Automatic Distilled 20 Liter bottle mineral Water Filling Machine 5
Gallon bottling Line
5 gallon filling machine
One of our core business is today represented by designing and
manufacturing of complete lines for 5 Gallon bottles, with a
production capacity from 100 to 3.000 B.P.H. the 5 gallon filling
lines are designed following 2 main guidelines:
Product hygienic safety: Guaranteed by Tongguan machinery’s advanced washing cycle studied
in cooperation with the main multinational chemical companies.
Flexibility: in order to customize the machines on the different requirements
in terms of bottle shape, dimension, capacity, washing standard.
Washer
After years of experience in washing process, our washing machine
for 5 Gallons, manufactured in different sizes from 100 to
3.000b/h, is able to guarantee the highest level of bottle hygienic
quality today on the market.
TIME
The treatment time is the result of a washing cycle which can be
customized in terms of number of stations and phases according to
the customer standard and requirements. Our recommended washing
cycle provides 6 main phases:
1. PREWASH - 2. DETERGENT - 3. FIRST RINSE - 4. SANITIZING - 5.
SECOND RINSE - 6. FINAL RINSE
TEMPERATURE
The constant monitoring of the temperature is paramount in order to
wash the bottles according to the preset values (between 60 and
65°C). An alarm stops the washer in case these set points are not
respected.
PRESSURE
To optimize the washing process, the washer is equipped with high
pressure system, which: * Allows to increase the pressure of the
washing jet up to 6 bar
* Can be installed on one or more station of the washing phase
* It's particularly indicated for difficult-to-clean bottles
(hollow handles, shaped bottles)
CHEMICAL %
In cooperation with the main multinational chemical company, we
have developed a cleaning protocol in order to guarantee, after the
washing treatment, a bottle consistent to the international
hygienic norms and standards. This protocol recommends specific
products of different brand, suitable concentration and temperature
of the solution (water + chemical product) for each phase of the
washing cycle.
MECHANICAL ACTION
* Neck Handling
This patented system to grip the neck of the bottle, guarantees
important advantages as: * The possibility to use an high
pressure washing jet
* The washing of the external part of the bottle inside the washer,
thanks to the possibility of the bottle rotation under the action
of brushes
* The washing of the bottle neck
* Washing Rotating Nozzles
The washer is fitted with double washing rotating nozzles which
guarantee the following advantages: * The jet of water hits not
only the bottom, but the handle and the walls too.
* The nozzles are self-cleaning (the water flow is inverted at the
passing of each bottle) and the washing efficiency is therefore
guaranteed.The disassembly for maintenance is considerably reduced.
* The beam carrying the bottles is synchronized with the nozzle
even in case of chain extension.
* Rotary Brushing
Brushes are motorised and clean the bottle externally. Since they
make the bottle spin, the water jet hits not only the bottom but
also the sides of the bottle.
Filler
Fillers for water in large containers fulfills the following
requirements: * The filling process avoids the contact between the
valve and the neck of the bottle (risk of contamination transfer).
* The filling process is electronically controlled to ensure into
the bottle the predetermined volume of water.
* The filling valve and all the piping, valves etc. in contact with
the product have a sanitary design and are made of SS.316
* All parts in contact with the product are prearranged for 3 or 5
steps CIP (cleaning in place) sterilization treatment.
* The filling cabinet is equipped with over pressure air flow. A
minimum class 1000 air filtration is guaranteed, so as to protect
the filling environment from the external ambient contamination.
* The washer and filler is "in block" in order to avoid the
potential contamination of the clean bottles travelling from the
washer outlet to the filling area.
Ultra Clean Filler
In order to satisfy the most strict hygienic demands, Bardi has
developed an Ultra-clean monoblock with the following features:
* Filling cabinet:* The filling cabinet has been reduced to the essential.
* The cabinet is provided with HEPA filters.
* The execution of the cabinet in aisi 316 without dead ends
according to the strictest hygiene design requirements.
* All mechanical and pneumatic gears have been installed outside
the cabinet.
* All surfaces are subjected to automatic CIP cleaning.
* Capper:* The caps are treated with sterilized air before entering the high
hygiene filling area.
* The bottle leaves the filling room with the cap on top of the
neck (nothing can contaminate the bottle).
The PRESS-ON CAPPER
The PRESS-ON CAPPER is a linear machine used for caps applied on
the bottle by pressure. It includes:
* Cap hopper
* Canal chute
* Placing system of cap on the neck
* Device to snap the cap on the neck
* Specific systems to sterilize the caps in order to avoid the
contact of contaminating agents present on the cap with the bottle
neck The bottle takes the cap directly from the canal chute. The
snapping of the cap on the bottle neck is carried out through the
pressure developed by a belt conveyor, provided with a system to
adjust the force in order not to stress the bottle.
Electronic Screw CapperThe electronic screw capper stands out because of its operating
simplicity and precision.
* The system doesn't require stars, mechanical clutches, or complex
lifting mechanisms.
* The closing torque can be set from touch screen; the vectorial
frequency converter allows to manage it with high precision.
* The handling parts to move the bottle in the machine are reduced
to the minimum, so as the change-over downtimes.
PalletizerMain features:
* 100% machine designed expressely for 5 gallon palletizing (heavy
duty application).
* Very simple and reliable machine, which doesn't need brushless
motors or any other sofisticated mechanism to work.
* Bottle transfer system from the conveyor to the rack pocket
doesn't grip the bottle by the neck. This avoids the manipulation
of the cap, which is a very sensitive area.
* The machine is managed by a Touch screen control panel.
* The machine is provided with overload safety device.
* The price, compared to robots, is very competitive.
* Very flexible bottles introduction on the racks, based on a slide
+ pusher: this ensures much more tolerance than conventional neck
gripping mechanism.
The decapper
The decapper is designed to remove the cap from the returned
bottles.The Plc manages all automatic and manual functions and
allows to records statistics regarding the incoming bottles. This
unit can be up-graded to recognize and discard potentially
contaminated bottles.
A combination of digital camera and fibre optic detectors allow to
reject the bottles returned in the following conditions:
* Bottles without caps.
* Caps without plugs.
* Caps with just the top part left.
* Caps partially opened.
* Not removed caps.
The leak tester is designed to recognize and reject leaking
bottles. The working principle is to pressurize the containers for
a predetermined period of time and measure the potential losses.
The Plc manages all automatic and manual functions and allows to
record statistics regarding the faulty bottles.
* Reliable and accurate leak detection of cracks min. diameter of
0,2 mm.
* No bottle mechanical stress.
* Auto-rejection station.
* Touch-screen and microprocessor-based control.
* Robust stainless steel execution.
C.I.P. System
To obtain a good hygienic condition of the bottles, the first step
is to sterilize the parts in touch with the product. This can
be achieved through the CIP unit which can work in automatic or
semi-automatic modality and with hot or cold solution.
