Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.

The vertical screw conveyor by Bucher Unipektin is designed for the efficient transport of pome fruit, particularly to bridge large height differences between processing units. This conveyor system not only moves the fruit vertically but also utilizes a water sump at the base to clean and handle the fruit gently. The centrifugal force and slotted separators effectively remove water and dirt as the fruit ascends. With high-reliability and low-maintenance requirements, this conveyor is well-suited for continuous operation. The three-phase motor and V-belt drive ensure robust performance, and fresh water-cleaning can be added if necessary. Proximity switches secure the separators, requiring manual cleaning of grass and leaves periodically. Available in two models, it accommodates various capacity needs with up to 25 t/h for the 400 mm diameter model and up to 40 t/h for the 500 mm diameter model.

In citrus processing facilities, ensuring consistent fruit sizes is crucial for quality control and meeting market standards. Manual sizing is labor-intensive and prone to inaccuracies, leading to inefficiencies in the production line.
<h2>Efficiently sizes citrus fruits with precision rollers</h2>
The Citrus Sizer by Bucher Unipektin is designed for fast in-line sizing of citrus fruits using independent inclined rails and adjustable motorized rollers. The continuous rotation mechanism ensures each fruit is sized accurately. Fruits are transported on an inclined belt that supports them onto the independently calibrated rollers. It features a precise adjustment system for each calibration level, which is done electrically. The sizer includes a fruit receiving hopper at the input and a distributor. The calibration rollers and bearings are made of stainless steel, ensuring durability and hygiene. Available in configurations with 6, 8, or 10 calibration tracks, it can handle fruits ranging from 2 to 5 inches in size. The structure and contact parts are made entirely of stainless steel, and it operates with a power requirement of 5 kW to 8 kW.

In the pharmaceutical industry, the precise and contaminant-free filling and closing of cartridges is critical. Managing the insertion of plunger stoppers, accurate dosing of liquid products, and ensuring gentle transport are common challenges faced during cartridge processing.
<h2>Transport, dose, and seal cartridges efficiently</h2>
The KFM series by Bausch+Stroebel is designed for processing cartridges in pharmaceutical applications. Before filling, the plunger stoppers are inserted into the cartridges from below. The system employs rotary piston pumps for dosing but can also use peristaltic or time-pressure dosing systems. Cartridges are filled in two stages to maximize accuracy and are then sealed with crimp caps and rubber seals. A specialized transport system ensures that cartridges are handled individually and safely, minimizing the risk of damage. With an output range from 12,000 to 36,000 items per hour depending on the model, the KFM series provides high process reliability and optimal laminar air flow. Additional features include CIP/SIP-compatible components and options for gas-flushing stations. This system is suitable for a wide range of container sizes and heights, making it versatile for various production needs.

Consistent and precise cutting of bakery products is crucial for maintaining quality and presentation, especially in high-capacity production environments. Traditional cutting methods often lead to inconsistencies, affecting both product aesthetics and profitability.
<h2>Achieve uniform cuts with ultrasonic technology</h2>
The Ultrasonic Cutting Line by Bakon is designed for high-capacity cutting of both square and round cakes. Equipped with 12 ultrasonic blades, it ensures precise and clean cuts, reducing waste and maintaining product integrity. The infeed section uses sensors to correctly position the cakes, and the 12 cakes are transported simultaneously through the cutting process. The long outfeed section can seamlessly connect to a packing line, streamlining the workflow. Ideal for large-scale bakery operations, this line enhances efficiency and ensures consistent cutting quality.

In the production environment where bulk solid materials are frequently handled, maintaining cleanliness and minimizing material loss are critical. Traditional methods often struggle with issues like dusting and contamination during the transfer process, posing both operational and safety challenges.
<h2>Ensure dust-free transfer with scale decoupling</h2>
The Easy-to-Clean Dust-Tight Docking by AZO is designed to address the common issues encountered during the transfer of bulk solid materials to containers. This system creates a flexible, dust-tight connection between bulk solids containers and dosing units, achieving highly efficient decoupling between the scale and the dosing unit. Containers are sealed with a lid when transported and are only opened at the dosing station, preventing any smoke-out of fine dust during transit. The trickle guard slider and residual material aspiration mechanism enhance cleanliness, while the automatic lid handling ensures reduced contamination risk. Ideal for processes requiring high hygiene standards, this system simplifies material handling in applications ranging from food processing to pharmaceuticals.

In production environments where space is limited, but efficiency and reliability are crucial, transporting small packages such as flow packs, cartons, and bottles can pose a significant challenge. Proper elevation and accumulation of these packages are necessary to ensure smooth logistics and manufacturing processes.
<h2>Manage elevation and accumulation efficiently</h2>
The SpiralVeyor SVs-Series by AmbaFlex is designed to handle small primary packs and liquid containers in a compact form. This narrow belt spiral conveyor can accommodate up to six independent parallel belts, making it versatile for multiple functions like elevation, accumulation, and time delay. Known for its low friction and high performance with Triple-E technology, the SVs-Series is the most compact yet high-loadable option on the market. Suitable for various applications, it can handle secondary packages such as flow packs and cartons, as well as single file liquid handling including bottles, cans, and doypacks. Key specifications include belt widths ranging from 100 to 200 mm, load capacities up to 50 kg/m, and elevation capabilities up to 15m per drive.
