IMA Fillshape's aseptic pouch machine for Polmlek

The Poland dairy Polmlek fills low acid dairy products and desserts on an aseptic pouch machine from IMA Fillshape. The pouch filler Ermetika Aseptic EAS240 is a continuous motion rotary filler with a capacity of 240 pouches per minute. The machine works with premade pouches, spouts and caps.

The market for spouted pouches continues to grow rapidly. They are extremely easy for consumers to handle and manufacturers benefit from lower storage space compared e.g. with pre-formed cups. Polmlek was looking for a new packaging for the launch of its’ new low acid dairy products and desserts. IMA Fillshape is the only company worldwide able to supply the unique technology of a spouted pouch, aseptic, high speed rotary filling machine for high and low acid products.

These are the reasons why Poland's dairy company has chosen this consumer-friendly packaging for its new products. The pouch filler Ermetika Aseptic EAS240 is a continuous motion rotary filler with a capacity of 240 pouches per minute. The machine works with premade pouches, spouts and caps.

Spouted pouches are assembled at the welding carrousel and then sterilized internally and externally by means of VHP (Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide). Caps are sterilized by means of VHP and applied after the filling is complete. Filling and capping are performed in the sterile isolator area. The machine features dedicated skids for the VHP preparation and for the chemicals preparation for cleaning and sterilization cycles (CIP-COP and SIP-SOP).

The brand new dairy products Pomlek Homogenized cheese strawberry, Pomlek Prebiotic on strawberry and desserts such as Pomlek Nut and Chocolate milk dessert, Pomlek Poezja LUX Strawberry flavored dessert are filled into spouted pouches. The machine allows the customer to produce: ESL products (Extended Shelf Life) by cold distribution chain for a shelf life up to 60 days and products in Full Aseptic mode for High Acid and Low Acid products: for a shelf life at ambient temperature for 6-12 months.

The practical pouches are an ideal solution for offices, hotels, cafés, fast-food chains, trains and buses as well as on-the-go.

"We are very satisfied with this state-of-the art pouch machine", reported Monika Białobrzewska, Vice President Mazowiecka Spółka Mleczarska. "The inauguration of the new aseptic production line is a great milestone for Polmlek. The first spouted pouch aseptic rotary filler in Poland, gives us a step ahead to our competitors, introducing in the market brand new ESL and Aseptic (low acid) dairy products and desserts".
