ITCM is a global manufacturer and leading innovator in customised machinery and systems for pharmaceutical packaging and processing.

 

New patented aseptic filling technology from JBT FoodTech is specifically designed to fill pouches without the need for a spout.

Named the SPACE - spout-less, pouch, automatic, compact, ecological - aseptic filler, this new breed of technology was built to improve flexibility for processors that fill a wide range of pouch sizes for the foodservice market.

The opening of the pouch is 2-ins (6cm) wide, which means processors, can fill products with pieces or particulates more quickly and potentially at a lower cost.

The SPACE is, says JBT FoodTech, a suitable unit for functional food products and speciality juices. The pouches, once they are filled, are then ultrasonically sealed to ensure maximise the sterility.

The compact-sized filler can accommodate pouch sizes that range from 3kg to 10kg (22 pounds) and from 3L (6 pints) to 10L (21 pints).
