Description :
The machine is manufactured of stainless steel and food-friendly plasts of different thicknesses.
Construction is on four lockable wheels for easy transport of the machine.
This double-block machine has been designed to assist in filling carbonated or non-carbonated beverages into aluminium or stainless steel cans. Two units in one compact block with a steel base on wheels. Filling the cans + closing the cans.
Special optional equipment for the filling beverages into glass bottles :
1st section : filling the cans
First the single or double pre-evacuation of oxygen is carried out inside the empty cans, by means of an external high vacuum pump.
A purge of CO2 blow out quickly the oxygen from the cans. The filling process starts automatically by gradual balanced the pressure from tank to cans.
The second pre-evacuation of oxygen is preceded by a CO2 injection, in order to move the rest of oxygen up to the upper part of the can.
This system guarantees an excellent result in terms content of dissolved oxygen in the beverage : <50ppb
At the end of the pre-filling process, the pressure compensation occurs between the can and the isobaric tank.
The type of deflector installed determines the correct flow of the product along inner surface of the cans.
The final level of product inside the cans is determined by the interchangeable devices depending on the capacity of the can and the filling level required.
The last phase, the cans will be de-pressurized, controlled by an opening and closing timer in order to gently release the pressure in the cans with creation of foam in the can throat.
The creation of a foam ensures that the oxygen cannot enter in the cans before they are closed.
By modifying the depressurization times, the operator can set more or less foam before the closing of the cans.
- Six filling positions
- Isobaric filling of carbonated beverage into six cans in the same time (in standard)
- Filling beverages into aluminium cans (in standard)
- Filling beverages into glass bottles (only with optional equipment)
- The filling process takes place automatically, the operator only has to place all the cans on the input conveyor belt and remove them in the end of the process from the output conveyor belt.
- Pre-evacuation (only with optional equipment) : First the single or double pre-evacuation of oxygen is carried out inside the empty cans, by means of an external vacuum pump
- The second pre-evacuation of oxygen is preceded by a CO2 injection, in order to lift the rest of oxygen to the upper part of the can.
- This system guarantees an excellent result in terms of dissolved oxygen – less than 28 ppb is reached in beverage in the cans.
- At the end of the can filling process, the pressure compensation occurs between the can and the isobaric tank, and the beverage flowes up to the level of the level devices.
- The type of deflector installed determines the correct flow while measures a level through the walls of the can.
- The level of product inside the cans is determined by the interchangeable devices depending on the volume of the can and the level height required.
- In the last phase, the cans are de-pressurized, controlled by an opening and closing timer in order to gently release the pressure and avoid extremely foaming.
- The controlled creation of a foam avoid entering of the oxygen in the cans before they are closed.
- By modifying the depressurization times, the operator can set more or less foam.
Filling the cans
2nd section : closing the cans (on a can seamer)
The purpose of the automatic cclosing unit is to close the cans with steel caps.
The closing system is usable just for standard diameter of the cans.
The closing unit is made of hardened steel and it doesn’t lose its strength in the time.
The closing unit has also a feeder for the caps. It is made of INOX 304 stainless steel. The caps are orientated automatically before the can closing.
The closure unit captures the cap from the feeder and inserts it in the closing head.
- Single automatic capping head with a caps sorter & with automatic feed of caps to the closing head
- Closing the cans with steel caps
Operating cycle:
- Manual loading the cans on the input conveyor belt – the input convecor belt can be connected on the output conveyor belt of other machine (for example a can rinsing machine, a can labelling machine etc.)
- Automatic moving the cans to the filling positions.
- The cans are lifted pneumatically under the filling valve.
- The vacuum system sucks air out of the can.
- The machine fills cans with carbon dioxide from the external CO2 pressure bottle (not from a filling tank).
- The vacuum system sucks air out of the cans.
- The machine fills the cans with carbon dioxide from the external CO2 pressure bottle (not from the filling tank)
- The vacuum system sucks air out of the cans.
- The machine achieves pressure stability and starts the filling beverage into the cans.
- The machine lowers the level of pressure.
- The cans are moved down from the filling valves.
- The the cans are moved autoatically to the can closing unit
- The cans are closed with lids automatically using a can seamer.
- Manual unloading the cans from the output conveyor belt – the output convecor belt can be connected to the intput conveyor belt of other machine (for example machine for the can outside rinsing, can labelling machine etc.)
