L08CK (S) – Continuous liquid dispensing/tapping machine

Structure and safety

• Main structure in anodised aluminium profile, completely covered with stainless steel panels. Entry and exit belts with single motorisation: adjustable stainless steel and polyethylene guides.
• A singularising system with a motorised auger (format) transports the bottles to the dosing station.
• Protection cabin in anodised aluminium profile and Lexan panels with mechanical safety devices. Stainless steel electrical and control panel installed on board the machine.

Dosing system

The filling unit is based on the RAV L08 inline liquid filling machine. It comes with 8 pistons with a volumetric dosing capacity of up to 250 ml (different formats on request). Production can reach a nominal speed of up to 10,000 pcs/h (to be verified with product and bottles).

• AISI 316 stainless steel dispensing needles and cylinders with pneumatic valves: electronic adjustment of dispensing volume from operator panel via 4 electric pistons (one for each pair of dispensers)
• Needle movement with adjustable speed via inverter and potentiometer
• Minimal costs and time for changing the format of bottles of different shapes and sizes.

Capping System

The continuous rotary capping unit is based on the CAP-R machine, a high-speed capping machine with 1 or 2 units each with 8 capping heads. The continuous movement of the main star wheels allows a production speed of 180 pieces/min to be achieved. Specially designed for pressure, screw or aluminium caps + second under/over closing system (dropper, overcap, etc.).

• 1 or 2 cap feeders with stainless steel vibrating bowl, Ø 600 mm, complete with soundproofing and adjustable pedestal and each equipped with stainless steel feed elevator (capacity approx. 100 l)

• 1 or 2 cap feeding systems with extraction/positioning system. Double closing unit with 8 closing heads each: one for pressure caps (dropper), and the second for screw caps with adjustable rotation speed and magnetic clutch for closing torque calibration

Logic Controls

• Logic control based on Siemens S7 CPU 1200 PLC with special modules for axis control, fast counting and net weight control system.
• Operator interface via Siemens SIMATIC Touch Screen, with alarm list, setup functions and parameter editing.

Checkpoints and alarms

• Minimum and maximum bottle load on the belt (stand by)
• Presence of bottle in dosing
• Minimum cap load (stand by)
• Cap presence (stop)
