Complete bottling line for tomato ketchup with weight filler

One of the main markets of Intercaps Filling Systems are the Food Preserving Industry producing tomato concentrate, ketchup, salad dressing, various types of sauces, various types of solids, vegetables with oil, pickles, mayonnaise, marmalade, jams, jellies, honey, fruit juices.

Our Italian subsidiary has recently completed in France the installation of two complete lines for the packaging of ketchup and of sauces with hot filling and weight filling combined in a single unit.

Weight Filler for Ketchup and Sauces The ketchup line is for HDPE squeeze bottles and runs at 18,000 bph on 560 grs jars.

The glass line is for jars for tomato based sauces from 180 grs to 1 kilo and runs also at 18,000 jph.

The special filling machines were designed on purpose for minimising product overfill ( the precision is of 1 gramme +/- on a kilo of product or unit filled) , in order to minimise recycling of product and avoiding over-heating.

Pasteurising Unit In order to achieve this last point the filler is in tankless version with a spider web of piping leading directly to the filling valves.

Also supplied was the tube in tube pasteurising unit for the product prior to filling.

A pasterusing/cooler tunnel and a pressure sensitive labellers, shrink wrapper with tray running at 35-40 packs per minute as well as all the accumulations of the lines was supplied . Two automatic palletisers complete the installations

The 4-in-1 monoblock, at only 3 x 2 metres of footprint, incorporates: labeller, rinser, filler and capper - all in a single unit Automatic loading - unloading of the bottles can be added.

The second novelty presented is the new Keg rinser-fillers single or double head from COMAC of Italy, a leading international producer of top quality keg filling machines. Rinsing with steam or cold water and peracitic acid water rinsing and filling from the bottom up for foam free operations.

Double head fillers have rinsing and filling phases completely separated and use the most safe and clean filling and rinsing valves currently on the market.

Intercaps supply 16/16/4/4 monoblock to leading Scottish distillery

We are delighted to announce that a leading Scotch Whisky producer in Airdrie, Lanarkshire has ordered a complete bottling line from Intercaps Filling Systems, suitable for production speeds of 4000 bottles per hour and consisting of: a 16/16/4/4 monoblock, a 6 head capsuling machine, a 10 head 4 station multifunction labelling machine, a carton erector, a carton sealer and a complete conveyor system. This project is the cornerstone of this distiller’s current expansion, with the upgrade of their warehousing and blending facilities to incorporate a small flexible bottling facility.

Designed by the Intercaps Filling Systems’ engineers to meet the priority demand of Inver House Distillers for maximum flexibility and small production batches, the filler incorporates two capping turrets, both from Arol S.p.A. - one for T-shaped stopper corks with three different formats and one turret for metal ROPP and stelcap closures.

The labeller, from SACMI labelling, has two stations for self adhesive labels and two stations for wet glue labels, and can be upgraded to take a fifth station in future, if required.

A modern U shape horseshoe layout allows maximum efficiency in the movement of dry and wet goods.

Due to be installed at the end of March 2009, the new bottling plant supplied by Intercaps Filling Systems, will make it possible for this Scottish distillery to package their premium products, especially their premium single malt whiskies, which require small production batches and maximum planning flexibility. The Intercaps Filling Systems is capable of bottling of up to 13 differently shaped bottles, of applying up to 30 sizes of label, 5 differently shaped capsules and 5 different types of cork.
