptic bag spout into the chamber, the spout is sterilized by steam for a few seconds, and the filling pipe too. These steps can highly guarantee an aseptic filling.

6. All flanges in the machine are specially designed with steam protection, making sure the product in the pipe keeping aseptic.

7. The product hose, which is made in Italy, and approved by FDA in USA, is being used in the equipment, helping the filling head moving smoothly if needed.

8.The hose could be used in high temperature as 120℃, and high pressure as 10Bar(1.0MPa), which means SIP is easy and safe. The whole machine is controlled by PLC in the control cabinet. All filling steps would be performed automatically, all operator need to do is just put the bag spout into the chamber, and press the START button. In the meantime, all steps are being checked by proximity switches, making sure all steps could be performed one by one.

9.All parts working in the machine are from known brands with excellent and reliable performance, such as AirTAC cylinder, Spirax/Sarco steam valves, which could guarantee stable and long production time.

10. Operator could control the machine using the touch-screen very easily. All parameters are displayed on the screen and could be changed. It contains the PLC control and running system, operator panel, electrical and electro-pneumatic automation systems, as well as an option for remote maintenance. SUS304 stainless steel cabinet, IP54 protection, all elements are made by the known company, Siemens PLC, Schneider Touch-Screen, Omron elements, etc.

11.The temperature adjustment system automatically adjusts the temperature of the filling room, and uses steam spray to sterilize the bag mouth and the filling room to ensure that the filling room is always in a sterile state; the electromagnetic flowmeter and weight measurement system adjust the filling volume And accuracy; the filled product can be stored at room temperature for more than two years. CIP (Cleaning in place) and SIP (Sterilizing in place) can be synchronized with the aseptic tube sterilizer.

12. Suitable for bag spout: 1-inch size ELPO or VITOP.

13. The aseptic tank is suggested to equip with between single head filler and UHT sterilizer when filling to avoid recycling the products while the full bag is removed and empty bags in fed.

Filler head

Aseptic Filler Composition

The aseptic bag filling machine adopts Italian technology, it is composed of an aseptic filling system, filling head (with lift), weight measurement system, container feeding and discharge roller conveyor system, computer PLC control system, online label printing system (optional) and operation platform. All stainless steel structures. The aseptic filling machine can be directly connected to the sterilization machine, and the products after UHT sterilization can be directly filled in aseptic bags.

Double heads aseptic filler

Machine Type

Bag in Box(BIB) Filler: It is suitable for filling 5-25kg aseptic bags. And filling accuracy is controlled by the flowmeter, bag discharge uses the stainless steel tray to load for better distribution of the full bags. The label printing system can print the product weight and bar code.

—Bag In Drum(BID)Filler: It is suitable for filling 25-220kg aseptic bags. The material filling is measured by a weight sensor or flowmeter. Two clamps support the bag to avoid extra force during filling. Motorized roller conveyors make it easier to discharge the full bags to the warehouse.

—Intermediate Bulk Container(IBC) Filler: It is suitable for 1000kg aseptic bags. The material filling is measured by weighing, and the machine is equipped with a hydraulic lifting system to make it easier to fill and higher efficient.
