Aseptic and non-aseptic fillers

Our filler range is recognised as both the most complete and the most flexible on the market, including aseptic and non-aseptic options with a wide range of clever dispensers. For all fillers customers can choose semi or fully-automatic filling systems, according to the output required.

Products requiring sterility, as well as non-aseptic products, are handled with the same high levels of efficiency. Single head fillers with turnkey fully automated multi-head machines are available. The aseptic range includes the patented aseptic membrane filling system, Intasept, the aseptic packaging system of choice for many companies, and the Sterikap aseptic filling system, which is designed for customers with more standard applications, using bags with a gland and a cap.

The non-aseptic range includes the Autokap high-speed, accurate range of fillers, which has been specifically designed to fill an extended range of both hot and cold stable liquids.

Bag-in-box technology

The low environmental impacts of bag-in-box technology make it an increasingly attractive packaging medium for companies to reduce their carbon impact and manage the supply chain costs more effectively.

The ability to accommodate both high and low acid liquids has made the format popular with other liquid markets including chemicals, adhesives, surface costing and lubricating oil. Pack sizes range from 1.5l to 1,000l and this makes Rapak and Worldwide Dispensers’ product portfolio suitable for retail and ‘business to business’ end users.

Smoothies, juices, wine, cocktails, post-mix syrups, water, milkshakes and other dairy products are just some of the liquid foods and drinks using our bag-in-box and dispensing systems. When combined with innovative dispense solutions, bag-in-box is one of the most convenient, cost-effective and ecological forms of packaging.
