Cleaning & service
Inspect valves, nozzles, product manifolds and change parts; verify disassembly and cleaning after the most difficult sauce.
Processing equipment / Pack
Match the dose path and closure system to the sauce and selected package.
What it does
Product supply, dosing units, container handling and closure equipment are specified around the actual pack, nozzle and sauce.
Confirm opening dimensions, largest particles, stringing, foam and fill temperature. Smooth and chunky products can require different dosing paths.
A change of package can require more than a nozzle change. A standard hot filler is not an aseptic system.
| Selection parameter | Information to establish |
|---|---|
| Pack | Drawing, opening, closure and fill mass |
| Sauce | Particle size, viscosity, foam and temperature |
| Acceptance | Dose and closure checks at a stated output |
Inspect valves, nozzles, product manifolds and change parts; verify disassembly and cleaning after the most difficult sauce.
Match upstream buffer and pump controls, container feed, closure supply, inspection, coding and any cooling route.
Measure dose variation, piece distribution, drips, closure condition and changeover time with supplied package samples.
