German dairy cooperative Omira Oberland-Milchverwertung has brought a CFA 812 filling machine from SIG Combibloc into operation at its factory in Neuberg, near Frankfurt.
The machine can fill products in the CombiblocMidi and CombifitMidi carton packs, and its installations means that the format is now available in Germany for the first time. Various products in the MinusL brand – made especially for people suffering from lactose intolerance – are now offered in CombifitMidi 1,000ml with more formats planned.
The Omira group is an association of around 3,000 German dairy producers which processes around 1bn kilograms of milk per annum. It is now packaging various types of milk and lactose-free dairy products in a range of fat content grades in CombifitMidi 1,000 ml with CombiSwift screw cap from SIG Combibloc – an innovation on the German market.
The SIG Combibloc filling machine that has been installed at the Omira factory in Neuburg has an output of up to 12,000 carton packs per hour.
Omira business unit manager production and technology said: “We at the Omira group were impressed by the flexibility of the SIG Combibloc filling machines. We’re already able to bring out a wide range of products in the innovative CombifitMidi carton pack – more products are already planned. And we’ll also benefit from the format and volume flexibility of the CFA 812”.
