Semi-Automatic Bag-in-Box Filling Machine Without Pump

The semi-automatic Bag-in-Box filler without pump is designed for small wineries, olive oil producers, artisan food businesses and processing facilities looking for a programmable solution for filling flexible bags.

Recommended for operations producing fewer than approximately 5,000 Bag-in-Box units per year, the machine allows filling volumes to be programmed from 1 litre. An electromagnetic flow sensor and electronic control panel manage volume measurement and calibration, while the operator handles bag positioning and cap removal and insertion.

The standard configuration is supplied without a pump. The control system can manage an external pump, allowing the filling setup to be configured according to the product and production requirements.

The stainless steel construction includes an adjustable, removable support platform, stainless steel filling head and drip tray. The machine is also equipped for manual nitrogen injection into the bag.

Why choose this semi-automatic Bag-in-Box filling machine?

• Designed for small-scale production: suitable for businesses producing fewer than approximately 5,000 Bag-in-Box units annually.
• Programmable filling volumes: set the required quantity from 1 L using the electronic control panel.
• Electromagnetic flow measurement: integrated sensor and calibration functions for managing filling volumes.
• Automatic filling control: the control system manages the filling sequence and the start/stop operation of an external pump.
• Manual nitrogen injection provision: a pulser valve is included for introducing nitrogen into the bag.
• Flexible container handling: suitable for Bag-in-Box bags, compatible pouches and certain rigid containers.
• Stainless steel construction: filling head, support structure and drip tray designed for food-processing applications.
• Configurable equipment: optional accessories are available for oil, fruit juices, hot liquids and integration with a pasteurisation system.

How does the Bag-in-Box filler work?

The operator selects the required filling volume using the electronic control panel and prepares the bag for filling.

Cap removal and insertion are carried out manually using the supplied stainless steel tools. During the filling cycle, the electronic control system manages the solenoid valve and the start/stop operation of a connected external pump.

The electromagnetic flow sensor measures the liquid passing through the system, allowing the programmed quantity to be controlled.

The machine is equipped with a manual nitrogen injection valve for introducing nitrogen into the bag. The nitrogen supply must be arranged separately according to the installation requirements.

The optional vacuum system is a separate configuration and is not included with the standard machine.

Hourly production capacity

The machine offers different indicative hourly outputs depending on the Bag-in-Box format.

Production figures are indicative and depend on the liquid, filling format, pump configuration and operating conditions.

Compatible bags, pouches and rigid containers

The filler is designed for Bag-in-Box packaging and compatible pouches, including tall and low pouch formats, with filling volumes starting from 1 L.

The support platform is height-adjustable and can be removed when filling compatible rigid containers.

Supported rigid-container applications include:

• PET containers;
• Aluminium containers;
• Glass containers;
• Rectangular containers;
• Cylindrical containers with a maximum diameter of 85 mm.

Container dimensions, opening type and cap compatibility should be checked before ordering. Special configurations may require additional components.

Applications: wine, oil and fruit juices

The appropriate configuration depends on the characteristics of the liquid, filling temperature and container format.

Wine Bag-in-Box filling

The standard machine is designed for wine-filling applications. The programmable volume control, electromagnetic flow sensor and manual nitrogen injection provision make it suitable for small wineries and artisan wine producers.

An optional electric pump with a rated flow of 1,000 L/h is available for configuring the liquid supply system.

Olive oil filling

An optional oil filling kit is available for adapting the machine to compatible oil-filling applications.

The kit has a specified maximum flow rate of 1,500 L/h. This is the kit's flow specification, not the guaranteed production rate of the complete machine.

Fruit juices and hot liquids

For compatible fruit juices and hot-filling applications, an optional kit is available for processing liquids at temperatures up to 100°C.

The appropriate sensor, filling configuration and operating temperature must be selected according to the product being packaged.

For juice production lines, the machine can also be equipped with an optional collection and electronic level-control system for connection to a pasteurisation installation.

Optional equipment and accessories

The standard machine is supplied without a pump. The following accessories are available separately to configure the filling system for specific applications.

Liquid transfer and product-specific filling

• Electric pump: rated flow of 1,000 L/h.
• Oil filling kit: maximum specified flow of 1,500 L/h.
• Fruit juice and hot-liquid filling kit: for compatible liquids at temperatures up to 100°C.

Vacuum equipment

• Manual vacuum pulser valve: optional system for evacuating air from bags. Requires a suitable compressed-air supply.
• Silenced oil-free compressor: optional 6-bar compressor.

The vacuum equipment is optional. Compressed-air requirements must be confirmed for the selected configuration.

Support trolley

An optional stainless steel support trolley is available with a lower storage shelf.

• Footprint: 60 × 60 cm.
• Height: 1 m.

The trolley provides an alternative installation configuration to placing the machine on a workbench.

Connection to a pasteurisation system

An optional collection tray with electronic float and junction box is available for connecting the filler to a pasteurisation installation.

This accessory can only be combined with the optional stainless steel trolley.

The complete filling and pasteurisation configuration should be checked according to the intended liquid, working temperature and production layout.

Cleaning and maintenance considerations

The machine includes a stainless steel connection for an integrated CIP (clean-in-place) cleaning circuit.

The filling head and stainless steel drip tray are designed to support cleaning operations. The appropriate cleaning procedure must be selected according to the liquid processed and the installed equipment.

The presence of a CIP connection does not mean that a fully automated cleaning programme is included with this model.

How to choose the right configuration

Before ordering, check the main requirements of your filling operation:

1. Product: wine, olive oil, fruit juice or another compatible liquid.
2. Container format: Bag-in-Box bag, pouch or rigid container.
3. Filling volume: select the required capacity, starting from 1 L.
4. Liquid supply: determine whether an external pump is required for your installation.
5. Temperature: identify whether the optional hot-liquid kit is necessary.
6. Additional functions: consider vacuum equipment, trolley installation and pasteuriser connection.

If you already have a pump, verify its compatibility with the filling machine and flow sensor before connecting it.
