proceeds
GRUNWALD ultraclean (UC) hygiene design with
advanced functions
Machine manufacturers are
no longer typical "suppliers",
but partners for the
dairy and food industry
and thus have the duty as
well as the responsibility to ensure, through
the use of modern, advanced technologies,
that the highest quality, food safety and
hygiene standards are met with their filling
lines. How this is implemented is demonstrated
by the further developed machine
generation of the GRUNWALD ultraclean
inline machines for filling and packing cups.
Based on the previous GRUNWALD ultraclean
technology, the development processes
at GRUNWALD have been consistently
advanced in the past few years. The ideas
resulting from this and their technical implementation
ultimately serve the productivity
of our customers. The further development
of the GRUNWALD ultraclean (UC) inline
machines resulted in the 10-lane GRUNWALD
FOODLINER 30.000UC – the latest
model of the ultraclean (UC) inline series.
Fully electronically monitored
filling and packing process
Fully-automatic monitoring systems are
are based on the ultraclean (UC) hygiene
design developed by GRUNWALD with
guaranteed sterilisation rates of at least
log 4. This monitoring technology extends
to product pipes, product transit pipes and
product containers.
Continuous monitoring of the CIP
cleaning and the cleaning of the dosing
system ensures that all parts and surfaces
in contact with the product are 100 %
sterile at the start of production. This is the
only way the cleaning in the dosing area
can meet the aseptic standard and is a further
quality feature for the GRUNWALD
ultraclean filling machines.
The optional camera system on the
10-lane inline machine GRUNWALDFOODLINER
30.000UC is another example
of safe and modern monitoring technology.
Each lane is monitored by a camera
and reports any error due to incorrect operation
or technical problems. The system
checks, for example, whether all seal lids
are placed in the correct pattern. It detects
any incorrectly sorted or damaged seal lid
just as reliably as an illegible or incorrectly
printed date. If an error occurs, the machine
stops so that the machine operator
has to react. As a result, only those cups
are delivered to the final consumer for
which can be guaranteed that they were
tightly sealed with the corresponding seal
