Ecolean's filling machines for chilled solutions
Explore the benefits
High efficiency
Ecolean filling machines enable long production runs that outperform most conventional packaging systems.
No water consumption
Ecolean filling systems use no water during filling or ice water for cooling, which enables customers to use less fresh water in their operations. Water is only used during CIP and chamber cleaning.
Low labour intensity
-
No package forming at customer site.
-
Easily managed quality controls save time for the operator.
Less liquid food waste during production
The design of the Ecolean filling system and the limited number of quality controls needed minimise the wastage of your liquid food product during the filling process. This ensures lower operating costs and food waste.
Low energy use
Ecolean filling machines are designed with low energy consumption in mind. During production, the Ecolean filling machines EL1+ and EL2+ only use 1.7 kW per hour.
Flexible system for switching between packaging formats
Ecolean filling machines offer operational flexibility and low downtime when switching packaging sizes.
Switching to another packaging size only takes on average 10 minutes, depending on operator experience.
Ecolean filling machines also offer flexibility in terms of being able to fill several different packaging sizes with the same machine.
Compact design
The compact design of Ecolean filling machines ensures they take up less shop floor space. They also allow easy access to all machine functions and service points.

SnapQuick™ reclosing device optional
SnapQuick™
The innovative reclosing feature SnapQuick™ takes reclosure to the next level by being convenient and easy to use. Unlike many other reclosing alternatives, SnapQuick™ is lightweight and part of the package.
The SnapQuick™ reclosing feature is integrated into the package, without compromising functionality. Once the package is opened, it can be easily closed by simply folding and giving the top of the package a light pinch. SnapQuick™ is made from PET and adds less than 0.38 grams to the total package weight, which is substantially less than conventional reclosing devices such as screw caps. Just fold and snap!
SnapQuick™ is available for family-sized Ecolean® Air packages. The SnapQuick™ applicator modules, available for EL1+ filling machines, connect to the filling machine as an integrated part and are applied to the package prior to filling.
