Compact filling system for retortable carton packages
Simplify your production of ready meals and soups with a space-saving machine that seamlessly integrates forming, filling, and sealing processes for up to 6,000 packages per hour.
Forms, Fills, and Seals Liquid Products
The Tetra Pak® R2 from Tetra Pak is a compact, integrated filling machine designed for the seamless production of retortable liquid-based products. This space-efficient solution integrates forming, filling, and sealing within a mere 60 m², reducing the need for extensive floor space. Key applications include sauces, soups, vegetables, ready meals, and pet food, addressing the demands of manufacturers in the food, beverage, and dairy industries.
With the ability to quickly switch between package volumes, the Tetra Pak R2 offers flexibility for producing a range of end products, from tomato ketchup to lasagna. Capable of processing up to 6,000 packages per hour, this machine supports continuous, high-speed operations, minimizing manual oversight through its advanced automation.
Operators benefit from an intuitive touch-screen interface for seamless control, while encased working parts ensure low noise levels. The use of induction sealing enhances the integrity of packaging through precise heat and pressure controls. Additionally, flat-packed carton blanks optimize packaging logistics, significantly reducing storage and distribution costs.
The Tetra Pak R2 is compatible with various filler types—pocket, piston, liquid, and weight—for expanding product options. This machine not only streamlines production but also supports efficiency improvements with PLMS data monitoring, ensuring sustained performance and optimal efficiency.
