Inline Cup Filler

The Principle Function:

The highly flexible and hygienic Inline Cup Filler, from the series AFIC, is solidly built and easy to operate.

This series is designed for a very high hygienic standard and provides filled and sealed products with a long shelf-life.

The AFR series is available with an output speed of between 3000 and 12,000 containers per hour, depending upon the product, volume, cup size, cup shape, and the head space inside of the filled container.

The stations are designed with high flexibility and all functions are fully servo driven, pneumatic driven, frequency-controlled motor driven, and controlled from the control panel.

The inline cup filler can be used for:

• Juices
• Milk
• Yogurt
• Ice cream
• Mayonnaise
• Ketchup
• Honey
• Jam
• Soft cheese
• Hummus
• Tahina
• Salad dressing and many similar products

Machine Frame

The highly hygienic machine frame is one of the most important parts of the filler. The machine table is built with a beveled surface for preventing standing wash water. If wash water is standing on the table and is not drained quickly and completely, microorganisms can grow in the water. These microorganisms can contaminate the product.

The table is fully welded to prevent penetration of cleaning water into the machine base (machine foot).

Door Covers

The door covers are made from tempered glass, adhered into a stainless steel frame. Glass cover doors can never be electrostatically charged like the polycarbonate doors. An electrostatic current allows unsterile dirt to cling to the door when opening.

When closing the doors, this unsterile dust will be shaken off the door and fall into the clean filling machine, contaminating the complete filling area.
