Overview

The STV CRST20 is a patented 20-valve automatic vacuum filler, available second hand and refurbished through Icon Equipment International. It is purpose-built for vacuum filling covering liquids — including oil, brine, water-and-vinegar mixtures with salt, sugar syrups, and sauces for peeled tomatoes — into glass and can containers that already contain solid products such as olives, peppers, capers, artichokes, tomatoes, and fruit. This is a common late-stage packaging step for Australian producers of preserved and antipasto-style products.

Key Features

• 20-valve design (STV special patent) enables high-throughput vacuum filling of covering liquids
• Integrated device for valve opening during the washing phase, simplifying cleaning cycles
• Equipped with a feeding screw matched to a specific container diameter (new)
• Handles both hot filling (up to 80°C) and cold filling
• Configurable with additional diameter-specific tooling and heating options (see accessories)

Ideal Applications

Producers of preserved vegetables, olives, antipasto products, and peeled tomato products who need to add a covering liquid to containers that already hold solid product — a step where consistent vacuum filling is essential to product presentation, shelf stability, and reducing air pockets in the jar.

Why Buy Refurbished from Icon Equipment
