Versatility and fast changeover times are important capabilities in modern packaging equipment, and two of the reasons that Hungarian dairy company Sole-Mizo has partnered with SIG, a provider of aseptic filling machines.
Sole-Mizo, part of the Bonafarm group, will be installing the SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine to fill a range of dairy products in two of the SIG packaging formats: SIG MidiBloc, a classic carton, and SIG MidiFit, the differentiating premium pack.
Both carton pack formats can be filled on the same SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine in various volumes, from 500 ml to 1 liter, for the many Sole-Mizo products such as ESL and UHT milk.
This new cooperation will introduce the SIG MidiFit family pack to Hungarian consumers for the first time. Its unique shape and design offers many benefits, including drip-free pouring and easy opening and closing for vertical and horizontal storage.
“Our close partnership with SIG offers clear differentiation for our Mizo brand in Hungary,” said Titus Kuk, plant manager at Sole-Mizo. “SIG MidiFit and SIG MidiBloc carton packs will bring a new dimension in long-life packaging to both retailers and consumers, catching the eye and representing our premium products. We will stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace.”
SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine is capable of filling 12,000 SIG MidiFit and SIG MidiBloc carton packs per hour, with a high degree of flexibility. Packaging formats, volumes, opening solutions and packaging materials can be switched at speed to maximize production capacity.
According to Jovana Pinter, SIG’s head of sales for South East Europe: “Our filling technology offers the unique opportunity to achieve maximum levels of flexibility for our customers, in terms of products, formats and volumes fillable on the same machine. Being able to fill different products into different packaging types on the SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine means Sole-Mizo can adapt quickly to changing needs of consumers and retailers.”
