System F - Rear Three Quarter ZoomThe Adelphi Group has redesigned its range of filling equipment to meet the demanding needs of the food manufacturing industry. Using state-of-the-art technology and introducing all the technical improvements needed to make the new range of machines more hygienic, user friendly and higher-performing; Adelphi has responded to food manufacturers ongoing requirements for increased production output, lower operating costs and greater standards of hygiene with the launch of its System F range of innovative inline fillers.

Implementing machine design guidelines specific to the food manufacturing industry all processing modules were designed with hygiene in mind:

·          All surfaces of the closed box section machine frame are at least 15 degrees off horizontal eliminating any unwanted pooling of product and allowing the machine to be hosed down; there is also clear access under the machine body so a high level of cleanliness can be maintained
·          The product tank has internal angles of no less than 135 degrees to eliminate difficult to clean areas – the product tank can even be rotated rearwards by 90 degrees to allow easy access for cleaning at floor level by an operator
·          A quick release and quick strip pumping and filling system can be easily removed for thorough cleaning
·          The purging trough has open angled surfaces and no crevices
·          The filling zone is completely covered to minimise the risk of product contamination
·          The machines ‘up and over’ guarding offers unrestricted access to the filling zone with no ‘hidden’ areas
With hygiene being a primary focus for the food manufacturing industry, where the machine’s components are in direct contact with the product, hygienic design of your filling machine will add value to the overall product and will help keep machine downtime to a minimum.

Optimised Functionality

Along with hygienic design a key market trend in the food manufacturing industry in recent years has been flexibility. Flexibility is a term food manufacturers can use to specify the adaptability a machine has to run various products or containers which differ in size and shape. The improvements introduced with this new range of filling machines have allowed a reduction in both product and container change over times, with relative maximisation of production output.

The modular design of the quick strip and easy clean System F pumping and filling system means that downtime whilst carrying out a product change over is significantly reduced. All contact parts can be removed and replaced within 10 minutes, with no tools, and, if needed, contact parts can then be stripped to their component parts in just a further 5 minutes. The machines design is such that product change over’s can be achieved extremely quickly by simply exchanging used contact parts with a pre-sterilised set.

Container change over’s can be done in an instant and the System F range offers the option for this to be fully automated. The required fill volume can be pre-set by the recipe recall from the HMI touch screen and the ‘Y’ axis nozzle movement allows for quicker container change over adding to the machines productivity. Containers ranging in size from 100ml to 25 litres can be filled on one machine simply by interchanging the pumping module as required.

Offering the most innovative technology currently available on the market, new synchronised SERVO drive technology ensures consistency of fill volume with the ability to adjust the filling and nozzle speed and nozzle height quickly and efficiently.

All of these factors combine to save precious production time, and to maximise the output achieved.  In addition, energy saving drive systems ensure that System F delivers significant energy cost savings when compared to a similar pneumatically driven filling machine.  The machine could pay for itself in energy savings alone in less than six years.

System F will be on display to the public for the first time in Hall 4 at Interpack 2014.  The filler will take pride of place on Stand E39-10.
