Chance for dairies to milk bags of opportunity
As supermarkets encourage consumers to buy more milk in bags, there are growing opportunities for dairies to compete for this work. And a bagging machine developed for this purpose, now available in the UK, should help dairies to meet supermarket demands.
The PV200 Inox, from Italian firm PFM, has been designed as an entry-level milk bagging machine that is simple to operate and maintain. It is also claimed to offer a good cost/performance ratio.
Built in stainless steel to dairy industry hygiene standards and capable of producing up to 60 one-litre polyethylene bags of milk a minute, the machine employs a low-maintenance dosing system based on electronically timed flow.
It is also equipped for connection to a clean-in-place washing system, allowing automatic cleansing of the liquid tank, the milk dosing unit and the dosing tube. The latest equipment is now available with the option of ultrasonic sealing.
