Automatic packaging machine for semi-dense food products in jars, designed for packaging yoghurt, sauces, jams and similar products. The Rotary 1500 is a compact and reliable machine for medium-sized production runs, with doses from 50 to 500 g, including fruit pieces, in plastic or paper jars. With a capacity of approximately 1500 jars/hour, it features an automatic double-handling destacker, a dosing unit and a discharge conveyor; size changeover takes just a few minutes.
Machine type
The Rotary 1500 is an automatic packaging machine for semi-dense foodstuff in jars: the packaging cycle runs without manual intervention and the operator simply supervises and controls production through the PLC.
It is suitable for packaging yoghurt, sauces, jams and similar products, in plastic or paper jars.
Being an automatic machine, it can be connected to the customer’s existing plant for loading the jars.
Features
The Rotary 1500 works in 4 stages, carried out in sequence within the same machine: container loading, dosing, capping and unloading.
Container loading
Jars are loaded automatically from the magazine through a dedicated double-handling destacker.
Dosing
Main product dosing ranges from 50 to 500 g, for a wide range of products, in plastic or paper jars; size changeover takes just a few minutes. Hourly capacity is approximately 1500 jars/hour (actual capacity depends on the characteristics of the product and packaging).
It also allows dosing of fruit pieces. The dosing unit is complete with a jar presence sensor, a product hopper and process valves.
Capping
The jar can be closed with a preformed heat-sealed lid and/or with a pressure plastic lid.
Application and closure are fully automatic.
Unloading
Jars are unloaded onto the dedicated conveyor belt.
Cleaning solutions
The Rotary 1500 has a complete cleaning and sterilisation system, with CIP and SIP.
CIP (cleaning in place): all parts in contact with food can be CIP-cleaned, and the recirculation system, of new design, ensures maximum simplicity and efficiency. The PLC has an automatic washing programme already installed, which can be modified according to the customer’s needs.
SIP (sterilisation in place): before production, the entire dosing system is sterilised with steam. The device is equipped with filters, pressure gauges, valves and everything needed for perfect sterilisation.
A washing tank for the parts in contact with the product is available as an option; it can be used as a small recirculation circuit or to connect the machine to the customer’s CIP.
Industry 4.0
The PLC is also available in a touch-screen version, which makes the entire machine Industry 4.0 certifiable.
High Clean
High Clean solutions are available as options for more hygienic packaging: a HEPA filter, which injects sterile air and creates a sanitised environment, and a UV-C lamp for sterilising the packaging materials.
Accessories and options available
- Date printer: expiry date and/or production batch stamped on the jar lid with an indelible-ink stamper;
- Minifiller for fruit puree, to obtain a “double-flavour” jar; suitable for very viscous products and/or products with pieces, product hopper included;
- UV-C lamp for sterilising the packaging materials;
- Washing tank for the parts in contact with the product, which can be used as a small recirculation circuit or for connection to the customer’s CIP;
- Rotating table in stainless steel for collecting filled jars;
- HEPA filter to inject sterile air and create a sanitised environment.
What is it suitable for?
The Rotary 1500 is recommended for small to medium-scale production, up to approximately 1500 jars per hour, in dairies and food companies that want to package yoghurt, sauces, jams and other semi-dense products in jars.
It is a compact, solid and easy-to-use machine, with size changeover in a few minutes.
