A Venturi Vacuum system is an option on all our Fillers. This helps maintain good air levels and no drips after filling.
The Flexifill SA1 is designed to be a flexible non aseptic semi-automatic Bag-in-Box filler, capable of filling a wide range of shelf stable or extended life products. The machine has a high degree of flexibility and can handle all standard Bag-In-Box dispense valves, taps and all types of bags.
The fill table model can handle bags up to 20 litres, and up to 1000 litres with the aid of a manual fill tube.
The filler has as standard full CIP (clean in place) and SIP (sterilise in place) modes and can be steam sterilised. A turbine flowmeter is fitted as standard together with a vacuum system to provide optimum air level when filling.
Manufactured with 316 Stainless Steel product contact surfaces and 304 main frame these machines are built to a high standard and comply with CE marking requirements.
The SA1 is highly versatile machine and can be a part of many different filling line configurations including upstream case erection and downstream case closing.
Can be supplied with stainless steel gravity roller conveyor with length and height to suit loading into box.
A version designed specifically for filling the bag directly into the box is available, the Flexifill SA1D, as used in many dairies.
The bag is placed manually on the filling table and the gland is inserted into the jaws. The two hand start is then pressed and the bag is automatically de-capped.
The filling head automatically swings over to the open gland postion and lowers, this ensures a seal is made between the filling valve and the gland, filling of product is then started.
When the bag has filled to the pre-determined amount the filling valve is then raised automatically and the head swings away bringing the tap back to the empty gland position. It is then automatically re-inserted. The filled bag is then removed from the jaws.
Typical output filling at 4 litres/sec flow rate to the filler is:
3.5 to 4 x 10 litre bags/min.

Dispense fitments come in different formats – our non-powered and powered grippers allow us to handle standard or bespoke fitments and dispense valves.
To extend the shelf life of many products the filler can be fitted with an integrated steamset and steam cup. This allows the face of the filling valve to be steam flushed clean of product after every filling cycle.
A weighscale option is available which comes with integrated roller table. The weighscale is controlled using a digital weight indicator with keypad and graphic display unit, which has facilities for changing the shape and size of display characters.
A laminar airflow cabinet can be fitted around the filling valve to maintain a clean air environment whilst filling product.
Mass or magnetic flowmeter can be supplied as an option to the turbine flowmeter. The flowmeter will give a high degree of accuracy for a wide range of process conditions.
A hygienic 316L stainless steel centrifugal pump to provide optimum product flow rate during the filling cycle is available as an option. This is generally provided attached to the filler but can also be supplied as a standalone item.
