PROCESSING & PACKAGING
Transparent doors and frameless design for better visibility of the LINEA XS
Serac launches an all-terrain filler
The packaging specialist took the best of both its rotary and linear machines to design a cup filler that meets the investment constraints of medium-speed production- from 5000 to 12000 cups per hour.
The LINEA XS incorporates Serac’s latest advances in terms of hygiene, ergonomics and flexibility in a refined design that makes installation and dai- ly operation easier.
Having enticed food manufactur- ers in Western Europe, this new offer could also prove interesting in geo- graphical areas where access to expe- rienced technicians is difficult.
Simple to clean filling machines
The LINEA XS is designed to be ex- tremely easy to clean. It guarantees environmental control through a unidi- rectional laminar flow installed above filling operations.
It can be combined with H2O2, UV or pulsed light decontamination mod- ules, depending on the level of bacte- riological reduction required and the environmental goals. It also benefits from a new electric dosing nozzle de- veloped by Serac, which is cleaner and more versatile.
Simple design & faster changeovers
The LINEA XS has been cleared of
all non-essential mechanical and elec- tronic components. It gets back to cams in order to reduce the number of servomotors and reduce adjustments to the strict minimum, while offering fast format changeovers: 30 minutes maximum.
With its robust mechanics and very few wearing parts, the LINEA XS is de- signed to offer maximum production time over a minimum service life of 15 to 20 years.
Available for stackable and non- stackable cups, the LINEA XS can also be combined with a cup blower in the CUPBOX block variant.
With a base price significantly lower than that of high-speed linear fillers, it offers production plants a unique solution to meet the needs of ultra-segmented markets and the growing demand for locally produced goods.

Cool operational ergonomics
With a lowered chassis, stor- age stations within arm’s reach, transparent doors and a fra- meless design that provide in- creased visibility on the filling functions, the LINEA XS offers true working comfort to the op- erator in charge of running it.
Easy to ship & ready to install
Compact, the LINEA XS can be shipped in a container without having to be disman- tled and disconnected. It thus provides enhanced trust and speed upon installation, for trouble-free production start- ups, even in geographical ar- eas where technical skills are scarce.
