III. Automatic machine for the capping the bottles
The one-head automatic capping unit with maximal throughput 2.700 bottles per hour, is suitable for the application of aluminium caps on cylindrical glass bottles with diameter between 30 mm and 115mm and height from 160 to 355mm.
The crown caps (or optionally other types of the caps) are dosed through automatic vibration feeder directly on the bottles.
The capping head is operated by an electrical motor mounted on a slider with expansion pulley allowing increase or reduce the rotation speed of the threading head sinking on the caps to be closed through a special plastic cam working at the centre. Therefore distributing the loads is in a balanced way and guaranteeing a long life.
The change of the parts and the height adjustment are rapid and simple, the head lifting is mechanical and happens manually through a hand-wheel operating on the endless screw reducer; special safety devices stop immediately the machine in case of problems to avoid breakages the bottles and any other anomalies.

IV. Rotary tables for the manual loading and unloading the bottles/cans
V. Conveyors for transporting the bottles/cans between all units
- The complete conveyors set made in AISI 304 stainless steel, with wear-proof plastic rollers and sliding profiles.
- Table top type conveyor belt, AISI 304 stainless steel (or Delrin) made.
- Bottles are guided by stainless steel plus plastic contact profiles side guard-rails, adjustable in width.
- Infeed device to space out the bottles/cans by pneumatic lever.
- Infeed device to center the bottles/cans before every operations with micrometric adjustment in width by hand wheel.
- Device to stabilize the bottles/cans during the labelling and wiping with micrometric adjustment in height by hand wheel with synchronized speed to the one of the conveyors.
- The infeed gate lock device can be manually or automatically operated.
1st operation : Loading the bottles or cans on the infeed rotary table (may be replaced with a infeed conveyor)
The cans and bottles are manually loaded on the rotary input table, then they are automatically transported with a conveyor to the main monoblock to be ready for the rinsing, filling and capping .
The input rotary table may be optionally replaced with a conveyor that transportes the bottles and cans from other machine.
- Infeed rotary table for manual loading the bottles and cans – diameter 800 mm
2nd operation : Labelling the bottles (and cans, if is needed)
The cans and the bottles are transported with the conveyor to the labelling unit to applying self-sdhesive labels.
3rd operation : Rinsing the bottles or cans on the rinsing turret equipped with six grippers
The cans and bottles are spaced by an infeed snail to allow the rinser’s pincers to pick them up.
Once the cans or bottles are in the correct position , they are picked up by the pincers and upturned to the rear section of the rinser, where they are rinsed with the water jets.
The drain water is collected via a collector under the jets, and the then may be drained away or recycled, filtered and re-used as required (optional kit extra is needed).
After the rinse cycle is completed the bottles and cans are re-positioned onto the conveyor belt and the infeed snail moves them over towards the filling unit.
4th operation : Filling the cans and bottles on the filling unit equipped with electropneumatic counterpressure valves
The filling unit is suitable for counter pressure filling the bottles and cans with carbonated beverages, with CO² flushing, with a counterpressure up to 3 bars.
The feeding mechanism works in a linear step -by-step mode and moves six bottles or cans one after the other inside the filling unit to be positioned one bottle/can to each filling valve.
When all six bottles/cans have reached their correct filling position, the pneumatic cylinders under each valve lift the bottles/cans and put them in direct contact with the filling valves, sealing the neck.
Phases of the bottle filling process (valid also for cans)
1st phase | First pre-vacuumation | After the lifting of the bottle, the vacuum pump starts - exhausting air from bottle |
2nd phase | First CO2 injection | The vacuuming pipe is closed and the injection of CO2 starts - filling bottle with CO2 |
3rd phase | Second pre-vacuumation | The valve for the CO2 closes and the vacuuming pump starts - exhausting CO2 from bottle |
4th phase | Second CO2 injection | The vacuum pipe stays open for a very short time while the CO2 is opening and then it is closed |
5th phase | Filling the beverage | When the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure in the upper filling tank the filling valves is open and the filling process of the bottle starts |
6th phase | End of filling | When the filling of the bottle is finished, after a short pause, the snift is open for degassing of the bottle |
7th phase | Degassing | The electro mechanical valve opens and degasses the bottle |
All of the above mention cycles are adjustable and recordable in the PLC so that they can be verified and used in future.
5th operation : Capping the bottles and cans
- Capping the bottles with crown corks on the pneumatic capping turret equipped with the large capacity crown caps feeder
- Capping the cans with aluminium caps on the rotary seamer
Once filled the cans are moved away from the filling star-wheel and transported by the bottle conveyor to the cans 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 fobbing device to eliminate any air inside the neck of the can (optional).
In the upper part of the lid distributor there is a revolving turret with 6 lid feeding cylinders. The cylinders 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 300 lids each, offering approximately one hour of total autonomy of production with all 6 full cylinders.
Extra kits of stainless steel cylinders are available as optional equipment to reduce stoppage time between refills.
When the can with the lid (now in a correct position), is under the cans 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.
Bottle cappping unit (crown caps ):
Bottle cappping unit (ROPP caps ) – optional :
Cans seamer :
6th operation : Washing the full bottles/cans
The full bottles/cans are washed to remove residual foam from the outside of the bottles/cans.
7th operation : Unloading the full bottles or cans from the outfeed rotary table (may be replaced with an outfeed conveyor)
The cans and bottles are manually unloaded from the rotary output table.
The output rotary table may be optionally replaced with a conveyor that transportes the full bottles and cans to an other machine.
Control panel (touch display) :
