Erca-Formseal's new FFS bottle processing technology

At the Emballage in Paris in November 2004, Erca-Formseal exhibited for the first time its three-in-one production line (FFS) for thermoforming bottles, filling and sealing. At Emballage two years ago, Erca-Formseal exhibited its prototype for a bottle thermoforming equipment for the first time. The product was designed to provide molding, filling, and sealing in one place for those who are currently buying and using preformed bottles. New solutions.

Its British agent XJL company Chris Robinson said: "This product is mainly composed of standardized components and control systems, and for the production of standard specifications. For special needs, users can use personalized tools to produce their own specifications or Bottle type, we can provide relevant downstream supporting equipment to ensure a complete set of integrated operating system. At present, the maximum bottle size can reach 330ml." According to Robinson, the machine in addition to the recognized molding, filling, sealing integrated production line material The advantages of low cost, and can effectively reduce the transportation and storage costs. All raw materials used in production, such as plastic trays, labels, etc., have obvious economic advantages compared to the traditional preform logistics system.

The device is also equipped with a roll-fed in-mold labeling system that can wrap paper labels around the side of the bottle. Bottleneck foil seals can also be used, and special caps can be fitted, as well as caps and foil seals. Aluminum foil is also transported by roll cutting. Plastics can achieve a good aseptic filling environment through the special structure setting and sterilization system during thermoforming.

The equipment shown at Emballage was used to produce 330ml bottles at a production rate of 12,000 bottles per hour. Today the device has formed a complete and fully automated production line. The equipment not only can complete the entire molding-filling-sealing process, but also has a special tray packaging machine and robotic device. If necessary, it can also be equipped with a labeling machine or other labeling equipment.
