Rotary volumetric filler for still drinks
Optimize your bottling line with a versatile rotary volumetric filler, designed to prevent product loss while ensuring precise filling and stringent hygiene standards for still beverage applications.
Fills and Transports Still Drinks Efficiently
The Fillstar LXf from GEA is a rotary volumetric filler designed for high-speed, hygienic filling of still drinks into plastic bottles. Featuring electronically controlled filling valves with non-contact operation, it ensures precise dispensing and minimizes product wastage. Ideal for beverages, foods, and pharmaceuticals, it handles products like juices, iced teas, and electrolyte solutions.
The Fillstar LXf utilizes a magnetic-inductive flowmeter and membrane pneumatic valves for controlled product flow, offering seamless integration into your production line. The machine supports bottle transport via free-standing neck-handling starwheels powered by brushless motors, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
This filler is engineered for cleanliness, with dummy bottles for effective sanitization and an air filtering unit for capper hygiene. It is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. The Fillstar LXf promises reliable performance with automatic filling processes for demanding production environments.
