Romaco Macofar LF 200 FD and FS high-speed liquid filling machines

Romaco has extended its Macofar LF 200 product family with two models for filling liquids into glass and plastic bottles at high speeds. The Macofar LF 200 FD and LF 200 FS series were developed for bottling pharmaceutical liquids. The LF 200 family comprises five different models for filling a variety of applications of almost any viscosity gently and efficiently.

The LF 200 FD is used for high-speed filling of pharmaceutical sprays, nose and ear drops as well as ophthalmics and syrups. It has a maximum output of 12,000 bottles per hour with a filling volume of up to 100 mL. Equipped with two closing stations, it is capable of handling a range of closure types including pipettes, dosing cups, spray pumps, plungers and screw caps.

The dual closure system is flexible and facilitates many different combinations. The bottles are filled continuously, speeding up the filling process. The movement of the swivelling dosing systems is synchronised with the bottle transport through the machine. The LF 200 FD is suitable for glass and plastic containers 16 to 80 mm in diameter and 35 to 200 mm in height with a filling volume of 0.5 to 500 mL. The transport system that transfers the packaging can be adjusted to different container dimensions quickly and easily.

The company’s FS machines are designed for applications with a single closure system such as pump, pilfer-proof, child-proof, screw or press-on caps. The LF 200 FS likewise fills the containers in a continuous process at a maximum rate of 12,000 bottles an hour. It is suitable for processing pharmaceutical liquids that are orally administered or applied to mucous membranes. Servo-controlled processes assure safe and reliable handling throughout the filling and closing operations.
