ELECTRO-VOLUMETRIC FILLER FOR CARBONATED DRINKS IN PET BOTTLES
MEGABLOCK-F; Rinsing, Filling and Capping machine is specially designed for filling carbonated beverages such as cola and soda into plastic bottles. Bottling stages are controlled by the latest technology Electro-Volumetric system. Non-carbonated beverages such as water and fruit juice can also be bottled.
Different sizes of bottling machines ranging from 40 valves up to 120 valves are offered to the consideration of the manufacturers, with a maximum capacity of 60.000 bottles per hour.
Rinsing:
In this section, bottles are washed before filling by spraying water into them. Empty bottles are turned upside down by using special grippers by holding them by the necks. After the water spraying process, the bottles are moved upside down for a while so that the water can drain and then returned to their normal position.
Filling:
The latest technology Electro-Volumetric Filling Machine developed for bottling carbonated soft drinks by measuring the liquid volume with electromagnetic flowmeters fastly, precisely and hygienically.
The filling steps controlled by a high-tech electronic system. This allows flexibility on the adjustment of pressurizing, filling, settling and snifting phases which may differ depending on the product and the filling temperature. Different arrangements may be recorded on the PLC and called back at any time during production.
- The filling section is available to integrate with PET Blowing Machine as a combi system (COMBIMATIC; Integrated Blowing, Filling and Capping Machine)
- Volume controlled filling system is applied with electromagnetic flowmeters.
- There are no bottle lifters.
- No Vent-Tube on filling valves. This eliminates the need for the adjustment or replacement of vent-tubes at format change. It also increases the hygiene standards of the filling system.
- Suitable for filling of carbonated and non-carbonated products in PET bottles.
- Filling level optimization is provided entirely automatically.
- Electronic control of product level and gas pressure in the filling tank facilitated by CO2 inlet and release valves and pressure sensors
- CO2 inlet proportional valve
- CO2 release proportional valve
- “Fully hygienic” product inlet proportional valve
- Electromagnetic flowmeters
CIP (sanitation): With the closed circuit cycle of CIP solutions, the detergent solution followed by clean water, are continuously circulated in the inlet pipes and fittings, product boiler and filling valves, and thus the highest hygiene level can be achieved.
Capping:
Various capping groups can be mounted on the monoblock body so that different caps can be attached.
