Description :

Structure of the machine:
Painted steel frame covered with stainless steel plates.
Machine on 4 lockable wheels for easy moving of the filler-block in client’s factory.

This machine has been designed to assist in filling carbonated or non-carbonated beverages into aluminium cans. Two phases of the can filling process in one compact block with a steel base on wheels : rinsing + filling.

Recommended to use witn an external can capping unit (the can seamer)

 

1st section : Can rinsing unit – equipment to rinsing the cans with pure water or with a chemical sterilizing solution

Easy cleanable stainless steel base with recessed working area to prevent product and water spillage. Safe spray activation system – if a can is not inserted then the spray nozzle is not active.

  • Six rinsing positions
  • Rinsing six cans in the same time (in standard)
  • 1st rinsing cycle (in standard) : one-way water
  • 2nd rinsing cycle (only with optional equipment) : recirculating solution (for example alkaline sanitizing solution)
  • 3nd rinsing cycle (only with optional equipment) : one-way water (for example sterile water)
  • 4rd rinsing cycle (only with optional equipment) : recirculating solution (for example sterilizing solution based on alcohol)
  • 5th rinsing cycle (only with optinal equipment) : sterile air (drying the cans)

Can rinsing unit

 

 

2nd section : Can filling unit – equipment to filling beverage into the cans (counterpressure filler)

  • Six filling positions
  • Isobaric filling of carbonated beverage into six cans in the same time (in standard)
  • Gravity filling of non-carbonated beverage into six cans in the same time (in standard)
  • Filling beverages into aluminium cans (in standard)
  • The filling process takes place automatically, the operator only has to place all the cans on the supports and remove them in the end of the process
  • 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 cans.
    • This system guarantees an excellent result in terms of dissolved oxygen – less than 28 PPB is reached in beverage in the cans.
    • Injecton of carbon dioxide into high space of the cans prior to closing to remove residual oxygen in the can head space.
  • 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 capacity 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.

Operating cycle description :

  1. Rinse the isobaric tank with ice water to reduce the temperature in the tank and to achieve reduce foaming of beverage.
  2. Fill the source tank with a beverage intended to be filled into the cans.
  3. Remove the air from the tank by carbon dioxide.
  4. Place the cans in the rinsing positions.
  5. Activate the can rinsing process by a switch on the PLC control panel.
  6. Place the cans on the filling positions
  7. The machine is then activated by means of pressing two buttons simultaneously
  8. The safety door comes down automatically (they are pneumatically driven)
  9. The cans are lifted automatically under the filling valves
  10. The vacuum system sucks air out of the can
  11. The machine fills the can with fresh carbon dioxide from the CO² pressure bottle (not from the filling tank)
  12. The vacuum system sucks air out of the can
  13. The machine fills the can with carbon dioxide from the header tank
  14. The machine achieves stability of pressure and starts filling the beverage into the can
  15. The machine snifts the fill level gently (in three micro-impulses) as to prevent foaming
  16. The cans lower down from the valve to the rest position
  17. The safety door opens automatically and the cans are removed manually and transferred to the capping unit
  18. Activate the can capping process by a pushing the can holder in the capping machine
  19. The can is closed with aluminium caps automatically using an automatic seaming head.
  20. Remove the can out from the capping machine.

Remote assistance

Do you want to save your money ? Are you technically skilled and not afraid of challenges? Do your country’s hygienic restrictive regulations not allow a visit of a specialized technician from a foreign country? Don’t be afraid to use the remote assistance service.

 

How is the installation of the filling line by our customer, using our remote assistance?

1.) The customer positiones all the machines and connects them to power guided by our checklist.

2.) Once photos were sent of the completion of the preliminary phase we proceeds with the start up and commissioning.

3.) First we connects the PLC of the machine via internet to our service console in our factory — this allows our service manager to view and control your PLC on a remote screen, as if he was in front of the machine in person.

4.) We then organise a Microsoft Teams conference call, with one your worker holding the camera, and the others working around the our technician´s instructions.

5.) After only 3-5 days setting up and configuring, first full aluminium cans will leave your filling line.
