The world of packaging is thinking about HAMBA Flexline, a system in high demand for bottle filling in the beverage industry.

The performance of the bottle-filling version of the HAMBA Flexline equals that of its cup-filling cousin in every respect. International companies working in the beverage industry are now placing their faith in HAMBA’s new Flexline packaging technology as much as companies in the classic dairy industry learned to do decades earlier with the HAMBA cup fillers. Starting out with dairy based (speciality coffees, whey-based drinks, etc.) and probiotic drinks, HAMBA has successfully transitioned into the market for fruit and vegetable juices, and thus into the beverage industry as a whole.

The advantages offered by the HAMBA Flexline Bottle Filling and Sealing Machines are most impressive: An inline bottle filler that requires very little space, whilst simultaneously providing the highest possible degree of flexibility and a processing capacity of up to 60,000 bottles per hour (depending on the product and filling volume).

The machine is configured to include an integrated bottle descrambler along with an automatic inline bottle feeding system.

Capable of handling hot-filled beverages (up to 92°C), cold-filled liquids, or asepticly processed liquids – according to the customer’s specifications.

When it comes to the change-over times involved in switching to other bottle sizes, the Flexline fully lives up to its name: it remains flexible in every respect, resulting in a completely automated and speedy change-over to any one of a range of bottle formats.

Another key characteristic of the Flexline machine is the small amount of product waste during a change-over from one format to another.

Bottles are sealed in accordance with the customer’s specifications:

- sealing with round aluminium blanks.
- sealing with round aluminium blanks, plus an additional screw-on cap.
- screw-on cap.

Performance: ultra-clean and aseptic. In respect of aseptic processing, the linear, multi-lane filling process guarantees the highest possible degree of safety and cost-effectiveness for packaging the liguids.

In short, the technology used in the Flexline Bottle Filling and Closing Machine demonstrates a new dimension of flexibility in packaging beverages.
