Description
Overview
The STV LV2 is a compact, patented 2-valve vacuum filler, offered second hand and refurbished by Icon Equipment International. It performs the same core function as the larger CRST20 — vacuum filling covering liquids such as oil, brine, vinegar-and-water mixtures, sugar syrups, and tomato sauces into glass and can containers already holding solid products (olives, peppers, capers, artichokes, tomatoes, fruit) — but in a smaller footprint suited to lower-volume or smaller-batch producers.
Key Features
- Compact 2-valve configuration ideal for smaller production runs or trial/pilot lines
- Fitted with a new feeding screw matched to your container diameter
- Fitted with a new AISI 316 stainless steel heating coil (steam filter, solenoid valve, steam trap) with temperature managed via the integrated operator panel
- Handles both hot filling (up to 80°C) and cold filling
Ideal Applications
Small-batch and emerging manufacturers of preserved vegetables, olives, and antipasto-style jars who need reliable vacuum filling of covering liquids but don’t yet require the throughput of a 20-valve system — a natural entry point before scaling up to STV’s higher-capacity CRST20 range.
Optional Accessory
Additional feeding screw for a different container diameter, stainless steel shaft.
