Advanced Automation & Control Systems


The A3/Flex platform features OEM PLC-based control with a touchscreen HMI for recipe handling, alarms, and diagnostics. Motion control synchronizes forming, filling, and sealing cycles to maintain aseptic integrity and packaging quality at high speeds. Typical capabilities include:




Recipe management for UHT milk, juices, and beverage variants


Integrated process supervision and event/alarm logs


I/O provisions for upstream/downstream line devices


Recommended verification prior to start-up: PLC functions, valve actuation, pump performance, and seal integrity




Production Line Integration Capabilities


This aseptic carton filler integrates efficiently within a used bottling line or new beverage production layout:




Upstream: packaging material feed and sterilization modules as per OEM design


Downstream: conveyors to accumulation, straw/cap applicators, case packers, palletizers


Utilities/process: interfaces for CIP/SIP connection to plant systems, sterile air, water, and steam


Controls: standard digital/analog I/O and fieldbus-ready architecture depending on configuration




Ideal for second hand industrial packaging projects requiring aseptic carton formats and stable high-speed operation.
