Oystar Gasti has confirmed an order for new Contitherm 123 cup filling and sealing lines from leading Saudi foods group Almarai.
With Almarai looking to further expand its dairy business as regional demand in the sector remain strong, the Saudi company will now produce its dairy products on several machines in the Contitherm 123 series.
Oystar claims the Contitherm 123 is the fastest continuous motion machine in the world for filling products in liquid and paste form, with a capacity of 28,000 cups per hour.
The continuous motion principle prevents products from sloshing during the transport to the sealing station with pre-cut foils, in spite of the “extremely rapid” cup transport.
The cups can alternatively be closed with snap-on lids.
Oystar Gasti is not the only company in the Oystar Group to collaborate with the Almarai food group.
The Saudi company also uses butter wrapping and butter mini-portion packaging machines from Oystar Benhil and Oystar Hassia; an FFS machine for cream cheese from Oystar Erca-Formseal; and end-of-line packing machines from Oystar A+F.
