SIG has announced it is expanding its Neo filling machine portfolio for aseptic cartons.
The two new additions are the SIG Neo XSlim 32 Aseptic for single-serve cartons and SIG Neo Midi 15 Aseptic for multi-serve cartons. Both are said to deliver speed and flexibility in compact machine footprints.
SIG Neo XSlim 32 Aseptic can fill 32,000 SIG XSlimBloc single-serve cartons per hour in nine different pack sizes, while SIG Neo Midi 15 Aseptic fills 15,000 SIG MidiBloc or SIG MidiFit squarish multi-serve cartons per hour, each in three different pack sizes.
“Many food & beverage producers have reached the physical limits of their existing plants,” said Christoph Wegener, chief markets officer at SIG. “SIG Neo filling machines deliver highest output per sqm in the industry and therefore add capacity to our customer’s factories and not buildings.”
SIG added that operators can switch between pack sizes and formats in less than 15 minutes without changing any machine parts.
Additional innovations and advancements include the SIG Neo HMI for intuitive operation and smart performance insights, and SIG Neo Shield for enhanced sterile airflow and shielding during bottom sealing and pre-folding.
“The latest additions to our SIG Neo platform demonstrate how innovation can translate directly into operational value,” added Gavin Steiner, chief technology officer. “By combining speed, flexibility, advanced digital capabilities and aseptic excellence, we have created filling solutions that not only increase productivity but also simplify day-to-day operations.”
