Operational description

Bulk pack is attached at gland clamp ring. Using steam sterilisation the membrane of the gland is rinsed for a time and temperature.
The membrane is then pierced and product is pumped from the pack to filler or dispense mixer.
After completion of the cycle the empty bulk pack is removed the nozzle and then rinsed with steam, removing all traces of product from the nozzle area.
The next pack can then be connected and the sequence started again.
