Complete Bottling Line for Tomato Ketchup

June 2009

One of the main markets of Intercaps Filling Systems is the Food Preserving Industry producing tomato concentrate, ketchup, salad dressing, various types of sauces, various types of solids, vegetables with oil, pickles, mayonnaise, marmalade, jams, jellies, honey and fruit juices.

Our Italian subsidiary has recently completed the installation of two complete lines for the packaging of ketchup and of sauces in France with hot filling and weight filling combined in a single unit.

The ketchup line is for HDPE squeeze bottles and runs at 18,000 bph on 560 grs jars. The glass line is for tomato based sauce jars from 180 grs to 1 kilo and runs also at 18,000 jph. The special filling machines were designed to minimising product overfill (the precision is of 1 gramme +/- on a kilo of product or unit filled), to minimise recycling and to avoid over-heating.

In order to achieve this the filler is a tankless version with a spider web of piping leading directly to the filling valves. The tube in tube pasteurising unit for the product was also supplied prior to filling. A pasteurising/ cooler and a pressure sensitive labellers, shrink wrapper with tray running at 35-40 packs per minute as well as all the accumulations of the lines were supplied. Two automatic palletisers complete the installation.
