HBM Plastics & Packaging Technologies Pty Ltd, in conjunction with IC Filling Systems of Italy, have recently commissioned a new bottling line for edible oils at Proteco Oils in Kingaroy, Queensland.
Proteco Oils are the leading manufacturer of cold pressed edible oils in Australia. Their range of chemicalfree, plant and nut-based oils are packaged for the retail, food service and export markets.
Proteco approached HBM with a need to replace their ageing bottle and capping equipment and after careful consideration, a Rinser/Filler/Capper Monoblock from IC Filling Systems was chosen.
Operating at 2,100bph (35 bottles per minute), the Model 9-12-1-1 machine rinses and fills a variety of PET and glass bottles and has two separate capping heads to handle both ROPP and screw-type closures.
Josh Gadischke, Managing Director of Proteco Oils, was highly impressed with the machine supply, from order placement, right through to equipment commissioning:
“HBM provided us with a truly professional service. It was great to be able to have them deliver a bottle filling solution which exceeded our expectations. We appreciated the high level of customer service from HBM and their helpful attitude. Throughout the entire process from project scope to commissioning, the support and knowledge was outstanding.
The IC Filling Systems equipment purchased did not disappoint. It was built to a very high standard and is well designed for ease of cleaning, changeovers and at the same time easy to operate. This ICFS machine will provide our business with many years of productive usage.
We look forward to working with HBM again.”
