In food production, hygiene is critical for consistent quality and regulatory compliance. All product-contact surfaces of the machines used in filling and packaging must meet hygiene standards.
TÜRESAN develops its filling machines for the food industry with AISI 304 and AISI 316L stainless steel construction, easy-to-clean filling hoppers and CIP-compatible systems. High filling accuracy is achieved for dairy products, beverages, sauces, honey, granules and powders.
Hygienic design reduces downtime on the production line while raising product safety to the highest level. TÜRESAN solutions give food manufacturers a safe and efficient production infrastructure.
Why the material choice matters
In food filling, the parts that touch the product are the parts that decide hygiene. TÜRESAN builds machine frames in AISI 304 stainless steel and manufactures every product-contact surface in AISI 316L stainless steel, which offers higher corrosion resistance against acidic sauces, brines and cleaning chemicals. Balance tanks are level-controlled and also made of AISI 316L, so the product is held in the same hygienic material from tank to nozzle.
Smooth, crevice-free surfaces and easy-to-remove hoppers shorten cleaning time and reduce the risk of residues building up between batches.
CIP compatibility and cleaning between batches
Cleaning-in-place lets the line be flushed and sanitised without dismantling the filler. TÜRESAN filling systems are designed to be CIP-compatible, so a change from one product to another can be handled as a cleaning cycle rather than a manual strip-down. This is what keeps downtime short on lines that run several recipes in a day.
For products that are filled hot, cold or with particles, the filling method is matched to the product: volumetric, flowmeter, load-cell or level-controlled systems are available across the liquid filling range.
From dairy and beverages to powders and granules
The food industry rarely has a single product type. TÜRESAN covers liquids such as milk, juices, sauces and honey with linear and rotary liquid fillers, and dry products with the conveyor system linear powder filling line, which uses helical or load-cell dosing for 400–1,500 cc and 1,500–6,000 cc ranges. Cubic and mobile mixers on the powder filling side keep blends homogeneous before filling.
Bulk products can be handled with the drum filling machine (200–1,000 litres, flowmeter or load-cell controlled) and semi-fluid products such as spreads with the tube filling machine.
A hygienic line does not end at the filler
Bottles arrive with dust; the bottle cleaning machine with air removes it with 0.12 micron filtered, ionised air before filling. After filling, servo-torque or air-motor capping seals the container with a repeatable force, and stainless-steel labelling machines apply full-wrap or top-and-bottom labels. Designing these stations together keeps the hygienic zone continuous and the line balanced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which stainless steel grades are used on TÜRESAN food filling machines?
Frames are AISI 304 and every product-contact surface, including the balance tank, is AISI 316L stainless steel.
Are the machines CIP-compatible?
Yes. TÜRESAN filling systems are designed for cleaning-in-place, so product changes are handled as a cleaning cycle instead of a manual disassembly.
Can the same line fill both liquid and powder food products?
Liquids and powders use different dosing technologies, so they are handled by different fillers. TÜRESAN supplies both and can integrate them into a common conveyor, capping and labelling line.
What is the filling accuracy for food products?
TÜRESAN liquid and powder filling lines are specified at ±0.3% accuracy; actual capacity depends on the container, the number of nozzles and product viscosity.
Is hot filling possible?
The filling method is selected according to the product's temperature, viscosity and foaming behaviour during project design. Share your product details through the contact page for an evaluation.
