Holland, Michigan... Fogg Filler, a market leader in the design and manufacture of rotary filling systems for the liquids industry, is continually focused on improving technology that better serves our customers and the environment.  Fogg has designed and manufactured a new filler model, the F6.3 Series.  This new series was designed to perform with the accuracy and advantages of a F9 at the size and price of a much smaller model. 

Fogg’s F6.2 filler series is our most popular size filler we make because of its footprint and production capability.  But, Fogg is always focused on customer driven advancements and therefore the F6.3 Series was born.  This series is not designed to replace the F6.2 Series.  It was designed out of customer requests that have seen or experienced some of the advantageous features of or larger models such as the F8 and F9 Series.  

The main theme for the F6.3 is a precise, clean, and easy to maintain filler.  We have updated the bearings to be ceramic for greater longevity and placed an Accu-lift® system on it in place of the carousel.  The Accu-lift® system provides superior valve and bottle alignment.  The Accu-lift® maintenance and service points have been moved to the outside of the machine making maintenance a breeze.  The bowl has been updated to a forged ring design for greater thermal stability holding precise tolerances on the most demanding hot and cold fill applications.  

We will be selling the F6.2 and F6.3 Series together for a long time.  Your sales representative will be able to assist you in picking the model that best suits your needs.  Please note that the F6.3’s are not available with a glass package.  

Fogg’s proven technology helps lower operating costs and provides the highest level of reliability for your production lines.  Please consult a Fogg sales representative to discuss your particular application or for our full line of filling machines and accessories please contact our sales team at 616-786-FOGG or www.foggfiller.com.

36 filling valves and a 12 head Cap-N-Head capper.  Single tier machine guarding, clutches on the transfer and infeed stars, and a VSE-18 sorter if desired.  It is coupled with a 30 clamp FR4 Fogg Rinser as well (if desired).  

The filling system is approximately 3 years old and would be a great fit for filling wine.

Holland, Michigan... Fogg Filler, a market leader in the design and manufacture of rotary filling systems for the liquids industry, is continually focused on improving technology that better serves our customers and the environment.  Fogg’s new Sanitizer Skids will combine chemical blending, sterile water generation, and rinse recovery in one compact skid for multiple rinsers. 

The first thing the Sanitizer Skid is designed to do is blend chemical.  It will mix the chemical of your choice to the proper concentration.  Then it heats it to the prescribed temperature and maintains it as needed.  These actions are all controlled and operated by the PLC.  Using this feature will ensure that your rinsing/sanitizing system always maintains the proper pressure and allows for custom blending requirements. 

The second part of the skid is the Sterile Water Generation process which takes ambient, plant water and filters it through a series of filters.  The necessary pumps and valves are provided to meet your application needs.  You also have the option for direct steam injection where the temperature is controlled +/- 5°F to heat the water to your specified temperature.  

The chemical solution then travels to your rinser/rinsers to sanitize the bottles.  Then the chemical solution is returned back to the Rinse Recovery section of the Skid to be filtered and reused.  This dramatically reduces the environmental impact at the same time it lowers the manufacturers operating costs.  

A typical user shows results like this:

If your filler is running at 120 bpm and your rinser is running at 10-14 gpm you will use approximately 14,400-20,160 gallons of sanitizing fluid every 24 hours.  Without a Chemical Supply & Recovery System, it all goes down the drain.  With a Fogg Rinse Recovery System, you will only use 300 gallons of sanitizing fluid in 24 hours, nearly eliminating the waste of water and chemical!  That saves nearly 20,000 gallons of water per day and would fill up an Olympic sized swimming pool every four days of operation!  With these savings the system pays for itself in 60-90 days! 

You can integrate this Sanitizer Skid to any line or have the system built directly into your next project.  Each system will be customized to meet your sanitation needs.  Fogg’s proven technology helps lower operating costs and provides the highest level of reliability for your production lines.

The new Tri-Line® Quick Start valve offers technology so advanced that the speed of the equipment is only limited by the capability of the drive train and the capping technology.  This innovation increases fill speeds by as much as 500%.  The major speed gains are realized mostly with small bottles from 30 ml – 1 liter (1oz. – 32 oz.). 

Gravity filling has traditionally had a hesitation problem when filling smaller bottles.  With this valve there is immediate filling action to increase production speeds.  The applications are limitless for the Tri-Line® Quick Start valve.  From alcohol to drinking yogurt, you’ll see improvements.  

If your production demands have increased and you need to increase filling speeds, you can achieve this with a simple change of valves.  Please call for a quote today! 

Fogg’s proven filling technologies help lower operating costs and provide the highest level of reliability for your production lines.  For more information on Fogg’s new Tri-Line® Quick Start valves or for a full line of filling machines and accessories please contact the sales team at 616-786-FOGG or www.foggfiller.com.

Fogg Filler, a market leader in the design and manufacture of rotary filling systems for the liquids industry, is taking another step to extend your shelf life by offering a Chemical Microb-Blaster® for Bottles to create longer contact times in the interior of the bottle and sanitize the exterior of the bottle

With Fogg’s traditional rinsing methods you can choose to add a second turret to your rinser.  The first turret will rinse with chemical and the second with water for a very effective sanitizing process.  But, at high production speeds, sometimes there is not enough space or budget to add contact time to effectively reach desired log reductions.  That is why the Chemical Microb-Blaster® has been created. 

The Chemical Microb-Blaster® for Bottles is positioned immediately before the rinser to spray the exterior and interior of the bottles.  This process will also eliminate the worry of contaminates carrying through from the conveyor belt.  As the chemical drains off the exterior of the bottles, it drains through the conveyor belt for sanitation and caught in a trough below that is funneled back to the Rinse Recovery System.  All chemicals are reclaimed, filtered, and re-heated to the proper temperatures to ensure the proper concentrations on every bottle.

Fogg’s proven Extended Shelf Life (ESL) technologies help lower operating costs and provides the highest level of reliability for your production lines.  You can order it on your new Fogg Filler or upgrade your current line to ensure greater sanitation.

Fogg Filler, a market leader in the design and manufacture of rotary filling systems for the liquids industry, is taking another step to extend your shelf life by offering a Sanibar® system to periodically wash the non-product contact filling environment. 

As the benefits of this system have been realized, it has been increased to sanitize all aspects of the filling environment.  Now, the Sanibar® system also focuses on the change parts and capper, not just the filling bowl and valves.  This system allows for periodic sanitizing, between CIP cycles, of the exterior of the filling bowl and lid, valves, lifters, and change parts.  These sanitizing cycles are controlled from the filler’s touch screen.

Fogg’s proven Extended Shelf Life (ESL) technologies help lower operating costs and provides the highest level of reliability for your production lines.  You can order it on your new Fogg Filler or upgrade your current Sanibar® system to ensure greater sanitation.  For more information on the Sanibar® system or for a full line of filling machines and accessories please contact the sales team at 616-786-FOGG or www.foggfiller.com
