Any liquid product can be filled including CSD, still drinks, clear products and liquids with pulps and fibers. Fillstar CX offers excellent performances for aseptic filling of still liquids, thanks to the absence of contact between filling nozzle and the bottle neck when bottling still liquids, but it can be optimized for hygienic filling of carbonated liquids with contact between bottle and filling nozzle.

The volumetric counterpressure electronic filler Fillstar CX is based on the principle of the magnetic flow meter. Thanks to pneumatically controlled valves, filling cycle can be optimized for any product/container combination to obtain best filling performance or smallest footprint for the required speed.

Fillstar CX is available in a range of models from 60 to 140 filling valves for a production speed from 6.000 to 67.500 1.0 l bottles per hour when bottling still products and from 6.000 to 55.000 1.0 l. bottles per hour when bottling carbonated soft drinks.

Advantages

  • Complete neck handling system: any container with the same neck finish can be filled with fast changeover.
  • Product measure with magnetic flowmeters: product saving, can adapt to container with variations in shape.
  • Pneumatic valves: filling cycle can be optimised for any product/container combination to obtain best filling performance or smallest footprint for the required speed.
  • Easy tuning of filling cycle: difficult foaming products i.e. diet CSD can be filled at ambient temperature with no loss of speed: cost reduction (no product chilling).
  • Clean design: filler is easy to clean and “hygienically correct”.
