Can filling machine MLE CAN
DESCRIPTION
The linear monobloc MLE CAN is a high-tech great solu-tion for craft brewers aiming to sell canned beers too.This container is easier and safer to convey and reduces ageing, as it protects beer from the sunlight integrally.An infeed screw introduces cans into the monobloc and moves them below every station with perfect synchronism.
1. DOUBLE-PHASE LINEAR ELECTROPNEUMATIC RINSER-BLOWER
Double-phase rinser made in stainless steel suitable for cans with maximum diameter of 85mm. Cans are grasped from the external top rim by a pincer and turned upside down through a chain system with step-step motor. The nozzle enters the can for 15mm. The two injection circuits are completely separated. The duration of injections is adjustable through control panel and the operation occurs only when the can is present. The dripping liquid is collected in a close circuit without wetting the machine. The air injection substantially reduces the water residue in the can.
2. HIGH PRESSURE LINEAR ELECTROPNEUMATIC FILLER for cans with maximum diameter of 85mm.
For cans with maximum diameter of 85mm.Each valve includes:
Each valve includes:
- Can presence sensor.
- Pressure transducer to control the pressure in can (the valve does not start filling if the can does not reach the tank pressure)
- Electropneumatic valve on each spout, to allow, if the can is present, the injection, the pressure compensation, the auto-levelling and the de-gassing.
- Double effect electropneumatic piston on each valve for gas injection circle opening and closing.
- Double effect electropneumatic piston on each valve for gas returning circle opening and closing.
- Double effect electropneumatic piston on each valve to liquid circuit opening and closing.
- The filling level is centralized and manually adjustable. Every valve disposes of dummy can with manual positioning for the filler washing and sterilization. The valve can work both with sparkling liquid with pressure up to 4 bar and with still liquids up to 0 bar. The filling level is precise even without the levelling operation. The complete closure of the filling valve greatly improves the degassing even with difficult products. The filling valve is under patent. All circuits are canalized (even the degassing one) and the filler is set for a sterilization CIP system. The feeding from the bottom allows a natural and total emptying of the tank. The flow is adjusted by an electropneumatic valve. The injection phase before filling allows to replace the air in the can with neutral gas; in this way the oxygen contained in the can is eliminated. The gas pressure in the tank, the injection one and the one of the levelling circuit are handled by PLC. The pressure of the cans lifting pedestals is handled automatically by PLC.
3. LINEAR CAN LIDS DISPENSER WITH GAS INJECTION
The lids are singularly released from the loader and dropped on a sideshifter. The sideshifter moves the all lids simultaneously above the cans.Then, the inert gas injection are performed. At the same time, the lids are collected by the gripping devices and laid on the cans with a light pressure when the sideshifter withdraws. The circuit is completely separated. The injection duration is adjustable through controlpanel and performed only when the can is present.The neutral gas injection substantially reduce the oxygen quantity in the space underneath the lid.
4. SEAMER
4310L single-head seamer in stainless-steel to seam the lid. The intermittent star moves the can on the lifting plate, which lifts it and brings it next to the rotating spindle. While the can turns, the two rolls seams it. All operations are controlled by mechanical cams.
5. WEIGHT CONTROL
After the seaming, the can is moved on a load cell to check the weight: if it is less or more than the pre-set values, the can is then removed through the expeller included in the supply.
6. WASHING TUNNEL
Outside the monobloc there is a wa-shing tunnel for cans.On the same structure, there are four can lid storing columns/loaders to supply the distributor. The lids can be easily intro-duced into the four loaders while the monobloc is running.
