lid and with seal lids which were correctly
and completely printed. Faulty cups are
automatically discharged.
Foreign body protection
Additional X-ray equipment installed by
the customer downstream of the filling
line can be used to search for foreign
body. However, it will be even safer if foreign
bodies cannot get into the product at
all, as it has been ensured for many years
by the logical and safe design of the Grunwald
ultraclean (UC) inline machines.
All UC machines are equipped with
a special hygiene zone over their entire
length. Our design engineers paid attention
to the greatest possible minimisation
of parts so that there are no small parts
such as suspended screws in the area of
the open cups and buckets. The risk of a
foreign body getting into the product in
this closed area and causing expensive recalls
is practically eliminated.
With the relocation of all safety-relevant
parts, production safety has also

been increased further. This means that all
drive components, all supply pipes and almost
every assembly group are consistently
located outside the hygiene zone. Due
to the minimisation of parts, the hygiene
zone is clearly visible, easily accessible and
therefore very easy to clean.
The utmost minimisation of parts has a
noticeable, positive effect on maintenance
and cleaning time and makes the machine
operator's work much easier. In addition,
downtimes are enormously reduced and
the availability of the system is increased.
Fully automatic cleaning of
the hygiene tunnel
In the new generation of GRUNWALD ultraclean
(UC) inline machines, an externally
provided foam cleaning system supports
the cleaning of the filling stations and the
slat conveyor and starts automatically at
the push of a button. For interior cleaning,
the foam cleaner can be used in an individual
and flexible way, depending on the customer‘
s preference and the filling product.
This system can also be used for individual,
manual cleaning of the machine.
A small dosage is sufficient to achieve
excellent cleaning power. Due to the low
dosage, the foam cleaner does not have
negative effects on either the machine operator
or the environment.
Innovation for filling nozzle
cleaning
In the hygiene zone of the recently
developed GRUNWALD-FOODLINER
30.000 UC, the filling nozzle area was revised.
The innovation developed represents
a real, important improvement for the
machine operator. Due to design optimisations,
the filling nozzles of the filling station
are also cleaned during the automatic
CIP cleaning of the hygiene zone while
being mounted. Both disassembly and
manual cleaning of the filling nozzles is no
longer necessary – a considerable saving
of time and a further optimisation for the
already safe GRUNWALD hygiene design.
