Smurfit Kappa launches new triple head filling machine


Smurfit Kappa has launched a new high speed, triple head, automatic filling machine. The new machine is capable of filling up to 45 3L Bag-in-Box® containers per minute on its three state-of-the-art filling valves, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Designed for industrial plants, and optimised for efficiency and speed, the machine is the latest innovation in the industry-leading BIB 700 range and has an easy-to-use touch screen and ergonomic design.

Rigorous testing revealed the best Total Package Oxygen values after filling with separate nitrogen and vacuum systems, which is an important factor for the improved shelf-life Bag-in-Box® products offer, and a significant advantage for both customers and end users

The BIB 700 Triple Head includes supply, separation of bags, opening, vacuuming, filling, capping, packing and release.

Smurfit Kappa Group plc is one of the world's largest manufacturers of paper-based packaging products, with operations in Europe and the Americas.
