flexcare 200: Versatile filling and closing for high outputs in demanding production environments
Highspeed meets flexibility: Our flexcare 200 is the go-to filling and closing solution for high outputs and efficiency combined with a wide range of machine functions to fulfil your needs. Whether gassing, filling, weight control or a variety of closing options – the flexcare 200 handles every requirement with ease.
Thanks to a travelling filling needle supported by all standard filling systems, a highspeed output of up to 12.000 objects/h can be achieved. Productivity also never stops due to innovative technology with only few format parts and fast, tool-free format changes.
Highlights
- High output and efficiency of up to 12.000 objects/h
- Increased flexibility and efficient processes due to servomotor
- Innovative technology enables fewer format parts and fast, tool-free format change
- 100% in-process-control fully automates quality inspection

100% in-process control
The objects are transported steadily through the system using transport rakes, enabling fully automatic weight control to be implemented without any problems.
Two weighing cells are usually installed. The clocked rake transport allows the tare weight and then the gross weight of each bottle to be determined before filling. This determines the net weight so that incorrectly filled objects can be sorted out via a reject chute.
All common filling systems
The filling station of our flexcare machine is designed to be so flexible that all common filling systems can be used. Which one you want to use depends entirely on the product being processed.
We work with volumetric rotary piston pumps made of stainless steel for manual cleaning or with CIP/SIP-compatible pumps made of ceramic. We also use a mass flow meter that can be used for small and large filling volumes. Another option is peristaltic pumps, which can also be used with disposable hose systems.
Rotating filling needles
The filling needles move with the objects during the filling process; this allows more time for the actual filling process without having to stop the movement through the system. In this way, larger filling volumes can be achieved even at high output rates.
During the filling process, the needle also follows the fill level in the containers, thus preventing foaming and dripping and further increasing process reliability.
Easy-to-clean machine design
Line cleaning and line clearance are important to us: during the design phase, we paid particular attention to ensuring that the machine is easily accessible and can be cleaned ergonomically. When changing batches, the clear view allows all objects to be reliably and safely removed from the system.
Multifunctional sealing units
The multifunctional capping units of the flexcare 200 can easily process a wide variety of closures. We offer three different capping stations for different types of closures: for droppers or stoppers that are set in place, for screw caps and crimp caps or spray pumps with riser tubes that are closed and screwed on with servo motors, and finally for caps that are placed on top.
Output of up to 200pieces per minute
At its highest configuration level, our flexcare series has an output capacity of up to 200 bottles per minute; the specific value naturally also depends on the filling volume of the bottle and the capping process.
Frameless doors
Door frames were deliberately avoided as far as possible in order to ensure an optimal view of the ongoing processes at all times.
