Case study - Agros Nova   

Customer:                              Agros Nova, Poland
Container:                             250ml multi-layer PP
Output Requirement:          3600 containers/hour

Machine Type:
                    
FCS-Auto 3 head system in all stainless steel construction.  Machine built to food standards with wash-down protection and screw feed bottle transport system.

Technical Challenges: 
     
Product is hot-filled with liquid jam and has to be directly sealed before going through heat treatment process at 95 degrees Centigrade.  Product handling has to operate to prevent spilling contents or squashing softened plastic container after hot-filling.  New neck support system designed to clamp around thread of bottle since there is no transport ring on the neck.

The container has to be carefully handled to avoid spilling product or distorting the bottle and then neck-supported so sealing pressure is not transferred into the base of the bottle.  Seal strength had to be sufficient to withstand post-sealing processing.
