INFEED AIR CONVEYOR

The empty bottles are loaded manually onto the in feed air conveyor where air at high pressure from a blower is used for conveying bottles supported at the neck upto the infeed bottle transfer rotor. The air conveyor permits different bottle sizes to run without making any adjustments. Hence there is no wastage of time in conveyor adjustment on the in feed side.

INFEED BOTTLE TRANSFER ROTOR

The bottles are transferred to rinse rotor by the in feed bottle transfer rotor. Bottles are held at the neck during transfer.

• RINSE ROTAR

The automatic rinse rotor has spring loaded grippers mounted radially which pick up bottles one by one from the infeed transfer rotor. The bottle is inverted against a lever on the rinse valve to start the rinsing operation. Thus we have NO BOTTLE – NO RINSE. Bottles are washed for upto three seconds each, before draining (for removal of residual water) and up righting for transfer to the filling rotor. The rinsing medium is generally product water.

• FILLING ROTOR

The internationally accepted and approved VENT PIPE filling principle ensures accurate level filling without spillage. The filling accuracy is +- 5ml. The fill tank level is regulated automatically by a PLC controlled electronic probe which reduces the machine speed in the vent of disrupted input product water supply. The machine speed is them restored to normal once the water supply is replenished.

• CAP PICKING ROTAR

After completion of the filling operation, bottles are transferred to the capping rotor by the out cap picking rotor, the bottles neck is picking up caps. With NO BOTTLE NO CAP arrangement is there.

• AUTOMATIC CAP ELEVATOR

Caps are stored in a SS 304 ground level hopper mounted at the base on the elevator column. The caps are elevated/oriented and they are diverted into the cap chute leading to the filling machine. The operation of the elevator is controlled automatically by a control panel mounted sensors, stops the cap elevator automatically once the chute gets filled to capacity and restarts it on the caps get consumed.
