ERGOLINER XL
The master of its class
The new linear bucket filler with ergonomic ultraclean design for
maximum production speed and utmost flexibility.

The new upside down machine

technology is a milestone with regard
to the development of bucket filling
machines. The whole machine can
be operated without platforms. This
relates to both the reloading of packing
materials and the format changeover
without tools.
Depending on the extent of the format
changeover the changeover time for the
complete linear bucket fillers takes only
5 – 15 minutes.
The consequent further development
of the proven pulsed-light-high-
performance UV(C) sterilisation system
for GRUNWALD cup filling machines
ERGOLINER XL in new upside down machine technology
resulted in a patented procedure which
guarantees a sterilisation rate of ≥ LOG4 Due to the fact that all drives were shifted to the top this machine stands out with its unique
also with buckets (up to 10 litres). ergonomics

The ERGOLINER XL offers the following

features:
• bucket denesting with a storage time
of up to 30 minutes. Ergonomic low level
bucket storage
• patented pulsed-light-high-perfor-
mance-UV(C) sterilisation system with a storage time

ERGOLINER XL
• filling station in aseptic design with of up to 30 minutes
