  • Ampack showcases new dosing technology for low-foam aseptic bottle filling at interpack 2026

    For the first time, Ampack will have a stand-alone booth (Hall 6, Booth B29) at interpack in Düsseldorf from May 7 to 13, 2026. The company's exhibit will focus on a new dosing technology for aseptic bottle filling that enables particularly low-foam dosing of liquid foods. This addition to Ampack's filling station portfolio sets new standards in efficiency and product protection, complementing the proven dosing units for cup filling available at all hygiene levels from clean to aseptic. These units will be on display at the booth alongside other innovative technologies, such as a multi-sealing head.   Low-foam dosing for sensitive products Liquid foods such as clinical nutrition, baby food or drinkable meals present unique challenges to filling technology. During bottling, these products tend to foam heavily, which can impair filling accuracy, line performance, and process stability. Ampack's solution is an innovative dosing process designed specifically for aseptic bottle filling.   The piston fully plunges into the bottle and guides the product along the inner wall through openings on the sides. This gentle product flow significantly reduces foaming and offers maximum product protection – and, depending on the format, achieves a line output of up to 36,000 bottles per hour. “The response has been very positive – several customers are already using the new dosing unit in their daily production to their full satisfaction,” says Markus Schlumberger, Managing Director of Ampack.   Proven basis: Modular bottle filling line FBL The new dosing technology is part of the FBL linear bottle filling machine, which was launched in 2024. It is designed for filling preformed HDPE, PP, and PET bottles and is ideally suited for aseptic applications such as baby food, clinical nutrition, drinkable meals, and special liquid products that do not require refrigeration.   Service throughout the entire life cycle In addition to dosing technology, Ampack will be presenting its newly established after-sales service with a new service portfolio at interpack. This includes customizable service agreements ranging from spare parts supply and maintenance to wear parts management and preventive maintenance, offering customers maximum planning reliability and minimal downtime. Upon request, Ampack also carries out maintenance on entire filling lines. “We consider ourselves a partner throughout the entire life cycle of the machine. We even go one step further to ensure the entire filling line runs smoothly,” says Joachim Riegg, Director of Service at Ampack.   At interpack, Ampack will highlight its expertise in hygienic filling and dosing processes with its extended service portfolio and new dosing technology. The company will also showcase the continued development of filling stations as a key element of modern filling systems. Visit Booth B29 in Hall 6 at interpack Düsseldorf to meet the Ampack experts and chat in person.   The piston of Ampack's new dosing technology plunges into the bottle and guides the product precisely along the inner wall through side openings to minimise foaming. The modular smartFill dosing unit of the FBL filling machine ensures maximum filling accuracy for liquid to highly viscous foods.   Thanks to its flexible handling and sterilisation system, the FBL fills different bottle formats and materials while protecting the product.   Contact Jessica Trieb Marketing & Business Communication  +49 8231 6005 295  [email protected]   About Ampack GmbH Ampack GmbH is a leading supplier of filling and packaging technology for liquid and viscous products in the dairy and food industry.
