System for filling yoghurt and quark into round plastic buckets of
various sizes and for labelling them with self-adhesive shrink labels.
The system consists of a separate filling/capping unit and a labeller.
Filler/capper: The plastic buckets are placed onto the conveyor belt
from the stack of buckets in the bucket magazine. The buckets are
sterilised with hydrogen peroxide and steam via a heating cartridge
prior to filling, and the lids are sterilised prior to sealing. The
product is filled into the buckets using a calibratable load cell
until a specified weight is reached. The sealer places lids from the
lid magazine onto the buckets and presses them firmly into place.
Labeller: Continuous labelling machine for self-adhesive sleeve
labels. Suitable for various bucket sizes with a capacity of 1–5
kg., Capacity filler/capper appr.: 450 units/h Based on a 6-litre
bucket; depends on container size and product viscosity, Capacity
labeler appr.: 1080 units/h, Formats: round plastic buckets ranging
