Gravity filling system for Pet bottles
Optimize your beverage production with an advanced gravity filling system, designed for precision and efficiency in handling a diverse range of non-carbonated liquids, ensuring seamless integration with existing lines and rapid changeovers.
Fills and Handles Non-Carbonated Beverage Bottles
The Stillfill Evo from SIPA is a gravity filling machine engineered for efficiency and versatility in the food and beverage industry. It excels in filling non-carbonated liquids such as mineral water, clear juices, and beverages with pulp and fiber, ensuring hygienic and precise bottle handling. The machine operates with a mechanical valve system featuring a “no bottle no fill” function, minimizing waste and maximizing throughput, handling between 4,800 to 60,000 bottles per hour depending on the product and bottle size.
The Stillfill Evo utilizes a neck-handling system requiring no adjustments for different bottle heights, and its modular design allows for integration into existing production lines, with options for a Sincro Bloc configuration to combine blowing, filling, and capping processes in one seamless operation. Constructed predominantly from AISI 316 stainless steel, it prioritizes hygiene and ease of sanitation with reduced changeover downtimes and no dynamic gaskets in contact with the product. Optional features like cap sterilization and a micro isolator enhance the machine’s hygiene standards, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers aiming to maintain high standards of product safety and quality.
