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 in glass bottles with crown caps. Two units in one compact block with a steel base on wheels. Filling the bottles + capping the bottles with crown caps
Special optional equipment for the filling beverages into aluminium cans :
1st section : filling the bottles (or cans)
First the single or double pre-evacuation of oxygen is carried out inside the empty bottles, by means of an external high vacuum pump.
A purge of CO2 blow out quickly the oxygen from the bottles. The filling process starts automatically by gradual balanced the pressure from tank to bottles.
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 bottle.
This system guarantees an excellent result in terms content of dissolved oxygen in the beverage :
<28ppb for bottles
<50ppb for cans
At the end of the pre-filling process, the pressure compensation occurs between the bottle and the isobaric tank.
The type of deflector installed determines the correct flow of the product along inner surface of the bottles.
The final level of product inside the bottles is determined by the interchangeable devices depending on the capacity of the bottle and the filling level required.
The last phase, the bottles will be de-pressurized, controlled by an opening and closing timer in order to gently release the pressure in the bottles with creation of foam in the bottle throat.
The creation of a foam ensures that the oxygen cannot enter in the bottles before they are closed.
By modifying the depressurization times, the operator can set more or less foam before the capping of the bottles.
- Six filling positions
- Isobaric filling of carbonated beverage into six bottles in the same time (in standard)
- Gravity filling of non-carbonated beverage into six bottles in the same time (in standard)
- Filling beverages into glass bottles (in standard)
- Filling beverages into aluminium cans (only with optional equipment)
- The filling process takes place automatically, the operator only has to place all the bottles 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 bottles, 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 bottle.
- This system guarantees an excellent result in terms of dissolved oxygen – less than 28 PPB is reached in beverage in the bottles.
- At the end of the bottle filling process, the pressure compensation occurs between the bottle 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 bottle.
- The level of product inside the bottles is determined by the interchangeable devices depending on the capacity of the bottle and the level height required.
- In the last phase, the bottles 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 bottles before they are closed.
- By modifying the depressurization times, the operator can set more or less foam.
a) Filling the glass bottles
b) Filling the aluminium cans
2nd section : capping the bottles
The purpose of the automatic capper machine, is to close the glass bottles with crown caps of the with diameters 26mm and/or 29mm.
The closing system is usable just for one size: 26 or 29mm diameter.
If both sizes are required then it will be supplied an additional unit with the other format.
The capping head is made of hardened steel and it doesn’t lose its strength in the time.
The capping unit has also a feeder for each size of caps. It is made of INOX 304 stainless steel. The caps are orientated automatically before the bottle capping.
The closure unit captures the cap from the feeder and inserts it in the closing head.
- Single automatic capping head with a crown caps sorter & with automatic feed of crown caps to the capping head
- Closing the bottles with steel crown caps (in standard version)
- Closing the aluminium cans with aluminium lids (only with optional equipment or in optional version)
Operating cycle:
- Manual loading the bottles on the input conveyor belt – the input convecor belt can be connected on the output conveyor belt of other machine (for example bottle rinsing machine, bottle labelling machine etc.)
- Automatic moving the bottles to the filling positions.
- The bottles are lifted pneumatically under the filling valve.
- The vacuum system sucks air out of the bottle.
- The machine fills bottles with carbon dioxide from the external CO2 pressure bottle (not from a filling tank).
- The vacuum system sucks air out of the bottle.
- The machine fills the bottles with carbon dioxide from the external CO2 pressure bottle (not from the filling tank)
- The vacuum system sucks air out of the bottle.
- The machine achieves pressure stability and starts the filling beverage into the bottles.
- The machine lowers the level of pressure.
- The bottles are moved down from the filling valves.
- The the bottles are moved autoatically to the bottle capping unit
- The bottles are closed with crown caps automatically using a pneumatically driven capping head.
- Manual unloading the bottles 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 bottle outside rinsing, bottle labelling machine etc.)
