The inside of the bottle is flushed by spraying water and/or air. Empty bottles move through the inlet neck guide to the spin rinse section. The bottle is held by the neck and turned over by a guide rod along its axis. After spraying the inside, the bottle keeps running upside down for a while to expel the rinse water. After that, the bottle will return to its original position.
The juice filling operation is by gravity. RECIRCULATING VALVE (mechanical valve) which features 10-15% juice temperature upto the tip of the filling valve constant, hence maintaining product safety without any manual intervention. The valve has a bottom seal design and zero drip after filling, has CIP capability and fills very fast due to its superior design.
Another valve option is a top closing straight valve with pumped return from the hopper. This is also an efficient and cost-saving design. A flow meter option is now available with a pneumatically actuated valve (electronic fill valve) for very accurate can filling.
Various capping heads can be installed on the monobloc machine to apply plastic screw caps, aluminum caps and metal crown caps. There are two types of caps can be applied on the single machine in order to have capability to apply different closure.
