Hot fillers

In addition to the existing Veloce filler based on mechanical filling valve technology, Sidel is rounding out its offering with Veloce FM, a filler with an electronic flowmeter filling valve.

Veloce FM offers accurate filling due to electronic flowmeters that measure the precise amount of product to be filled. Because the Veloce FM does not recirculate the product through the bottle, the system eliminates cross-contamination from the bottle into the filling valve. This feature ensures higher product quality.

Sidel’s hot fill portfolio includes three different machine configurations: wet (with water rinser), dry (without water rinser) and ultra-clean (with chemical bottle decontamination and an isolator-style hygienic chamber). This range has been designed specifically for filling sensitive beverages packaged in PET or glass and sold at ambient temperature. This includes products such as fruit juices and nectars, teas, isotonic drinks, flavoured waters and dairy-based beverages (in the ultra-clean configuration).

While the filling technologies of the Veloce and Veloce FM are different, they are built on the same simple and flexible platform consisting of a rinsing system (in the wet configuration), bottle handling, product supply and capping system.
