Customer: Lee Kum Kee Foods, Guangzhou - China
Date: February 2007
Container: 300ml multi-layer PET

Output Requirement: 3600 containers/hour
Machine Type: FCS-Auto 3 head system in all stainless steel construction, food grade build with wash-down capability. Incorporating screw-feeding of containers and an over-pressure cabinet with HEPA air filtration for clean sealing.
Technical Challenges: Product is hot-filled with liquid product and has to be directly sealed before further processing. 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. Machine had to incorporate automatic head-height adjustment for different sizes of bottles.
