state-of-the-art, advanced technologies, in this regard, Grunwald
refer to their range of ultra-clean (UC) filling machines for filling
and closing cups and buckets.
At the beginning of 2019, Grunwald already made a clear
statement for sustainability, protection of their employees and
high environmental compatibility with their ultraclean (UC) hygiene
concept developed in-house.
The hub of this future-oriented technology is the pulsed light,
high-performance UV(C) sterilisation, which was verifiably certified
to be a guaranteed, reliable sterilisation process for Grunwald
machines by several independent German institutes.
This ultraclean (UC) hygiene concept guarantees a sterilisation
rate of at least LOG 4 with cups, buckets, Snap-on lids and lids
at fully cycle speeds. Thus, Grunwald offer an alternative for the
sterilisation of all packaging materials that does not pose a threat
to health and, in addition, meets all requirements for compliance
with maximum hygiene levels in the production of the dairy
and food industry and that works completely without the use of
peroxide.
Product safety
An important topic in times of increasing product recalls will be
product safety. In this regard, Grunwald offer further technical options
and design services which help to avoid technical risks and
increase production reliability and product safety.
X-ray equipment provided by the customer downstream of the
filling machine can be used to detect foreign bodies. Compared
to the trade, this is a substantial additional benefit to guarantee
safe food.
However, it will be even safer if foreign objects cannot get into
the product at all, as this has been secured by the logical and safe
design of Grunwald ultraclean (UC) machines for many years now.
Filling of milk substitutes with a "swirl" effect
One of the machines exhibiting at the Grunwald stand is a 4-lane
rotary-type cup filling machine GRUNWALD-ROTARY 20.000E.
This rotary-type filling machine shows that due to flexibility, quick
change-over times, and special dosing techniques for up-to-date
product presentations with liquid to pasty dairy and dairy substitute
products, can be created with a fruit bottom layer, stirred
multi-flavour and premium products ("multi-layer", "side-by-side",
"swirl", "topping"). These filling and finishing methods can create
great visual effects and help to inspire consumers to buy them.
To round off the product presentation and to give the product
the title "home-made", this machine concept includes a free space
for the provision of a mobile vibrating doser for garnishing dry
spices and herbs, with accurate finishing product losses. Product
losses and machine downtimes are reduced to a minimum. This
universal high-performance cup filling machine can handle several
cup sizes (Ø 75 mm, Ø 95 mm and various oval cups up to a height
of 145 mm).
