Used bottling line SIG for milk and juice year 2023


Overview of the SIG bottling line for milk and juice


The used bottling line SIG for milk and juice year 2023 delivers a complete solution for aseptic packaging of liquid food products. Manufacturers designed it for high-speed production, reaching a capacity of 24,000 bottles per hour. Consequently, the line suits bottling operations for UHT milk and fruit juice. In 2023, manufacturers supplied all core machinery, except for a 2024 format kit. Therefore, this recent build ensures the line meets current industry standards and safety requirements.


SIG CFA 1224-37 filler and sterilization system


The SIG CFA 1224-37 filling machine serves as the core of the used bottling line SIG for milk and juice year 2023. Engineers designed this filler to handle sensitive liquids in sterile conditions. Moreover, the system includes a hydrogen peroxide supply unit from SIG, which sterilizes containers during the packaging process. The line has operated for 5,400 hours, and SIG’s technical team performed 4,000 hours of scheduled maintenance, ensuring mechanical reliability and hygienic integrity. As a result, the line maintains high uptime and minimizes production risk.


Auxiliary components for line balancing and accessory application


To optimize process flow, the Meurer buffer table balances upstream and downstream operations, ensuring consistent line speed and reducing downtime. In addition, the Geyssel straw applicator applies straws automatically to single-serve packaging formats. Engineers integrated these units to support flexible production layouts and packaging variants. For instance, these components are ideal for producers targeting school milk programs or portion-controlled juice formats.


Secondary packaging and end-of-line systems


The Meurer cardboard packer performs automatic secondary packaging into corrugated boxes. Technicians synchronized it with the filling and sealing units for seamless transfer. Furthermore, the SIG sterile air unit supplies and exhausts filtered air, maintaining aseptic conditions in critical zones of the production line. This is particularly important when operating under stringent food safety regulations. In this context, system reliability becomes essential for quality assurance.

Air treatment and steam generation units


Among the supporting systems, the Balance Air Equipments wet scrubber (2,500 CFM) treats exhaust air by neutralizing volatile substances generated during production. Consequently, the system helps meet environmental compliance standards. The steam generator (150 kg/h) from Forbes + NSK Engineers provides the necessary thermal energy for CIP cycles and sterilization. In this way, operators can maintain hygiene and system cleanliness efficiently. Additionally, these auxiliary units improve the overall sustainability and operational safety of the plant.


Additional format kit for production flexibility


In 2024, the supplier added a 65 ml – 1X100 format kit to increase the system’s versatility.
