MACHINES FOR BOTTLING OF FOOD LIQUIDS

Bottle Rinsing Machines (Rinsers)

Rinsers are designed to pre-rinse brand new glass and plastic bottles (PET type) prior to passing them over for filling. Rinsers have their own motor drives and their output settings can be adjusted by means of a frequency converter. They are equipped with a protective outer liner. Custom made based on client needs and requirements.

Automated Bottle Filling and Capping Machines (Fillers and Cappers)

Fillers and cappers are designed to fill liquid foods into plastic (PET) or glass bottles, and to subsequently cap full bottles using either plastic screw caps, or aluminum (pilfer-proof type) caps. By function, fillers and cappers fall into two major categories:

• Fillers and cappers intended for bottling of non-carbonated (soft) drinks
• Fillers and cappers intended for bottling of carbonated drinks

Production output of fillers and cappers can widely vary based on bottle volume. Bottle- filling is done according to a set level. Each filler and capper unit has its own motor drive and its output settings can be adjusted by means of a frequency converter. Custom made based on client needs and requirements.

Bottle Rinsing and Filling Machine (Rinser and Filler Unit)

Designed to rinse and fill up bottles by level. Intended to fill non-carbonated drinks and mineral water into bottles of higher volumes (5 l or 10 l). The machine has its own motor drive and its output settings can be adjusted by means of a frequency converter.

Bottle Filling Machines (Fillers)

Fillers are designed to fill carbonated or non-carbonated drinks into plastic (PET) or glass bottles. Bottle- filling is done according to a set level. Each filler unit has its own motor drive and its output settings can be adjusted by means of a frequency converter. Custom made based on client needs and requirements.

Automated Screw Cap Bottle Cappers

Designed to cap bottles using either plastic screw caps, or aluminum (pilfer-proof type) caps. The machine is fully automated. Capping is done by means of a magnetic capping head or a closing pilfer-proof type of head. Capper is equipped with a mechanism for cap orientation and with a cap feeding gear. Capper has its own motor drive and its output setting can be adjusted by means of a frequency converter. Custom made based on client needs and requirements.

Drink Carbonation Installation

Drink carbonation installations form an integral part of automated carbonated drink production lines. In general, these fall into two major categories according to the type of carbonated drinks:

• Installations intended for syrup drinks (intermix) carbonation
• Installations intended for table and mineral water carbonation

Drink carbonation installations are custom designed and manufactured based on capacity requirements.

Transport Systems

Transport systems form an integral part of bottle filling lines. They are designed to transport bottles from one machine to another in the production line. Conveyors fall into two major types:

• Belt conveyors (linear and angle), featuring stainless steel plate chains, single track, multi track and buffer sections
• Air conveyors. Air conveyor systems convey empty PET bottles using the momentum generated by air jets. Bottles are transported by means of special guides held by the neck.

Transport systems are manufactured in separate modules, their length ranging according to bottle filling line settings.

Bottle Accumulation Table

Can be custom made based on production needs for use with bottle conveyors as an additional buffer. Laterally mounted to a straight run conveyor of no less than two lanes. In case of conveyor overflow, bottles are being redirected to the accumulation table turning in two directions by means of independent impellents. When conveyor flow reduces, bottles are being again shoved onto the lane. Accumulation table capacity depends on bottle type, number of conveyor lanes and their respective length.
