Client Profile
Industry: Condiments & Food Processing Manufacturer
Location: France
Container Type: Glass Jars (6.5cm Diameter; 13cm Height, 3.8cm Neck)
Target Weight: 220g per jar
Key Features: Servo Piston Filling, Anti-Drip Nozzles, Automatic Capping, CIP Cleaning
The Challenge: Viscosity, Neck Contamination, and Hygiene Standards
Packaging thick tomato sauce into 220g glass jars presents strict technical and hygiene demands for European condiment producers:
High Viscosity & Slow Flow: Dense paste causes sluggish flow rates, bottlenecking overall line output.
Stringing & Neck Contamination: Sticky sauce easily forms long threads and drips around jar rims after filling. Neck residue degrades cap sealing integrity, risks vacuum leakage, and requires labor-intensive jar exterior washing.
Strict Dosing Accuracy (≤ ±1%): Viscosity variations often amplify volumetric errors on standard fillers. Food industry compliance requires tight weight tolerance within ±1% to ±2%.
Air Trapping & Microbial Spoilage: Acidic tomato paste requires absolute airtight seals. Loose caps allow oxygen entry, fostering microbial fermentation and gas bubbles during shelf life.
Sanitation & CIP Cleaning: Manual pump and pipe disassembly for daily washdowns is extremely time-consuming and risks cross-contamination.
To solve these challenges, Vican Packing engineered a fully automated glass jar bottling line tailored for high-viscosity food processing.
The Solution: Integrated Servo Piston Bottling & Sealing Line
Our customized sauce filling machine line features an end-to-end continuous packaging architecture:
1. Bottle Feeding Conveyor & 14-Head Rotary Inversion Washer
Smoothly feeds glass jars and flips them 180° for internal high-pressure air/water rinsing, ensuring sterile container interiors prior to dosing.
2. 10-Head Servo Piston Viscous Liquid Filler
Driven by precision servo motors, this viscous liquid filling packaging machine achieves tight weight accuracy within ±1%. Speeds are digitally adjustable on the HMI.
3. Anti-Drip & Anti-Stringing Nozzle System
Specially engineered cutoff nozzles instantly shear sticky tomato paste at the end of each stroke, keeping jar rims completely clean for flawless cap sealing.
4. Fully Automatic 4-Head Rotary Gripper Capper
Applies precise, consistent sealing torque to metal lug caps. Guarantees hermetic airtight closure to eliminate oxygen ingress, vacuum loss, and microbial spoilage.
5. Integrated CIP (Clean-in-Place) Sanitation System
Automatically flushes and sanitizes all product contact parts (hopper, piston cylinders, nozzles, and hoses) without machine teardown, cutting daily washdown labor and downtime by over 60%.
6. Jar Inversion & Buffering Collection Table
Flips capped jars to ensure seal integrity before downstream labeling and outer carton packing.
Client Review & Testimonial
"Vicanpacking’s servo piston filler directly resolved our biggest bottlenecks—filling accuracy, neck stringing, and long washdown times. The anti-drip nozzles keep jar rims spotless, ensuring 100% airtight capping with zero seal leaks. Their integrated CIP system has revolutionized our daily sanitation efficiency, saving us hours of manual labor during product changeovers!"
