Innofill Can DVD Can Filler –Filling System in Hygienic Design

� All filling relevant functions integrated into one compact unit

� Quick and easy disassembly

� Media and pneumatic connections are automatically connected when the filling valve is mounted to the machine

� No pipes and cables in the hygienic area

� Automatic CIP cups




� Technology up to now:

� Movement of the centering bell from the sterile into the non-sterile area via a sliding seal

� Permanent water lubrication above the cans

� Water lubrication of the filling valve centering bell lifting roller


� Former version� Guiding of centering bell with

sliding seal

� Water lubrication of the sliding seal above the open cans

� Possibility of lubrication entering open cans

� New version� Guiding of the centering bell

with a PTFE bellow

� No water lubrication

� Integrated into the cleaning process

� Hygienically safe

Sliding seal PTFE bellow




� Bellow and internal centering bell guiding integrated into CIP process

� Tangentially positioned holes distribute the CIP media through the bellow


� One centering bell for various can end sizes

� Universal seal for can end type 200 to 206
