Ultra-Versatile, Modular Cup Filling System

The modular design of Synerlink’s Versatech cup-filling system enables it to handle a potentially ‘infinite’ range of cup sizes, styles, and materials, while its automatic slat changing technology allows for format changes in just 20 min.

The Versatech’s modular design allows functions to be added, switched, or removed easily and quickly.

Well deserving of its tagline, “a new generation of cup filling machine,” the Versatech from Synerlink, a BW Packaging Systems Company,  is a modular, ultra-flexible machine that can fill cups from 40 to 150 mm at 12,000 cups/hr, with changeover from one format to another, including different shapes, materials, diameters, and heights, taking just 20 min from last to first container. 

One key to the flexibility of the system is its modular design, which allows functions to be added, switched, or removed easily and quickly—from half a day to two days, according to Fabien Jégo, design leader and product marketing leader at Synerlink S.A. Each module is plug-and-play via a centralized cabling network. Through this network, each module automatically integrates with the rest of the system, both pneumatic and electric. The indexed position of the modules allows for simple placement and calibration, with a positioning accuracy of 0.1 mm.

Another feature that facilitates this flexibility is the machine’s ability to automatically load and unload slats, which Jégo says allows the customer to perform a slats change “in record time.” It also allows for fast and easy cleaning of the slats, with no tools required. Another advantage of the system’s fast return system is that fewer slats are required.

According to Jégo, the Versatech was engineered to address the top six issues currently facing users of cup filling machines. One is late customization by brand owners. With the Versatech, “a project manager can place an order without having full specifications,” he explains. “The modular design allows final packaging design integration and functions modifications until the last minute.”
