SAPLI SPECIAL PURPOSE FILLING SOLUTIONS

Since 1978 Sapli counts with a wide experience in special projects, where individual customised engineering solutions had to be developed. An experience-based know-how of our professional team and cutting-edge innovations in filling technologies allow the global study of the project, taking into account all special needs of the Customers and the technical requirements of the product and packaging.

All projects start by the deep study of the product behaviour during the filling process. At the very first stage, the product and packaging samples are always tested at the Sapli pilot plant. The detailed preparation of the project guarantees the construction of the high efficient fully-automatic solution, ideally suited to the proposed product.

Multi format equipment options for different packaging and product combination can be individually tailored. The additional operation options as an integrated full checking and control of the filling process at every stage is also offered.

Some Sapli’s Filling System options:

• Multi-stage filling

• Intermediate vibration function

• Press-on and screw capping

• Tare and gross weighing

• Downstream weigh station

• Weight/cap quality control

• Coding and labelling stations

• Single operator loading/unloading

• Indexing turret

• Wire product cut-off system

• Rejection and return conveyor

• Artificial vision quality control

and much more, depending on the Customer’s special requirement.

Proprietary items for functions such as weighting systems, x-ray and labelling are sourced from recognised manufacturers and bought together and integrated with Sapli designed and manufactured filling and handling equipment.

Depending on the chemical composition and free-flowing features of the product, the filling system may require special additional operations in order to assure the optimal equipment performance. In such a way Sapli offers multi-stage filling options, tamping or vibration functions, as well as checkweighers and rejection stations. Regarding the containers with irregular or unstable shapes, Sapli offers special pucks and handling systems.

A single PLC and touch-screen panel bring all the individual elements together. Simple-to-use screens with specially drawn CAD graphics and digital images in full colour, control the various functions with all variable parameters programmed and held in memory for immediate recall.
