Paper and packaging company Smurfit Kappa has launched a new automatic Bag-in-Box filling machine, the BIB 700 Double Head.
The machine is a continuation of its BIB 700 range and has been developed for large industrial production facilities that are looking for efficiency, reliability, and high-quality filling.
Similar to the BIB 700, the new equipment sports the new generation filling valve.
With separate nitrogen and vacuum circuits, the equipment offers the best Total Package Oxygen pickup values.
These features ensure a better shelf life of the Bag-in-Box that brings greater value to the customers.
Smurfit stated that the BIB 700 Double Head is also equipped to fill up to 30 three litre Bag-in-Box products every minute at a high flow.
The clever design and construction of the machines help in increasing efficiency and reliability and is also said to be fully compliant with food contact regulations.
Smurfit Kappa Bag-in-Box filling machines manager Florent Neveu said: "When designing and building this machine, we wanted to make the industrial filling process as efficient and clean as possible.
"Therefore we focused on basic things: accurate filling to avoid wastage, easy maintenance and maximum hygiene. Together with improved shelf life and high performance, these benefits mean that our customers will be able to serve their customers with Bag-in-Box in the best possible way."
Apart from the new machine, the BIB 700 range comprises the BIB 700 Evolutive and the BIB 700 SUP machines.
Bag-in-Box is Smurfit Kappa's environment-friendly packaging solution containing 75% board and 25% plastic.
