Brochure: Millennium 120 Tube Filling Machine

Marchesini Group's answer to tube filling requirements is the Millennium 120 made by Tonazzi Vasquali, with a dosing unit that can be removed in an easy, innovative way. Second in line after the successful Millennium version, this single-channel tube filling machine achieves speeds of 120 pieces/minute.

Designed for installation under a laminar flow hood, this machine features simultaneous installation of metal/hot air closing systems, resulting in maximum flexibility and modularity with fast size change-overs. The dosing unit is removable: all of the connectors for parts in contact with the product are Tri-Clamp and the whole unit (consisting of hopper, valve, piston and nozzle) can be extracted and easily transferred to the washing and sterilising area.
Size change-over adjustments are centralised, controlled by a servomotor and can be activated directly from the PC on the machine.
The tubes are conveyed on special self-centring holders. A movement controlled by a brushless motor lifts the tube holders towards the dosing nozzle, guaranteeing perfect filling from the bottom. This method prevents pockets of air from remaining in the tube, even with difficult products and at high speeds.
The machine has a balcony structure, allowing maximum accessibility for inspection of the drive units and from the operator side for cleaning and adjusting all units and components.
