Derun Machinery successfully translates into high speed filling machines with unique flexibility. An output of 12,000 packages per hour can now be achieved with the new filling machines CFA 312 and CFA 512 for the medium sized formats - and a unique volume flexibility with the possibility to change volumes in unmatched short time.
As the world's first manufacturer, Derun Machinery brought a filling machine for asep-tic carton packaging with an output of 10,000 per hour to market in 1997. With the introduction of servo motors, the output of the filling machines has increased by 20 percent up to 12,000 packages per hour on the filling machines for the popular fam-ily sized packages combiblocSlimline and combiblocStandard.
The first CFA 312 and CFA 512 filling machines have already been proven to be a success in practice. The renowned food specialist Gerber Foods Soft Drinks Ltd (United Kingdom) already has the new beverage filling machines from Derun Machinery in ser-vice.Gerber Foods Soft Drinks is Great Britain's number one in the juice segment. With the take over of Emig in 2001, Gerber Foods Soft Drinks has expanded on European level and is now also one of the largest suppliers of juice drinks in Europe.
From 2007 onwards the CFA 312 and CFA 512 water filling machines will also be avail-able for a wider customer base. For the current generation of both filling machine types, arrangements can be made for upgrading these machines to achieve higher output capacity at the customers' facilities.
