At its AUSPACK conference on March 27, 2019, the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) selected the best packaging innovations and products of the year.

GEA VIPOLL received the Award of Excellence for its ALL IN ONE monoblock filler in two categories: GEA's Australian partner Foodmach had submitted the filler for the competition and received the “Best New Product Award” and the “Best Imported Equipment Award” for the ALL ON ONE which fills cans, glass and PET bottles.

APPMA Chairman Mark Dingley said during the ceremony, “Our event was a showcase of sustainability. The innovations and dedication highlighted at this Gala Award Ceremony show that the entire Australian packaging and processing industry has a viable, sustainable long-term future.”

In short, the ALL IN ONE:

  • fills glass, PET and cans, and can handle different formats
  • accommodates both carbonated and still beverages, as well as hot and cold filling.
  • switches format and product on the filling block in less than 20 minutes.
  • provides a rinser equipped with universal grippers, and a filler that uses an electro-pneumatic filler valve.
  • can integrate different cappers, e.g. combined capping turrets with capping heads for crown corks and can lids or for aluminum and plastic screw caps.
  • unlike traditional systems, ensures minimal product loss through its unique capping method. • is designed with a sequence of functions that are so seamless that only the smallest amount of oxygen enters the product during the filling process.
  • is easily managed using an HMI touchscreen and an interface for data transfer to a SCADA system.
