The Rapak Model 1600 Aseptic Filler is a high-speed, single head, web fed, bag filler designed to fill irradiated bags under sterile conditions. It is available in two configurations. The 1620ESL for extended shelf life refrigerated dairy products and the 1680 for high acid shelf stable products.

The 1600 fillers have been proven to provide consistent sterile fills at major companies in the dairy, fruit juice and pharmaceutical industries.

The filler has an enclosed fill chamber that can be cleaned in place, sterilized and maintained sterile during filling operation. The bag is uncapped, filled and recapped inside the sterile chamber. All cleaning procedures are fully automatic. Critical temperature points are monitored during CIP, sterilizing and production. Alarms are displayed on the operator control panel.

The 1600 has an optional pre-sanitizing chamber to blast the spout and cap of each bag with steam and sterilant water immediately before the bag transfer into the sterile chamber.

Features:

  • Fills bags from 1 to 6 gallons with quick-change capability between a cap, tube or dispense valve. Tooling changes can be done without needing to re-sterilize the filler.
  • The fill chamber is designed for sterile operation. The chamber is sealed and the fill valve and capper are completely immersed during CIP and steam sterilization. The chamber is designed for temperatures up to 280 degrees F. This ensures all components in the chamber are sterile at the start of production.
  • Fully automatic CIP, sterilize and sanitize procedures reduce labor and preparation time prior to and during a production run.
  • An integrated product accumulator and magnetic flow meter provide fast accurate fills with Low Hydraulic shock.
  • A two axis servo drive system and high performance air valves provide up to 15% production increase and allow for fast size and tooling changes.
  • State of the art high-speed Allen Bradley PLC with color operator interface provides reliable easy to use controls.
  • The filler is manufactured to 3A standards and is approved and listed by 3A.
