Also exhibiting at PACK Expo is IMA Dairy & Food USA. The company is showcasing its Erca EF 320L Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) machine at Booth S3547. The machine increases production relative to previous FFS equipment by IMA Dairy & Food, and has been used by companies that require ultra-clean hygienic operations. For example, France-based dairy manufacturer, Triballat, incorporates Class-10 laminar-flow systems or tunnels for sanitization. Using the EF 320L FFS Machine, Triballat was able to achieve Class 100 laminar flow over the lidding foil zone and machine inlet; the FFS machine also provides a UVC area for lidding foil and a bacteriological filter for the forming air. The EF 320L FFS machine has been credited with processing upwards of 20,000 cups per hour at 18 to 30 cycles per minute. It has a maximum forming depth of 100 mm, which is especially suitable for containers in the dairy industry, and is available in clean, ultra clean, and aseptic formats.
