The machines and lines of the KFM series have been developed for processing cartridges. The machine concept provides scope for intermittent-motion rotary machines as well as continuous and intermittent-motion linear machines. Before filling, the plunger stoppers are inserted into the cartridges from below. The dosing station is designed to process liquid products using rotary piston pumps. However, it can also be equipped with alternative dosing technology such as peristaltic pumps or a time-pressure dosing system. The cartridges are filled to the brim in 2 stages by prefilling the cylindrical part of the cartridge, followed by final filling up to the top of the cartridge. The cartridges are then closed with crimp caps with a rubber seal.
Container transport without glass-to-glass contact
A special transport system transports the cartridges individually, safely and gently from the start to the end of the primary packaging process. This system ensures that the cartridges do not come into contact with one another at any time.
