Dosing Filling Packing
GRUNWALD
GRUNWALD will show their new developments
in hall 6, stand D02 at interpack
on the basis of 3 exhibition machines.
These machines are technical innovations
uniting maximum flexibility and maximum
production speed.
This especially applies to the 8-lane cup
filler type FOODLINER UC (Ultraclean). According
to the manufacturer, a completely
new hygiene design for inline machines was
developed which meets maximum hygiene
requirements for ultraclean cup filling machines.
This machine is considered to be a
real alternative for an aseptic machine as this
hygiene solution does not use complex aseptic
technology and therefore no peroxide.
Various technology components guarantee
the optimum combination of assembly
groups, design know-how and innovative
technology. This results in a fluent master
plan for a very format flexible filling based on
the maximum possible hygiene standard and
a production speed of up to 50,000 cups/h.
Double-pulsed UV(C) high-performance radiators
guarantee a sterilization rate of at
least log4 for all standard cup sizes used by
the dairy industry, sometimes even
≥ log5, at the maximum production speed.
The pre-fillers and main fillers are in aseptic
design (EHEDG certified) and are in accordance
with guideline 89/392/EWG of the
EU as well as DIN EN 1762-2, ISO 14159 and
EHEDG guideline. The laminar cabin designed
as hygiene tunnel with clean room class 5
(Hepa filter EN ISO 14644) makes this hygiene
solution perfect.
Principal component of the master plan is
the newly designed hygiene area with maximum
possible reduction of parts.

and reliable hygiene concept (photo: GRUNWALD)
All drive components, all supply lines and almost
any assembly group from the cup storage
up to the final interface defined by the
customer are located outside the newly designed
hygiene area. Except for the filling nozzles
of the filling stations there are hardly any
parts in the hygiene area. The area where the
cups are still open does not contain any small
parts such as e.g. suspended screws. Thus
very high production reliability is guaranteed.
The exhibition machine ROTARY XL represents
the next generation of rotary-type
bucket filling machines. It is a high-performance
bucket filler which is independent of
formats and needs almost no change parts.
When developing this machine solution the
focus was set on the further reduction of
space and standstill times, increased flexibility
and even more convenience. The frame dimensions
of 2,200 x 2,200 mm are sufficient in order
to mount the stations bucket setter, bucket
control, steam peroxide sterilization, weigh-cell
controlled filling station, cutting/sealing station
for peelable film, UV sterilization for the sealing
film as well as stations for leak test control and
snap-on lids. For mounting these stations on
a linear machine a length of at least 6 metres
would be required. State-of-the art technology
reduces the changeover time by approx. 70 %
compared to inline machines and allows for an
increase of the production speed by up to 25
%, depending on the product.
The changeover of the complete machine
can be carried out within only 3 minutes.
The change of the packing materials is also
considerably facilitated due the technology
used. The operator only has to exchange the
buckets. The bucket magazine is automatically
adapted to the new cup size by the push
of a button. The cup slats which were developed
especially for this machine are suitable
for several packing material dimensions. The
existing technical knowhow, the experiences
with regard to the coaction of machine
technology and nature of packing material
and sealing film allow for the closing of the
buckets with peelable film from the reel. This
is a further user-friendly innovation.
