Flexi:
the new generation of Lanfranchi unscramblers
with automatic change over
Patent Pending
The Flexi unscrambler has been chosen for a new project by
Yves Rocher, in order to realize a very flexible line from the
technological point of view.
Flexi unscrambler matches two Lanfranchi patented technologies:
Liftmaster and Twister.
11
Advantages of both technologies give birth to a machine with the
Flexi can reach a speed of 20,000 bph.
following special features:
This kind of unscrambler is particularly indicated to handle bottles
1. automatic change over;
which cannot be handled with standard machines because of
2. functioning high efficiency even with damaged bottles;
their shape.
3. high efficiency in filling funnels > 97%;
4. possibility to handle particular shaped bottles;
5. no compressed air thanks to the use of BFS system;
6. improved visibility of the inside of the machine;
7. high machine accessibility;
8. reduced noise;
9. bottle friendly.

Antistatic bars are installed to eliminate the electrostatic charge on the bag.

The first side of the bag is welded and moved along the stainless steel plane. Four smart hands open the bag

At this point the last side of the bag is welded by electro-pneumatical vertical mechanism and cut by related

The machine, with quick change over, will feed a filler at 18,000

HP HOOD
Lanfranchi is proud of the supply of the third ultra clean aerial
conveyor line (after the two lines installed in the past years)
to the dairy group HP HOOD, strengthening the collaboration
with this important American producer. The line include 160 m
of air conveyors feeding one multi-size aseptic filler at 40,000
bph. Lanfranchi, with its thirty-year experience in the sector,
has designed this line following strict hygienic rules, in order to
preserve and not increase the bacterial load in HDPE bottles,
intended to contain a so delicate product as milk.
To guarantee the maximum flexibility, this line has the new
extruder at the speed of 20,000 bph.
This is the sole machine in the world (thanks to patented
Lanfranchi solutions like the starwheel at variable pitch), which
allows to reduce the space at the base and to positively check
the bottles with carrots – always hard to transport on conveyors
– with a consequent increase of the line efficiency.
Proud of the trust received by our customer in the person of
