Technical 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 or aluminium cans with can lids. Two units in one compact block with a steel base on wheels.
- The CO² flushing system allows our customers to reach better levels of TPO (Total Pick up of Oxygen).
Two different filling systems included in one machine :
a) The bottle filling configuration :
b) The can filling configuration :
Hugely improved design with many new and enhanced features :
Filling turret with electropneumatic counterpressure valves
Counter-pressure filling turret, supplied with six electropneumatic valves suitable for filling carbonated products into glass bottles and aluminium cans.
Automatic filling turret height adjustment.
- The filling turret has a tank with a mirror polished internal surface and a level control probe.

- Easy and rapid can/bottle format changeover
- Stored recipes for both cans and bottles to manage easily different formats
- Automatic setting of heights and levelling through recipes for both cans and bottles
How the machine works :
- The filler is suitable for counter pressure filling with CO² flushing for a true counterpressure at an average of 3 bars pressure. (Maximum working pressure is 6 bar)
- The feeding mechanism works in a linear mode and moves 6 cans or bottles one after the other below the filling heads, one can or bottle to each filling valve.
- When all six cans or bottles have reached their correct filling position the pneumatic cylinders under each valve lift the cans/bottles and put them in direct contact with the filling valves, sealing the neck.
At this point the filling cycles starts and does the following:
| Step : |
Filling the bottles : | Filling the cans : |
| 1 | Pre-evacuation of air inside the bottle (can be set for a single or double pre-evacuation). | Pressurises the cans with carbon dioxide from the external CO² pressurised supply bottles. |
| 2 | Vacuum is created inside of the bottle. | Flushing of the inside of the cans by flow of virgin carbon dioxide to remove the oxygen inside the cans, and at the same time by extracting the air via the snift valve. |
| 3 | Flushing of the inside of the bottles by flow of virgin carbon dioxide to remove the oxygen inside the bottles, and at the same time by extracting the air via the snift valve. | Pressurising a second time the cans with carbon dioxide from the filling tank. |
| 4 | Counterpressure filling the bottles is performed. | Counterpressure filling the cans is performed. |
| 5 | Stabilising pause to let the beverage product settle inside the bottles and to prevent its foaming. | Stabilising pause to let the beverage product settle inside the cans and to prevent its foaming. |
| 6 | Degassing the bottles (by the snifting valve) | Degassing the cans (by the snifting valve) |
Can lids feed mechanism :
Feeder mechanism for the bottles crown caps and the aluminium cans lids :
Can lids applying and seaming mechanism :
- Once filled the cans or bottles are moved from the filling station and transported by the conveyor to the capping units.
- During this journey a lids dispenser positions one lid on each can that passes underneath it or the crown cap dispenser positions one crown cap on each bottle.
- Just before picking up the lid or capping it is possible to add a hot water injection to create an explosive foaming eliminate any rest air inside the neck of the can/bottle (optional equpment – the fobbing device).
- Above the lids dispenser there is a lid buffer that can be filled up on-line. The lid magazine can hold up to 800 lids, offering approximately one hour of total autonomy of production.
- When the can with the lid is 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.
- On the other hand, when the bottle is beneath the crown cap head, a pneumatic piston lifts the bottle up to the pneumatic capping head completing the capping cycle.
- Now the can/bottle is ready for packing. Each container is transported by the conveyor to the accumulation table or packing station.
In additional the machine is provided with:
- CO² injection set is provided with globe valves made in stainless steel.
