1st section : Rinsing turret – 5 grippers

• Rinsing turret supplied with 5 grippers with standard fixed nozzles.
• The bottle gripper pads are an extra-rapid assemble and disassemble type.
• The rinser is supplied with a single stage rinsing treatment
• This machine is equipped with a device for detection of the bottle on the conveyor (NO BOTTLE ON CONVEYOR/NO SPRAY): it consist in a photocell which stops the machine and closes the rinser electro valve in case of bottle lack in order to avoid light sprays.
• Electro-valve to control the rinsing fluid.
• The valve stops the treatment fluid flow every time the machine stops and starts it at the machine re-starting.
• Pressure regulator for the treatment fluid.
• Filter for rinsing solution, complete with container and cartridge.
• Manual turret height adjustment (electric regulation available on demand)

2nd section : Filling turret with electropneumatic counterpressure valves

• Counter-pressure filling turret, supplied with 5 ELECTROPNEUMATIC VALVES suitable for filling beer, into glass bottle.
• Manual filling turret height adjustment (electric regulation available on demand)
• The filling turret has a tank with a mirror polished internal surface and a level control probe.

3rd section : Capping turret

Automatic corking turret suitable for crown cork application on glass bottles, supplied with:

• automatic vibrating sorter, made of AISI 304 stainless steel; equipped with caps level monitoring device
• chute equipped with cap presence monitoring device, made of AISI 304 stainless steel
• Nr. 1 corking head with pressure-closing cone for permanent crown cork deformation

4-th section : Bottle movement

• The machine has a central star that conveys the bottle. In turn, the bottles are positioned 5 per time under filling nozzles.
• Machine speed electronically adjusted by means of inverter.
• The unit is also supplied with in and out sensors for automatic start/stop: they stop the machine in case of lack of bottle on inlet conveyor or in case of bottle jam on exit conveyor and they provide the automatic re-start.
• The machine is already provided with stainless steel conveyor belt without conveyor drive and recovery grooves of the liquid accidentally overflow.
• According to CE rules, the monoblock is equipped with safety guards, realized in stainless steel AISI 304 and safety glass.

Rotation of roundabout and star devices

Rotation of the roundabout and the star devices by means of gears or reduction gears driven by gear- motors in oil-bath.
Automatic releases on the central unit and on the star devices for an immediate stoppage in case of a wrong manoeuvre.
Machine speed electronically adjusted by means of inverter.
The monoblock is also supplied with in and out sensors for automatic start/stop: they stop the machine in case of lack of bottle on inlet conveyor or in case of bottle jam on exit conveyor and they provide the automatic re-start.
