Description
The automatic bottle and can filling line BCFL-3000IC is fully equipped filling technology with the operation capacity up to 3000 glass bottles or aluminium cans per hour
(… this capacity is valid for 0.33L glass bottles or aluminium cans)
Our innovative beverage counter-pressure bottle/can filling line BCFL-3000IC includes the monoblock unit HYBRID 12-12-1SC EPV (Monoblock which includes the rinsing unit, the counterpressure filling unit, the crown capping unit and the cans closure unit) . This is the first hybrid dual line counterpressure linear filler available on the market.
Operation capacity:
– Up to 2400 pcs of the 0.5 lt bottles or cans per hour
– Up to 3000 pcs of the 0.3 lt bottles or cans per hour
You can handle more different size of the bottles or cans with this line. It is an extremely flexible & versatile machine. It is very simple to adapt the machine to use with each different diameter of bottles or cans in case of purchasing additional bottle/can handling parts (see the optional equipment) .
The BCFL-3000IC filling line, thanks to the electro-pneumatic control of the filling valves, offers high-speed precision filling and, in the case of beer and cider filling, minimal possible disolved oxygene level.
Main operation steps of the machine :
- Filling the bottles or cans with carbon dioxide from the external CO² pressurised supply tanks
- A hermetic seal is then created between the bottles/cans and counter-pressure filling valve
- Flushing of the inside of the bottles/cans by creating a flow of virgin CO² to remove the oxygen inside the bottles/cans, and at the same time by extracting the oxygen via the degassing valve
- Pressurising a second time the bottles/cans with CO² from the header tank on board the unit and balancing of the pressures between the bottles/cans and the header tank
- Counter-pressure filling is then performed
- Once filling is complete, there is a stabilising pause to let the product settle inside the bottles/cans which aids in prevents foaming
- Degassing bring the bottles/cans back to atmospheric pressure
Characteristics of the filling machine :
■ Reliable calculation of the fill level using the length of the vent tube
■ Low-oxygen filling thanks to CO² flushing
■ Closed CIP circuit
■ Hygienic design
■ Electro-pneumatically controlled filling valve functions for maximum flexibility, which is managed by the operator on the main control panel.
■ Able to handle various size bottles/cans ranging from 150ml to 1000ml using the exhange parts (optional equipment)
■ Able to handle various size can ends (upper and lower lids) 200, 202, 300 using the exhange parts (optional equipment)
■ Twin lane header tanks independently operating allows one filling lane to be operating while the other is stopped for maintenance. This is a perfect function to contingency in case of fill valve failure to allow production to keep moving.
The bottle/can filling line consists of these components and blocks :
- Depalletiser – Equipment for automatic loading of empty aluminum bottles/cans directly from pallets into the filling line.
- HYBRID 12-12-1SC EPV (Rinsing unit/ Filling unit/ Bottles closure unit/ Cans closure unit) – Automatic monoblock machine for rinsing, filling and closing the glass bottles or aluminium cans

Filling turret with electro-pneumatic counter pressure valves
Counter-pressure filling turret, supplied with 12 electro-pneumatic valves, suitable for filling carbonated products into glass bottles or aluminium cans.
- Automatic filling turret height adjustment.
- The filling turret has a twin tanks linear filling system with a mirror polished internal surface and an automatic level control probe.
- Fill level accuracy : +/- 2mm
Counter pressure filling with CO² flushing
The filler is suitable for counter pressure filling with CO² flushing for a true counter pressure of 3 bars.
The feeding mechanism works in a linear step -by-step mode and moves with 6 bottles/cans one after the other inside the filler in each lane. Six bottles/cans is placed under 6 filling valves during one filling batch.
Two parallel filling systems ensure a total of 12 filling valves and an output of 3000 bottles/cans per hour in a controlled accurate fill way.
When all the bottles/cans have reached their correct filling position the valves descend down onto the bottles/cans creates a hermetic seal, and put them in direct contact with the filling valves, sealing the neck. At this point the filling cycles starts and does the following:
• Pressurising the cans with CO² from the external CO² pressurised supply tanks.
• Flushing of the inside of the bottles/cans by creating a flow of virgin CO² to remove the oxygen inside the bottles/cans, and at the same time by extracting the air via the snift valve.
• Pressurising a second time the bottles/cans with CO² from the filling tank
• Counterpressure filling with the beverage product is performed
• Stabilising pause to let the beverage product settle inside the bottles/cans and prevent foaming
• Degassing and snifting the bottles/cans
The system includes a very versatile snift process to release the CO² pressure inside the bottles/cans gradually before the cans are completely released and sent to the bottles/cans closure unit. The CO² flushing kit allows our client to reach better levels of TPO (Total Packaged Oxygen).
Cans closure unit description :
Can lid distribution system :
- Number of the can lid distribution lines : two
Once filled the cans are moved away from the filler to the can seamer.
During this journey a lid dispenser positions one lid on each can that passes underneath it.
Just before picking up the lid it is possible to add a CO² under cover usibf the flushing device to eliminate any air inside the neck of the can.
In the upper part of the lid distribution units there is a revolving turret with 6 cylindric containers to lids feeding. The cylindric stock containers can be removed and refilled as the lids are used up. The cylinders are filled up off-line ready to be installed rapidly at intervals. Each cylinder can hold up to 200 lids each.
Extra kits of the cylindric containers for lids are available for sale as optionals to reduce stoppage time between refills.
Can closure unit (the can seamer)
When the can with the lid (now correctly in position), is positioned just under the seaming head, a pneumatic piston lifts the can up, while the two seaming rollers move in to seal the can end to the can body.
Now the can is ready for packing.
