Filling & Filling Equipment
Gualapack filling equipment has been in use for over 18 years, and uses state-of-the-art PLC and Servo motion control technologies. This equipment has been designed specifically to support our packaging and as such, is not sold for use with competitor packaging. The equipment can be designed with different straw sizes and cap configurations to meet your specific requirements.
With entry level equipment operation at 40 pouches/minute, our customers can enter the market in stages. As your business grows, we have the equipment and capacity to meet your increased requirements with capacities up to 200 pouches/min.
Our equipment is routinely used for refrigerated, frozen, retorted or even UHT filling. The equipment is engineered to handle a wide range of viscosities and production is easily switched from package style and size.
Filling Equipment
CHP40
CHP40 – A FILLING HEAD
The THEORETICAL SPEED is 40 ITEMS/min.
CHP40-3 is a filling machine for medium/low productions, made up by a rotating board on which the bags are filled and closed. The machined is equipped with a loader which can contain up to 150 bags; the filling machine is designed for filling bags of different capacities with liquid or creamy products (from 40 ml to 1,000 ml) and can be customized for every product and according to the clients’ needs. The production rate can be adjusted from 25% to 100% of the maximum speed, by adjusting the working speed of the doser pump.
CHP40-3 is made up by:
- 1 bags loader;
- 1 rotating board;
- 1 product tank;
- 1 doser pneumatic pump;
- 1 filling valve;
- 1 stoppers feeder;
- 1 screwer;
- 1 outlet belt;
CHP2H
CHP2H – TWO FILLING HEADS
The THEORETICAL SPEED varies from 65 ITEMS/min to 88 ITEMS/min.
CHP2H is a filling machine for medium/low productions, made up by a rotating board on which the bags are filled and closed. The filling machine is equipped with two loaders which can contain up to about 950 bags. The filling machine is designed for filling bags of different capacities with liquid or creamy products (from 40ml to 500ml NewCheerpack, from 40ml to 250ml. Stand Up Pouches with Spout) and can be customized for every type of product (for example, fruit juice, compote and yoghourt) and according to the clients’ needs. The production rate can be adjusted from 25% to 100% of the maximum speed, by adjusting the working speed of the doser pump and the rotating speed of the board.
CHP2H is made up by
- 1 bags loader;
- 1 rotating board;
- 1 product tank;
- 2 doser pumps;
- 2 filling valves;
- 1 circular vibrator for stoppers;
- 2 screwers;
- 1 bags outlet belt
CHP6H
CHP6H – SIX FILLING HEADS
The THEORETICAL SPEED is 180 ITEMS/min.
CHP6H is a filling machine for high production, made up by a linear chain transporting the bags on two parallel lines under the filling heads and the screwers. The machine is equipped with two parallel bags loaders, which can contain up to 1,900 bags simultaneously. CHP6H is designed for filling bags of different capacities with liquid or creamy products, from 40 ml to 500 ml. It can be customized for particular products and to meet the clients’ needs. Its speed can vary from 25% to 100% of its maximum speed percentage, by adjusting the device for the machine handling.
CHP6H is made up by:
- 2 bags loaders;
- 2 rotating boards for printing;
- 1- 2 product tanks;
- 6 pneumatic pumps;
- 6 filling valves;
- 2 circular vibrators for stoppers;
- 6 electronic screwers;
- 2 outlet belts
Specific treatments
Gualapack’s line of filling machines allows using the more suitable processes for each type of product. The simple cold filling process can be used for short-life dairy products with acid PH. The machine’s design, the CIP’s efficiency and the packaging quality ensure a high level of reliability. The evolution of this process is the new Ultra Clean technology, which adds specific elements, filling with laminar flow and UC filling valve, and offers a much higher safety as far as prevention and product contamination are concerned. The warm filling and product pasteurization process for the filled product allows processing long –life fruit and vegetable – based products. The peculiar filling technology, which ensures the presence of small oxygen quantities in the packaging, together with the careful design of the pasteurization equipment, make this technology both safe and reliable, with a complete control over the process parameters. Thanks to the ongoing research regarding the packaging materials, a retorting technology is now available. The Gualapack machines can fill the container with Ph neutral milk-based products; these are subsequently sterilized in an autoclave, in order to obtain a long-life, shelf stable product.
