APV recently redesigned and launched the fully automatic Butter Bulk Packer, type FMG. This butter packaging equipment focuses on the market need for flexible operation, with its ability to fill simultaneously into different size cartons at various rates. Additionally, the FMG Butter Bulk Packer boasts an extremely accurate weighing capability, so that the filling operation is consistently maintained close to the set-points to eliminate unnecessary over-filling. These new advantages, together with ease of operation, are contributing to the success of this equipment, which has already been installed in Holland, America, Australia and South Korea with a number of other projects in the pipeline.
The new butter packer is combined into one common stainless steel frame, the two filling stations provide highly flexible operation. Each filling head is equipped with an internal valve, which closes when filling is completed, thus avoiding waste. The newly designed stainless steel carton former with minimal moving parts reduces wear and the need for replacement parts.
