Ölmühle Birnstingl chooses CFT’s oil filling machine
When the quality of organic edible oil meets Italian technology, valuable collaborations are born. This is the case with Ölmühle Birnstingl, an Austrian company active for over 150 years, which has chosen us to optimize its packaging lines. Thanks to the use of the Magnum MRV E edible oil filling machine, the company has been able to combine tradition and innovation in an efficient and sustainable way. In this article, we tell a story of trust, precision, and shared growth in the pumpkin seed oil sector.
The success story of Ölmühle Birnstingl
In the heart of western Styria, nestled in green landscapes just a few kilometers from Graz, stands a true Austrian excellence: Ölmühle Birnstingl GmbH. This family-run company, active since 1854 and now in its sixth generation, has established itself in the processing and marketing of organic Styrian pumpkin seed oil, a product that proudly represents the agricultural tradition of the region.
Over the years, Ölmühle Birnstingl has successfully combined respect for traditional methods with a modern production vision. It was precisely this balance between innovation and quality that led, in 1998, to the start of a strategic collaboration with us, with the supply of the first edible oil filler under the COMACO brand (now an integral part of CFT).
That initial investment was not a one-off event but the beginning of a long-lasting collaboration, based on trust, technical expertise, and a shared vision. Confirming this relationship, in 2017 the Austrian company once again chose us to enhance its production line with a second edible oil filling machine.


Advanced technology for pumpkin seed oil: the Magnum MRV E filler
To meet the requirements of precision, delicacy, and hygiene necessary for edible oil packaging, we supplied Ölmühle Birnstingl with a complete triblock – blower, edible oil filler, and capper – equipped with the Magnum MRV E, a 12-head volumetric filler.
Among the distinctive features of the Magnum MRV E is the double turret structure, which ensures exceptional robustness and stability. Each valve is equipped with a fine piston stroke adjustment system to ensure precise and consistent dosing. The filling nozzles, designed to minimize oxygen incorporation and prevent dripping, make this edible oil filler ideal even for special and organic oils like pumpkin seed oil.
The automatic washing system and fast format changes simplify daily operations, reducing downtime and increasing line efficiency.
A high-performance and flexible edible oil filler
The Magnum MRV E installed at the St. Bartholomä plant is designed to handle 250 ml glass bottles of various shapes (conical and cylindrical), offering maximum production flexibility. The filling system allows a speed of 100 bottles per minute (bpm), with ultra-high precision mechanical volumetric dosing, adjustable even during operation.
The product-contact components are made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel to ensure maximum hygiene. The convex bottom of the tank ensures a smooth and constant oil flow, while the “no bottle/no fill” system prevents waste by stopping filling in the absence of a container.
All these features make Magnum MRV E one of the most reliable and advanced edible oil filling machines available on the market today.


A long-term partnership based on trust
The decision of Ölmühle Birnstingl to return to our company nearly twenty years after the first supply reflects a solid and enduring partnership, built on shared values and the constant pursuit of excellence.
The strengths that make us the ideal partner for edible oil packaging:
- Reliability and continuity: The renewed trust of Ölmühle Birnstingl confirms our ability to offer long-term stable solutions.
- Expertise in edible oil filling: Our long-standing experience in the sector, consolidated through machines like the Magnum MRV, allows us to guarantee precise, gentle filling with minimal product loss.
- Historical know-how: Brands such as COMACO, now part of CFT, demonstrate our deep-rooted presence in the edible oil sector.
- Valuable after-sales support: We offer original spare parts, preventive maintenance, and support even for older systems, extending the lifespan of our edible oil fillers and ensuring maximum production efficiency.
A growing market and a shared vision
The synergy created with Ölmühle Birnstingl fits into a continuously expanding market. According to Grand View Research, the global edible oil market value exceeded $204.9 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% until 2030. The segment of organic and specialty oils, such as pumpkin seed oil, is experiencing even faster growth, with a forecast CAGR of 9.5% by 2032 (source: Market Research Future).
In this scenario, investing in an efficient, hygienic, and precise edible oil filling machine like the Magnum MRV represents a strategic choice for producers who aim to stand out through quality and innovation.
