What do we do?
It is the commercial adaptation of the age old idea of a collapsible liquid carrier.
The principle is simple but effective.
By using an oxygen impermeable bag, and ensuring that all air is extracted from within the bag during the filling operation, the contents of the bag will remain in good condition irrespective of whether any of the liquid is withdrawn through the special dispenser. As the bag collapses when the contents are dispensed, an even flow is ensured so that no contents can be trapped in the folds of the bag. The outer container which holds the collapsible bag has an aperture through which the dispenser is positioned, this makes the whole package convenient, lightweight and secure.
What are the advantages?
The packer has the benefit of less warehouse space for packaging before filling, more flexibility in designing his filling area with individual machines, in-plant labelling is eliminated and there are distinct gains in load space and weight.
Its basic rectangular shape offers the ideal opportunity for bold graphics to enhance shelf appeal.
- Machines can be portable and flexible.
- No heavy lifting.
- It's mobile and accurate patching hence improved reliability.
Consumer advantages are apparent
In both domestic and catering packs, the design of the dispenser ensures that operation will be simple, secure and reliable. It allows the contents to pour smoothly and precisely at both ambient and chilled temperatures. The convenient handling, operation and storage of the cask (in a refrigerator if required) combine to give ideal bulk packaging wherever it is used.
For nearly forty years Flex Pack have designed, produced and supplied a range of liquid filling machines suitable for a wide selection of non-aerated liquids, in volumes from as little as 2 litre bags to 1000 litre IBC’s. The Bag in Box filling machines first came to prominence within the wine trade as long ago as the 1970’s but the inexorable march of progress now means that chemical liquid filling machines are just as widely used and thanks to Flex Pack, just as accessible as the ubiquitous wine bag filling machine.
The full range of liquid filling machines produced by Flex Pack includes manual and semi- auto fillers delivering exceptional reliability, highly accurate batch control, alongside flexibility and ease of operation. Smaller quantities of liquids are contained in oxygen impermeable bags that offer simple and effective use, protecting the integrity with long shelf life of the contents, even when some has been withdrawn and the outer containers are convenient, lightweight and very easy to store, whether in ambient or refrigerated conditions. For larger volumes a drum filling machine or IBC liquid filling equipment may be required and Flex Pack can provide the ideal solution for you – that can make a significant difference to your production times, increasing your line’s efficiency.
Our fillers offer a long service life, designed to operate reliably in wet wash down environments and are resistant to the corrosive effects of chemical cleaners. Whether you require a large-scale chemical liquid filling machine, a small B.I.B. filling machine or a commercial drum filling machine Flex Pack and their flexible approach to customer service will be sure to meet your needs.
