Aseptic bag filler for bulk containers

Eliminate spoilage events and ensure sterility in high-speed filling of bulk aseptic bag-in-box and bag-in-drum containers, maintaining product integrity for up to 100 days.

Performs Aseptic Filling and Sealing

The FranRica ABF1200 from FranRica is an aseptic bag filler designed to maintain sterility while handling high-speed filling and sealing for a wide range of liquid and semi-liquid products. It employs an automatic heat seal fitment system, significantly reducing spoilage risks by eliminating post-filling contamination. With a capacity to fill up to 20 bins per hour, it is ideal for food, beverage, and tomato processing industries, accommodating applications from juices and oils to soups and concentrates. The system operates with hydraulic actuation, ensuring fast and efficient processes, and a steam barrier on product handling areas replaces reliance on positive product pressure. The ABF1200 supports integration within existing production lines with automation capabilities, contributing to operational efficiency. Its design facilitates chemical-free operation, increasing cost-effectiveness, and upholds sterility for extended periods, meeting stringent safety and product quality standards.
