Technology: FL UltraClean
The production processes that take place in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries usually require working areas totally clean and free of particles that may affect the products that are being manufactured. FL UltraClean is the ultrafiltered air impulsion module that satisfies the needs of the aforementioned industries, by achieving packaging processes, as well as working spaces, completely clean and particle-free by means of a laminar air flow sweeping that contains no microorganisms.
Formed by a stainless steel main frame, an air-impulsing group and two different types of air-filtering units, FL UltraClean is a totally-automatic module that features some important characteristics that are completely integrated in the machine’s automatization, such as: control by the main machine’s PLC, complete adjustment of the airflow speed, equalization of the fan units’ operation, alarm for clogging at the filtering units, screen to visualize all the processes’ parameters, interior lighting by light-emitting diodes (LED), etc. These devices make possible for FL UltraClean to reach a 99.995% efficiency on achieving a packaging process that is totally free of particles and pathogens.
Products packed by machines with FL UltraClean include yogurt, baby food, fruit sauces and preserves, mayonnaise and juice to name a few. The technology is ideal for any liquid, paste-like and powdered products since they usually are the most easily affected by contamination at the processing area.
Especially designed and developed by FLtècnics, FL UltraClean is a module totally integrated in the machine since, far from being a separate, external unit, it is an essential part in the design of the main machine and, thus, operates in full synchronism with it.
Laminar flow impulsion
Ultraclean systems are based on laminar flow impulsion (a sort of “curtain” of ultrafiltered air that allows achieving cleanroom conditions at the processing area, a particle-free environment with no microorganisms that may contaminate the product while processed).
- FLtecnics Design: The laminar flow impulsion is developed and directly integrated to FLtecnics machines. This way we get a much better integration on the overall machine and optimum performance and efficiency since we have total control over the process by means of the very same machine PLC. FLtecnics has real-time data of how things are working at each instant: the filtering units’ clogging state, the airflow speed and its pressure among other things. The fan units’ speed can be automatically adjusted to achieve the process values set on touch panel as needed.
- "Other Company's" Designs: Other company offer an Ultraclean system, but they get it from an external provider that adapts the system to their machines. There are two different PLC’s, one for their laminar flow unit and another for their machine, and they do not share information so their level of control is much lower.
Additional Products
The Kayat 601-T and 801-T Shrink Wrappers are continuous motion packaging machinery for the beverage, food and non-food industries. Designed to handle a wide range of products, they pack up to 60 to 80 packs per minute, respectively. These machines wrap pre-formed trays of product with shrink film. Bottom overlap seal technology is utilized for stronger and better product presentation. Printed, registered film handling can be selected as an option. The absence of seal bar provides the machine with very low maintenance, less downtime and minimum moving parts. Only one film roll is required. Both machines are equipped with a second film mandrel with a quick splice feature to ensure minimal down-time when changing film rolls. The PLC controlled servo-driven film cut, film feed and film wrap ensures perfect synchronization of machine components
The 801/802-TGS Shrink Wrappers are continuous motion packaging machines for the beverage, food and non-food industries. The 801/802-TGS can both collate and wrap multiple formats of product with shrink film. The Innopack 802-TGS Shrink Wrappers use bottom overlap seal technology providing better product presentation. Designed to handle a wide range of products, it can pack up to 80 packs per minute, un-stacked. It can stack and pack at 60 cases in and 30 cases out.
The Kayat PTF-28 is an intermittent motion wrap around tray/case packer for the beverage, food and non-food industries. Designed to handle a wide range of products, it packs up to 28 cases per minute, depending on the application.
The Kayat TP-50 Tray Packer is a single-lane continuous motion packaging machine for the beverage, food and non-food industries. It is especially modified to handle pre-packed container groups, as well as loose containers.
