RINSER FILLER CAPPER

A STRONG SOLUTION FOR A CHANGING WORLD

SEPPA has conceptualized the most Innovative methods for the growing demand of efficient bottle water packaging and complete line solutions. SEPPA's focus is on sustainable production of the RFC and consistency to create solutions for enhancing productivity, hygiene and line speed. SEPPA designs are driven towards maximum uptime and reduced cost of production. Due to the neck handling system SEPPA's RFC's Ability to handle different shapes and lower grammage of bottle is the most important feature for creating line Flexibility. This helps in launching new products designs and packaging types in the same line. The SEPPA EVATS - 1000 - RFC is the most advanced RFC for Small, medium and large scale bottling lines. Various products from water, Juice, Yoghurt, Milk, Beverage, alcohol, wine, sports drink and ice tea can be packaged in this RFC. Apart from this carbonated beverages as well as beer can be packaged in it. The RFC has variants which can handle hot fill (ie) products at 400C to 800C as well as cold fill (ie) products at 20C to 70C. Thus the RFC has flexibility in filling products of 00C to 800C.
