BEER FILLER FOR GLASS AND PET BOTTLES
Rinsing, Bottling, and Capping machines are specially designed for filling alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers into plastic or glass bottles. Also, by pressurizing the product boiler using nitrogen gas, noncarbonated beverages such as water and fruit juice can be bottled. Bottling stages are controlled by a high-tech, non-cam electro-pneumatic system.
Available in different sizes of bottling machines, ranging from 16 valves to 100 valves, with a capacity of up to 40,000 bottles per hour.
Product info:
Rinsing:
In this section, bottles are sprayed with water and washed before filling. Empty bottles are turned upside down by holding the neck part using special grippers. After the water spraying process, the bottles are returned to their normal position after being moved upside down for a while to drain the water.
Bottling:
To prevent any air intake into the bottles, a “double-stage air evacuation system” is applied specifically for filling beer bottles. This system is used to minimize the air remaining in the bottle after the filling. This ensures foaming during filling is reduced and the shelf life of the beer is extended.
The filling process is carried out under the pressure of carbon dioxide gas. Advanced technology is used to control the filling stages with an electro-pneumatic system. This system provides flexibility in determining pressurization, filling, settling, and gas evacuation times that vary according to the type of beer and filling temperatures.
Product input:
Special “Product Input Group” ensures that the beer is fed calmly and without turbulence to prevent foaming during the transport of the beer into the product boiler. The electronic system, in which the gas pressure and product levels are constantly controlled, consists of the following parts:
- Heat sensor
- Proportional product inlet valve
- CO2 intake valve
- CO2 discharge valve (on the product boiler)
- Pressure sensor
CIP (Clean in Place) (sanitation):
With the closed-circuit cycle CIP solutions, the detergent solution followed by clean water, is continuously circulated in the inlet pipes and fittings, product boiler, and filling valves, to ensure the highest hygiene levels.
Capping:
Alternative capping groups with plastic caps, aluminum caps, or metal crown caps can be mounted on the mono-block body. In addition, if the ability to apply more than one type of cap in a single machine is desired, two or three separate capping groups can be placed on a single chassis.
Advantages:
- The Electro-pneumatic system provides flexibility in determining pressurization, filling, settling, and degassing times
- Noncarbonated beverages such as water and fruit juice can also be bottled by pressurizing the product boiler using sterile air or nitrogen gas
- The “Neck Conveying System” for plastic bottles reduces mold change time and investment cost
- The Central Lubrication group situated in a single part of the machine provides easy lubrication
- Panels with colorful and wide touchscreens provide ease of operation
