Technical Specifications & Performance DataThe Used filling machine
TETRA PAK A3 Flex 1L slim 7500 bph is a 2006 aseptic
form‑fill‑seal system designed for high-efficiency beverage
production in cartons. Built by Tetra Pak®, it delivers precise,
reliable filling for dairy and juice in Tetra Brik formats, making it
a strong fit for industrial packaging operations seeking predictable
uptime and hygienic performance. Manufacturer: Tetra Pak® Model: A3
Flex (Year 2006) Category: Filling Machine – aseptic carton FFS
Nominal speed: up to 7,500 packs/hour Machien Hours: 62.000 Hours
Container type: Brik (aseptic carton); format range subject to
installed tooling Product compatibility: Dairy (e.g., UHT milk), Juice
(with/without pulp, low to medium viscosity) Filling principle:
Aseptic, volumetric dosing No. of valves / heads: 1 Machine
configuration: Linear (rotation: 0) Changeover: Recipe-based format
adjustments to minimize downtime Safety features: Integrated guarding
and interlocks Documentation: Operator and technical manuals
availableAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsFully PLC-controlled
with an HMI interface, the A3 Flex provides recipe management, alarm
diagnostics, and batch logging for robust traceability. The control
platform supports connectivity with plant SCADA/MES for data
acquisition and performance monitoring. Standardized I/O facilitates
integration with upstream UHT/sterilization and downstream end-of-line
equipment. Built-in safety circuits, interlocked doors, and emergency
stops help protect operators during rinsing, filling, and downstream
handling processes. Electrical and pneumatic interfaces are designed
for common EU industrial standards.Production Line Integration
CapabilitiesThis machine integrates seamlessly within a used bottling
line or mixed packaging environment. It interfaces with upstream
product treatment (UHT, homogenization, CIP/SIP) and downstream carton
conveyors, checkweighers, inkjet date coders, case packers, and
palletizers. While dedicated to cartons, it can share utilities,
controls, and data infrastructure alongside parallel PET, glass, or
aluminum can lines that include rinsing, filling, capping, and
labeling machines. Format changes within the Brik family are completed
via guided procedures and recipes to reduce changeover time and
waste.Machine Condition & Maintenance HistoryCurrent status: UNDER
MAINTENANCE. This second hand Tetra Pak A3 Flex is undergoing
scheduled servicing to verify aseptic integrity, dosing accuracy, and
sealing performance. Key wear parts are inspected and replaced as
required. As part of the A3Flex-100V Upgrade, the machine was enhanced
with the addition of 1 AB CPU, 2 AB network modules, 1 AB input
module, 1 AB output module and 1 GE communication module. The
equipment was upgraded from Danaher servo to AB’s latest servo, with
7 Danaher motors replaced by AB motors, together with network cables,
communication cables, connectors and 2 pull ear motor bases.
Maintenance logs, test reports, and commissioning checklists can be
provided. Manuals are included to support rapid start-up and operator
training.Automation and Servo Upgrade: The equipment has been upgraded
from the Danaher servo system to the latest Allen-Bradley servo
technology. The upgrade includes one Allen-Bradley CPU, two
Allen-Bradley network modules, one input module, one output module,
one GE communication module, seven Allen-Bradley motors, associated
network and communication cabling with connectors, and two pull-ear
motor bases.Operational Performance & VersatilityEngineered for
aseptic beverage production, the A3 Flex delivers stable operation on
still liquids such as UHT milk, cream mixes, and fruit juices
(including light pulp). Its hygienic design, closed dosing, and
controlled forming/sealing cycle protect product quality and shelf
life. While the filler is optimized for carton containers, it coexists
efficiently in facilities that also process water, beer, or wine in
PET, glass, or aluminum on separate lines, leveraging common utilities
and centralized quality control. The result is a versatile industrial
packaging platform that supports multi-SKU plants with demanding OEE
targets.Installation Requirements & Site PreparationFor optimal
performance, the machine should be installed in a clean,
climate-controlled production area with aseptic zoning. A level floor,
adequate service access, and proper carton blank and cap material
logistics are recommended. Utility connections typically include:
Electrical supply compatible with EU industrial standards Compressed
air with adequate flow and filtration CIP/SIP connections for product
and circuit sanitation Sterile air for aseptic environments as
specified by the process design Cooling water or glycol (if required
by auxiliary units) Process product inlets and hygienic drains Network
connectivity for SCADA/MES and remote diagnosticsSafety Standards &
Compliance CertificationThe A3 Flex is built to meet E
