The system offers optional HERRMANN ULTRASONIC top sealing for reliable, high-quality hermetic seal integrity.
The popularity of pre-made spouted pouches is increasing, particularly with the recent interest in refill applications whereby a spouted pouch is being used to refill plastic bottles multiple times to reduce plastic bottle consumption and waste. This refill strategy also builds the brand and creates brand loyalty, particularly with the new generation of consumers interested in environmental impact and sustainability. The FLX R8 250 CS Series system can accommodate various pouch fill volumes from 300 ml to 1000 ml, including pouches constructed of high-barrier laminated or mono-layer recyclable pouch materials.
The FLX R8 series utilizes an advanced PLC control system, user-friendly color HMI operator interface, and remote diagnostics. The system is manufactured to meet UL and CSA electrical codes and is available in full stainless steel washdown sanitary construction. The FLX R8 CS is custom-configured for various filling systems depending on product characteristics.
