These options can be implemented on Fogg fillers for either hot or cold fill applications. Fogg Filler offers three different wash systems to easily and effectively clean filling machinery. The first is the enclosure wash. The cleaning solution sprays from the top of the enclosure, sanitising the walls and everything in them. It is a great choice to keep the enclosure wet for easier, occasional light hand cleaning. This system conserves water, the process completes in about a minute. The second wash down option is the ultra-wash: This wash system allows a more targeted flow customisable to the machine to hit the most difficult areas. This option takes about three times as long as the enclosure wash because there are three zones spread through the top, middle, and bottom of the machine. There is an enhanced option for the ultra-wash that allows the user to sanitise with foam (caustic, rinse, and acid sanitiser). The foam sanitising option allows for a more consistent level of cleaning. It is computer controlled and reduces the manual cleaning requirements. Additionally there will be a foam box and the foam pumping unit to complete this system. www.foggfiller.com 38mm closure for aseptic applications To respond to increasing demand for higher performance and convenience in the beverage industry, RPC Obrist Madrid has launched a new 38mm closure specifically developed to be compatible with aseptic filling lines. Aseptic filling processes are becoming increasingly important to brand owners in order to eliminate product contamination. RPC Obrist Madrid has therefore expanded its standard range of 38mm closures with a new 3-thread aseptic cap, which is claimed to be ideal for a wide range of drinks including juices, nectars, teas, sport drinks, and dairy products. The new consumer and sterilisation-friendly screw cap has been designed for wide mouth bottles. As well as being easy to apply on the filling lines and open by consumers thanks to its reduced torques, the closure also meets the rigorous requirements of aseptic applications. In addition, the cap weight has been reduced to 2.80g while still providing good sealing and safety performance for product integrity, quality and freshness. The new RPC Obrist Madrid 38mm cap is produced in Spain for the European and African markets. www.gcs.com www.rpc-group.com W W W . I N T R A V I S .
