One head filling machine for drums, buckets, and bins

This is non-aseptic equipment, equipped with one head in line for filling one packaging at a time, mounted on a support structure and its complete flexible tube for the feeding of the product.

A list of packaging that can be used described below as follow:

Cylindrical Barrel having 200 liters capacity
Bins having 1,000 liters capacity
Plastic barrels having several capacities
Buckets having a range from 15 to 20 liters capacity

The equipment can be used for the filling of hot products (maximum 100ºC hot fill) or products for later freezing with the temperature near 0ºC.

Two versions available:

Automated where movements are performed through pneumatic system, controls the filling by independent magnetic flow meters for each head. The control panel is complete with PLC and HMI for visualization of process parameters, alarms and production data. The boom rise, such as the dosing system, is automated and the position sensors indicate the operating state of the equipment.
Manual, with automatic weight control.

Apis Flora - Concentrated Propolis Line

In 2019, we completed the delivery of a concentrated propolis production line through alcoholic extraction and subsequent vacuum evaporation. The process involves the propolis, initially in the form of wax from the apiary, being added to grain alcohol within a process tank specifically designed for this purpose. In the mixing tank, the product is kept constantly stirred, undergoing successive heating and cooling operations over many hours. After this period, the propolis will be diluted. The settled sediment is discarded, and the product is sent to the concentrator for alcohol evaporation and propolis concentration. The concentration pot facilitates vacuum evaporation, and the evaporated alcohol is recovered in an indirect condenser and sent back to the alcohol accumulation tank. The final product is pure and concentrated propolis. All equipment was constructed following safety standards for explosive atmospheres and ATEX certification. Currently, the line is in perfect operation, adding value to our customer.

Demerara – 1000 Multi-fruit line

Between 2020 and 2021, we successfully completed the delivery of a 1000 Multifruit processing line to Demerara, a company located in Guyana. This partnership marked a significant milestone in the regional fruit processing industry and deserves due recognition.
