Erca, the inventor of the form, fill and seal technology, enlarges its‘ machine portfolio and offers now also FS machines The first machine in the enlarged portfolio is the EFS-L, the recently developed new format flexible indexing platform for preformed cups. Utilising new technology enhances the available options and ease of operation and maintenance procedures. Modular in design with stainless steel construction and servo-operations it allows for flexibility with filling stations, pre-fill and post fill for wet or dry ingredients. The chainless solution for the cup transportation enables format flexibility and precision index positioning throughout the machine. Capable of filling cups up to a diameter of 130 mm, the FS machine is suitable for products such as yoghurt, fresh cheese, white cheese, single and multilayer desserts, aerated mousse products, deli salads, dips, hot filled sauces, soups, jams, fruit purees, sweet spread, pet food, etc. Key benefits of the EFS are the format flexibility (quick release, tool free), the chainless drive (no chain stretch, no regular adjustment, less cup cassettes), the modular design and construction, the recipe functionality, and its’ improved hygiene options (UVC, Pulse light, H2O2). The machine will be available in the hygiene levels: clean or ultra-clean. For more information please contact p +44 740 884 06 02 www.imadairyfood.com FDPP - www.fdpp.co.uk 11
