Graham Packaging Corporation is well know as one of the biggest converter in dairy and food products, with more than one hundred plants worldwide, 20 billions bottles produced every year and a turnover of 3 billion Euro. The acquisition of Techne EBM machines manufacturer in 2011 has joined the experience, technical know-how and excellence of two of the major companies on the market with fruitful results.
TECHNE is a consolidated partner of all main dairy companies all over the world. One of the application that made these collaborations a success is the aseptic blowing technology, which is part of its history as the first unit was launched in Italy in 1992. Since then, a lot of complete lines have been supplied and the process is more than reliable and co
nsolidated. It consists of a sophisticated implant which filters the blowing air and sterilize the complete pipe circuit, using only steam agent.
The main advantage of this technology is the complete absence of any chemical agent used during the process and therefore any eventual residual of liquid into the bottle (azote peroxide) and as a consequence, it eliminates the risk of having some taste alteration of the final product after the filling process.
The bottle coming out from the machine is perfectly sealed and it is opened only at the internal of the aseptic filling machine, after it has been sterilized on the outside part and just before the filling process.
Last generation aseptic full electric machines are jewels of technology, with 3 or 6 layers extrusion heads and capability to produce 1L UHT milk bottles up to 9.000 units per hour.
TECHNE ADV-700 combines high production to high technology. Its presence on the market since 2007 makes it one of the most reliable and advanced model available. With its double and four shuttle configurations, it is the perfect match for the end users and converters who look for a machine with medium to high production capacities. Its 700 mm stroke allows to produce containers from 60 ml (neck to neck) to 10L up to 6 layers.
Full electric systems offer great advantages in terms of electric consumption and ordinary maintenance. It is proven that the average saving related to the machine consumption is around 35% compared to
hydraulic units. The kWh per kg of plastic extruded drops from 0,45 to 0,31 in monolayer configuration and
from 0,48 to 0,33 with the multilayer.
The absence of any hydraulic system warrantees a clean production environment, a reduction of the overall noise and lower cooling needs of the machine as there is no hydraulic station (35%). It eliminates the problem of draining the used oil every 6.000 hours, reducing the ecologic impact on the environment. Finally, it increases the safety for operators, with no risk of accident due to unexpected movements while doors are opened, spite all safety systems present in the hydraulic machines.
On top of ADV machine, the range include a full integrated combi unit (UNIKA), available in double or four
shuttle configuration for blowing, filling and capping and a new generation full electric machine (ADVT) for small / medium production capacities.
