New solutions from Melegari Technology for the milk sector
Melegari Technology, a longstanding Parma-based company that has been manufacturing machines for the bottling industry for over 50 years, is introducing a new range of filling monoblocks designed specifically for milk (fresh and ESL), with capacities ranging from 2,500 to 40,000 bph.
The monoblock consists of a sterilisation/rinsing turret, an ultraclean volumetric filler and a capping turret. The following are some of its characteristics.
Sterilisation/rinsing turret
- Product contact parts made of AISI 316 SS;
- bottle sterilisation with hot air-activated hydrogen peroxide or ozonated water;
- system installed in a microbiological isolator equipped with an electric extractor;
- C.O.P. devices to wash all parts in contact with the mouth and neck of the bottle and the machine base.
Ultraclean volumetric filler (model Voljet UC)
- Improved hygiene and product safety;
- no contact with the bottle to avoid cross-contamination;
- all product contact parts are made of AISI 316L SS;
- filling valve equipped with a volumetric flow meter;
- high filling accuracy (±0.5% of nominal volume);
- ease of use thanks to a touchscreen operator panel and minimal maintenance requirements;
- false bottles for CIP/SIP (with optional automatic insertion).
Capping turret
- I.E.S. or washable design;
- cap channel equipped with a tunnel for sterilisation using hot air-activated hydrogen peroxide, ozonated water or sterilising lamps (UV or pulsed light).
Since 2018 Melegari Technology has been part of the Promec group, another historic global bottling brand and a world leader in the design and supply of solutions for rinsing and sterilising all types of containers, including in the ultraclean and aseptic sectors, as well as in the filling of small and large containers (up to 30 l). The group also includes the subsidiary Blowtec, which specialises in the production of machines for blow moulding of plastic containers from preforms for small and large sizes.
