Since meeting Co-Ro A/S at Interpack in 2017, Adelphi Masterfil have proudly supplied System F-600 filling lines for Sunquick fruit drink concentrate to two joint venture companies — including BIDCORO in Kenya.
Optimised Filling to Extend Shelf Life
Sunquick’s natural fruit sugars and high specific gravity (SG) create unique filling challenges due to product stickiness and density.
Engineered for Performance
Adelphi Masterfil developed:
- Unique piston head adaptations
- Enhanced piston seal cleaning function
- Electronically servo-controlled nozzle movement and filling speeds
- Customisable filling “recipes” saved for each Sunquick flavour
Critical Production Advantages
- ±0.15% filling accuracy
- Rise-while-fill nozzle movement to prevent aeration
Avoiding aeration is vital to lengthening shelf life and ensuring Sunquick reaches customers in perfect condition.
Hassle-Free Turnkey Integration
Adelphi Masterfil worked closely with BIDCORO throughout the project, with teams from both companies visiting each other’s sites to ensure seamless collaboration.
The project included full turnkey line integration, comprising:
- Bottle washer
- System F-600 filler
- Capper
- Labeller
- Detailed project management ensured smooth installation and commissioning.
Enhanced Capping Technology
The Mastercap Capping Machine (also manufactured by Adelphi Masterfil) included bespoke features such as:
- Nitrogen gas purge before capping
- UV “cap in chute” exposure
These enhancements guarantee a hygienic finish — critical in food and beverage production.
More Than Machinery
Beyond the technical performance of the System F-600, this partnership reflects shared values between Adelphi Masterfil and BIDCORO:
- Commitment to quality
- Focus on sustainability
- Dedication to social responsibility
Adelphi Masterfil look forward to continuing to support BIDCORO in manufacturing world-leading consumer beverage products.
Key Outcomes
- ±0.15% precision filling
