PLF Virtus: Redefining infant formula industry standards

Developed by PLF's skilled team in the UK, the Virtus features a patented nozzle design that sets it apart, delivering up to three times higher throughput per head compared to its predecessors. This innovative design not only addresses the industry's imperative for rapid filling speeds but also ensures gentle handling of powders—an essential consideration for sensitive dairy products.

One of the most innovative characteristics of the PLF Virtus lies in the vacuum-based filling system, free from any moving parts in contact with the product, eliminating the risk of metal-to-metal contact found in auger-based filling systems. PLF's Vacuum filling technology eliminates the risk of product recontamination, providing customers with the highest hygiene standards ever seen in the market that meet rigorous demands from leading and well-known blue-chip brands.

A standout feature of the Virtus is its remarkable ability to reduce changeover and cleaning times by over 30%, contributing to significant OEE increase. The modular design, available in 1, 2, 4, and 6 head models, offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability. With filling speeds ranging from 30 to 180 CPM, the Virtus seamlessly adapts to diverse production requirements. Moreover, the Virtus ™ is future-proof as it can easily handle metal cans, composite packages, and plastic tubs.

PLF Virtus™ is the safest vacuum filling technology combined with 30% increased OEE and an edge for sustainability with reduced utility consumption by up to 50%.
