Latest Innovations
IML application system
Emballage 2004 (Paris): First samples
Completed in 2007 and presented in the Interpack 2008 (Dusseldorf)
Advantages
Can be used on conical cups
Bottom part coverage (for barcode)
Tailor made according to how many sides the customer wants to decorate.
Key features and Advantages
Suitable for any cup geometry (vertical  or conical wall)
Label material savings
Easy label changeover Superior adherence properties
Compact size unit
So far, there have been only a couple of methods to decorate a cup/container produced by a Form Fill Seal machine. One is to install a labelling machine at the exit of the FFS line, the other to have an in-line banding system which, while it is effective in applying a 360° label around the cup, limits the shapes of cups to be labelled to only straight-wall (vertical) ones. 
Alfa Machine has developed an innovative system for In Mould Labelling decoration on Form Fill Seal machines that can apply a label on vertical or conical cups, it is very effective, flexible (in terms of label changeovers), compact and cost efficient in comparison to the traditional methods. 
The available label types are suitable for adhering extremely well on virtually any cup material including polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), PET etc. 
The system was presented for the first time at the Interpack 2008 and has immediately drawn attention and very positive comments due to its unrivalled advantages and applications range. Alfa Machine has already patented this innovative system.

23. High end peripheral equipment Automatic Case Packer
This system is able to pick up the finished products and place them into carton boxes.
It is a stainless steel construction, driven by servomotors and its operation is assisted
by a vacuum pump. The casepacker is equipped with a touchscreen operator panel which allows
to fully control the unit. The carton boxes must be fed into the casepacker already erected.
Optionally, an internal separation sheet can be placed in between the cup layers.
Our company offers such applications to be adapted at the output conveyor of our machines.

24. High end peripheral equipment Butter Extruder
Various thick, pastry products (like butter, margarine etc.) need conditioning/softening before the filling
Mobile unit
Tank capacity 150kg of product.
CIP Feeding Unit
Most effective, less labor intensive, faster equipment cleaning method
Minimizes product residue accumulation
Compact, Mobile unit equipped with a Programmable Logic Controller, is linked to the FFS machine and it is operated either by the machine's main control panel or by its own screen.
CIP operation cycles (e.g. hot/cold rinse, Alkaline, Acidic etc.) can be programmed according to customer requirements.
This system is used for projects where various thick, pastry products (like butter, margarine etc.) need conditioning/softening before are fed into the filling unit. It is a mobile unit that employs double helical screws having an adjustable speed for the product processing. Once the product is ready for filling, a propulsive pump “pushes” it towards the filling unit pressure tank. The pressure tank on the filler uses the required product and sends back the excess using a bypass piping connection. The unit is mobile with a tank capacity of 150kg of product.
It is widely accepted that Clean-In-Place (CIP) is the most effective, less labor intensive, faster equipment cleaning method. Alfa Machine's filling units are built to be CIP connectable (on request). In such systems the filler and its piping network is manufactured so as to minimize product residue accumulation and facilitate the connection to the central CIP facility. In case a central Clean-In-Place facility is not available we can provide a CIP Feeder that is connected to the filler and effectively washes all parts involved. This is a compact, mobile unit that is equipped with a Programmable Logic Controller, is linked to the FFS machine and it is operated either by the machine's main control panel or by its own screen. The CIP operation cycles (e.g. hot/cold rinse, Alcaline, Acidic etc.) can be programmed according to customer requirements.
