Column | IDM Double pulsed light high-performance UV(C) cup sterilisation with a guaranteed sterilisation rate of at least LOG 4 (photo: GRUNWALD) ent German institutions on the reference of Aspergillus niger DSM 1957. The Techical University of Munich Weihenstephan has also confirmed that GRUNWALD’s pre and main hoppers model EASYCLEAN fulfill EHEDG standards. The cups are put into the filler‘s magazine by the operator which has a capacity of 15 to 19 minutes production when running the filler at 25,000 cph. After destacking, cups enter immediately a laminar half-tunnel (HEPA filters, clean room class 5). A double pulsed light irradiation then takes care of sterilisation. Safe production – "foreign body protection" The tunnel was designed in a way that no foreign bodies may fall into the tubs. This was realised by a significant reduction of parts in cups‘ guiding and a number of other measures. Two pre and one main hopper, designed in GRUNWALD’s self-developed EASYCLEAN standard, are installed in the Foodliner 20.000 UC. To provide for product flexibility, GRUNWALD has positioned the filling nozzles on racks that slide out so that different nozzles may be used. This as operator-friendly as the retractable UV-C emitters‘ rack which allows for a replacement of the lamps within 10 minutes. The filled cups then enter a separate hygiene zone with laminar air flow where they are sealed with the separately sterilised lids (the lid magazine allows for a 2 hour operation) and inkjet coded before a slip lid or a Top Cup are applied. Before actually a slip lid or Top Cup is applied, the machine checks for cup tightness. An integrated packer puts the cups into carton trays. Change-over in 5 minutes The filler in the configuration IDM had a look at had two format panels with 75 and 95 mm in diameter. The change-over operation is fully automatic, a complete change-over of the whole machine including the integtrated packer takes 3 to 5 minutes and can be made even during intermediate cleaning. The start-up of the machine takes 10 minutes as only the sealing heads have to heat up.
