Mengibar MassFlow Filler-Capper Monoblock ATEX

The Mengibar MassFlow Filler-Capper flexible and stable filling technology from the EU is being introduced to Australia, with comprehensive technical support from Foodmach.

Mengibar specialises in filling and capping for explosive environments and works with FMCG brands to help them meet ATEX regulations. It is suitable for difficult-to-fill products such as highly viscose, high-foaming, swirl-fill, hot, explosive, corrosive, abrasive or volatile liquids from low to high pH using its patented technology.

The solution is claimed to save between 8 to 10 tons of product loss per year using Mengibar’s scientifically accurate filling algorithms and dispensing technology.

Capping stations for screw-on caps and dosing pumps feature torque control using ‘hybrid magnetic clutches’ developed by Mengibar from a combination of ‘synchronous’ and ‘magnetic hysteresis’ principles in one single clutch. The improved accuracy helps to improve quality control.

Fast recipe-driven changeovers and even faster cleaning are designed to increase the user’s line efficiency by up to 20%. Thanks to the Mengibar 360° CIP drain pan that covers the entire filling area, cleaning and product priming are done with the filling stations opened simultaneously, generating a high flow at high pressure.

The MassFlow Filler-Capper can provide production rates of up to 30,000 bottles/h. When Foodmach installs a filler, it’s integrated for full Industry 4.0 connectivity.
