Suppliers release products for beverage packaging and storing operations
New innovations available for filling and printing operations
A supplier of liquid rotary filling systems, Fogg Co. introduced its carbonated filler machine that features double pre-evacuation with intermediate carbon dioxide purging (flushing) before filling. The combination of an analogue probe, for monitoring the filling tank level, and a modulating valve ensures gentle handling of the product and better control of undesired foaming, the company says. The machine is equipped to fill 355-ml (12-ounce) glass bottles at rates of 25 to 40 bottles a minute. It also caps the bottles with a metal crown cap that has been sorted by the attached automatic vibrating hopper, it adds. The machine can be adjusted to various specifications and fills anything from still or carbonated water to beer and wine.
