Optimised-weight level and bottling plant

It is a bottling plant that combines the characteristics of a level filling with the control of the final actual weight of the dispensed liquid. The innovation applies to the level filling machines that have an electronic adjustment of the level in the bottle. It consists in an automatic adjustment of the real level in the bottle according to the actual filled volume.

 

The solution is based on the idea of weighting all the bottles before and after their filling, in order to have a precise measure of the actually bottled product quantity. According to this figure, the filling machine automatically adjusts the actual level in the bottle, in order to dispense an optimal quantity of product, while, at the same time, ensuring an aesthetically uniform filling level.

SWAN filling system

 

Ave Technologies - Della Toffola Group present an important innovation: the SWAN filling system.

 

Distinguished by their remarkable range of function and constructive quality, the new SWAN isobaric electro-pneumatic short tube filling units are the latest and most significant technological achievement developed by AVE.

 

These systems that can fill up to 80,000 bottles/hour are built with “clean design” philosophy that makes wide use of rustproof materials in each component.

 

 

The external pressurized tank is equipped with an adjustable speed circulation pump for total control over filling head pressure. 

The machine manages three different types of process gas:

• CO2, pure at filling pressure, impure CO2 upon return from the bottle during the low-pressure isobaric filling phase for the vacuum washing of the bottle and pressurization, and lastly, for the creation of the vacuum required during bottle decompression and pre-evacuation phases.

The modular isobaric cock has two filling speeds and is provided with either a short tube or a long tube for filling from the bottom.

A dome-shaped table is used for the transfer of the bottles that promotes the drainage of water and the discharge of shards of glass. The structure is modular with clockwise/counter-clockwise configuration.

 

The machine is designed for connection to a rinser and screw or a crown capping machine whenever more than one capping machine will be used at the same time.

 

The bottle transfer table is driven by a brushless motor synchronized with the rotary filling table’s main motor.

 

The bottle synchronization screw with a brushless motor control features a built-in bottle stop device.

 

The screw system works with a fixed center that adjusts for the variation of bottle diameter and is mounted on a swinging structure that makes format change easier.

 

The bottle guide equipment and stars are in stainless steel and equipped with a rubber wear section that facilitates the cleaning of the handling system.

 

 

These machines also come with removable shields with inclined conic profile that prevents shards of glass from rebounding onto the cock after a bottle has exploded. The stainless steel bottle lifting jacks are completely pressurized in order to prevent water or impurities from being sucked back inside.

 

The SWAN filling system is the latest and most highly qualified technological innovation developed by AVE, now a Della Toffola Group company.

Automatic Flash Pasteurizer

The Flash pasteurizer is used for the processing of beer destined to keg filling. The pasteurization of the product is obtained at 71°C approximately. The product proceeding from the cellar at the storage temperature is heated by means of a first intersection with the beer coming from the heat transfer surface area and then a second intersection with the hot water circulating in the heating zone of the plate heat exchanger. Vice versa, after the pasteurization the hot beer is submitted to a first substantial cooling thanks to the intersection with the cold beer proceeding from the cellar; it finally reaches the ideal storage temperature passing through the cooling area of the plate heat exchanger. Then the beer is sent out to the buffer tank and eventually to the filling machine. Some special cycles have been introduced in order to carry out the cleaning of pipes and buffer tank. The conductivity detector allows the pasteurizer to determine which kind of liquid is flowing through the pipes in real time.

 

The true heart of the equipment is the management, control and automation program, which requires a higher level of complexity. To maintain a constant PU (Pasteurization Units) value and guarantee the product quality, our technicians have developed advanced algorithms.

 

 

 

 

3-Tank CIP system

The CIP (Cleaning In Place) system is designed to prepare, store and send the cleaning solutions off for the sanitization of those pipes and relevant devices which get in contact with the product. It consists of a group of tanks containing the cleaning solutions and a control panel.

Depending on the required configuration complexity, the CIP plant can carry out the cleaning of the pipes connecting the cellar to the filling machine or include in the cleaning process the whole of the machines installed between the cellar and the filler (Flash pasteurizers, premix, carbonators, etc…). The number of tanks and the automation level of the system can vary according to the customers’ needs: either the whole of the operations are manually controlled by the operator or a complex system automatically controls cleaning solution level, concentration, temperature and flow rate, cycle time parameters and discharge or recovery of the return solutions by means of a PLC.
The cleaning solution parameters are constantly monitored during the sanitization cycles by means of special devices that check conductivity, flow (delivery and return) and temperature in order to guarantee safety and hygiene.

The 3-tank CIP system consists of hot water, acid solution and caustic solution tanks.

A centrifugal pump sends the cleaning solutions out to the parts of the plant to be treated; the delivery pressure is controlled by a digital pressure transducer.

The three tanks are provided with level probes. The one at the bottom makes sure the liquid level doesn’t drop below the emergency limit.

The heating system is composed of a PT100 probe for the control of the liquid temperature, a heat exchanger and a superheated water circuit complete with recirculation pump and modulating valve for the flow adjustment.

Two titration systems are installed in the caustic and acid solution tanks; they consist of a conductivity probe and a centrifugal pump that guarantees a constant recirculation of the cleaning solution.

The data concerning working programs and cleaning solution successions are set in the control panel.

Before starting up the machine in automatic mode, the operator must make sure the correct temperature and concentration parameters have been set, together with the program to be carried out and the treatment times.

When the operator starts the automatic operation, the PLC checks the actual condition of the three tanks and carries out the preparation cycle if needed, restoring the correct level, temperature and titration parameters.

 

When the CIP system is ready, the unit sets itself in stand-by mode and waits for the fillers to require the cleaning solutions. The operator can select a cleaning program among those available. Each program can be composed of maximum ten independent cycles which are carried out according to the established sequence. 

When the user creates a sequence he must pay attention not to select cycles which are not compatible with each other. For example, a cleaning cycle with acid solution cannot follow a cleaning cycle with caustic solution and vice versa.

However, the PLC checks that the cycle sequence is correct and advises the user in case of mistakes, guaranteeing the system safety.

Pneumatic presses

 

The pneumatic presses presented here are complete with a tubular membrane made of non-toxic material, attached to a winged supporting element; this membrane (which always remains basically in the middle of the drum) and the supporting element are then mounted on the axle of the stainless steel perforated drum.

 

 

 

Grape sorting and washing lines

The new grape sorting lines are used to facilitate the manual grape sorting procedure required before the grapes are crushed or pressed: this has become increasingly necessary and important to companies seeking to achieve the best quality for their wines.

These lines are particularly suitable for: automatically spreading and levelling the grapes on a flat surface so that it is quicker and easier for operators on either side of the line to complete the manual sorting procedure; manually separating the mass of grapes from fragments of foliage, branches, bunches with grapes that are damaged or show signs of anthracnose, stalks, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crossflow filtering system

There is a growing propensity today for companies in the winemaking sector to implement production cycles that are increasingly automated and ensure a lower environmental impact, meeting the need to reduce production costs while preserving all the typical features of the wine being treated.

 

 

That is why Della Toffola has chosen to develop a highly innovative crossflow filtering system that uses ceramic membranes - for the first time in the winemaking sector - instead of the usual organic materials. Della Toffola has chosen this type of membrane for its unbeatable features of durability, capacity and hygiene, which would be impossible to achieve with the organic alternatives.

Gravity Filling Machine

The gravity filling machine can operate by simple gravity and, if the type of container permits, also with a slight depression in the tank which in some cases helps trigger the actual filling phase.

 

This type of machine is suitable for all so-called flat products, without co2 and not dense. Among these are water, spirits, wine, vinegar and many more.

For the gravity or slight vacuum filling machine, fimer manufactures various types of valves, each with features that make them more appropriate for the various products and, in terms of shape and material, for the container to be used.

 

 

 

Special project

In over 40 years of business activity, fimer has gained so much experience in the beverage filling sector in general that it is now able to design and implement specific solutions to also cater to special requirements.

 

And thanks to a young, dynamic and flexible management and technical staff, fimer is also able to find rational solutions for even highly complex needs. There can be no doubt that one of fimer’s strong points is flexibility.

 

Rinsing machine

The rinsing machine is designed to clean the inside of new bottles. Its function is to remove any foreign objects or dust, accidentally introduced inside the bottles.

The fimer rinsing machine is a technically advanced unit. Bottle overturning is by means of a variable-profile cam. Each spraying station is equipped with a bottle presence control system and in case of no bottle, the jet is interrupted. All the ducts which convey the rinsing product to the various spraying stations are made of stainless steel; a standard fitting of all the rinsing machines is the air blower which eliminates any drops remaining on the bottle neck during overturning.

The grippers, which are made of stainless steel, feature rubber grip pads which can be easily changed in case of differently-shaped bottle necks.
The fimer rinsing machines can feature single or double treatment, fixed nozzle or movable nozzle and can be fitted with various accessories such as for example, a rinsing product recirculation plant, manual or automatic dummy bottles for machine sterilization, and hoods for the extraction of any noxious fumes which could be harmful for operators, etc.

 

 

 

 

Monoblock

The etymology of the word monoblock immediately conveys a clear idea of what it means; a set of machines forming part of the same block.

In the case of the machines made by fimer, the term monoblock identifies a machine integrating the functions of rinsing, bottle filling, corking and capping and labelling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The advantages of a monoblock system, compared to separate machines linked to each other by conveyor belts, are: reduction of occupied space, personnel and energy consumption optimization, perfect synchronization between the various machines and absolute efficiency.

Fimer, a flexible company attentive to the needs of the market, makes its monoblock units with the direct collaboration of its customers, catering to all their different needs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isobaric filling machines

Isobaric units are able to work with all products containing co2 in higher or lower quantities. Isobaric machines can also be used for products containing no co2, so-called still products.

Isobaric filling machines can be of the conventional mechanical type, or feature electro-pneumatic operation.

The mechanical version can be equipped with filling valves of different types depending on the type of product. The “s” valve, which is also the simplest, is used for products such as water or soft drinks and its only function is pressure equalization and final decompression.

 

The ps valve pre-expels the air contained in the bottle before the pressure compensation by means of gas counter pressure. The more complicated but also more complete valves are the sl, psl, dps and dpsl where l stands for final levelling; these are particularly suitable for necks that are difficult to equalize with the isobaric machine, as in the case of the bordeaux bottle; d stands for double pre-expulsion where injection between the first and the second air pre-expulsion is through an external clean gas circuit. In the mechanical version, all these operations are controlled by cams.

The electro-pneumatic version differs substantially from the mechanical version because the different operations are part of a program and controlled by a plc with virtual cams.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

High-vacuum filling machine

The fimer high-vacuum filling machine is designed specifically for particularly dense products filled in glass containers or in any case resistant material, such as for example, miniature pet bottles.

 

The high-vacuum filling machine works thanks to a pressure difference. Atmospheric pressure in the filling machine tank, in which the product is located, and negative pressure in the bottle thanks to a vacuum pump that draws directly on the bottle’s air return circuit. Thanks to this pressure delta, the product contained in the tank is sucked up directly by the bottle.

Depending on the product being processed, fimer can make high-vacuum machines with compensation trays positioned directly on the main tank of the filling machine, or positioned on the ground.
High-vacuum machines can be equipped with different valves, including for miniature bottles.
Products normally handled using high-vacuum machines are oil, syrups, creams, sauces and all those products which, due to their particular density, cannot be handled by gravity filling machines.

 

 

 

 

 

Filling machine

Of the entire bottling line, the most important unit is the filling machine.

 

The filling unit is the only machine that has direct contact with the finished product and therefore must be conceived, designed and built so it provides utmost reliability in terms of product guarantee. It must maintain product characteristics during the actual filling operation but must also be easily washable and also easily sterilized when in contact with products particularly sensitive to pollution.

Fimer, since its inception, has been designing and manufacturing its own filling machines. Adapting them to the characteristics of the product and of the container to be treated.

 

Fimer filling machines include gravity or light vacuum and isobaric machines – both traditional and electro-pneumatic versions – volumetric machines, high vacuum or light pressure machines, electronic machines with flow meters that can be magnetic or inertial.
One of the fimer strong points is that it also makes special machines; as an example we can mention applications with products such as natural honey, and cosmetics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Complete lines

Experience acquired in the field of bottling plants has also enabled fimer to be a prime contractor for the supply of complete plants.

 

The search for qualified suppliers for the acquisition of complementary machines always aims at achieving reliable and high-performance plants.
Fimer is also very flexible in assessing any customer preferences, recommending the most suitable alternatives and always with the aim of achieving a plant that reflects the quality requirements of the end user.

 

Capping machines

Inside a monoblock unit, the bottle, once rinsed and filled, has to be closed. The quality of a vessel closure is as important as actual filling. The closure guarantees and preserves the quality of the contents.
Fimer is able to apply a broad range of closures ranging from natural and synthetic cork to aluminium screw tops, plastic screw tops, crown tops and all types of pressure caps for spirits and oil in general, both on glass bottles and plastic bottles.

 

 

 

 

Volumetric piston fillers

 

Filling systems developed for glass, metal and plastic containers.

 

The range of products treated, no matter if dense or semi dense or with solid parts, includes amongst the others; tomato concentrate,jams, mayonnaise, ketchup, sauces, paté, edible oils, creams, baby food, honey, yoghurt etc.

Vertical red winemaking tanks selector

 

In addition to its traditional horizontal and vertical winemaking tanks, Della Toffola Group also offers the SELECTOR line of red winemaking tanks vaunting advanced and innovative technology.

 

SELECTOR winemakers are patented,  complete enological systems for the vinification of both young and fruity wines ready to be drunk and wines structured for aging. The winemaking process is extremely delicate and demands the constant monitoring and management of its various characteristic phases and aspects by the user. The use of SELECTOR red winemaking tanks gives the enologist the chance to apply all the traditional red winemaking techniques that have been  developed through years of experience at the winery but with all the advantages provided by the use of avant-garde technologies and a completely automated management and control system. Pumping over the must, pumping over in air, delestage, and racking are the methods traditionally used to ensure an ideal vinification phase. With the  SELECTOR system, all are performed in combination following precise process logic and managed by an evolved control system. For this reason, SELECTOR systems incorporate a patented series of exclusive technologies that permit monitoring and intervention on all the parameters that determine the quality of the final product and ensure the perfect blend of tradition and innovation.

 

The MULTISTEEP system with its automatic pump-over flow  creates the conditions required for homogenous moistening of the pomace cap and its subsequent break-up in order to guarantee the ideal contact between the skins and the liquid phase. OXYCONTROL and OXYPLUS ensure the control and adjustment of the oxygen contained in the solid mass during maceration. The THERMOSOFT function controls and adjusts the temperature of the product without any excessively abrupt temperature change, while the DENSIMATIC system monitors the density of the must undergoing fermentation The operation of the vinifier is controlled by its own control panel with a dedicated DIGIWINe electronic board and is  designed also for programmable VINISUPERVISION remote control.

The ELIMATIC system permits the ageing of the wine on the lees, with re-circulating and remixing managed by the control panel. The discharge of the residual solids and cleaning are managed by a mechanical hand and a built-in washing system known as CLEANMATIC. 
SELECTOR  red winemaking tanks are available in a range of different sizes from 80 to 1500 hl.

Nitrogen Generator NIMOS

The new Nimos generatos can be seen as an evolution of traditional systems using the PSA principle (Pressure Swing Adsorption) which allows a constant production of Nitrogen from compressed air.

NIMOS generators are made of two or more modules with two columns. Each one is filled with high quality molecular sieves, characterized by a high porosity and therefore by an excellent selectivity.

The compressed air, which has been dried and filtered, will pass through one of the two columns ceding other gasses and water vapor to the oxygen sieves. After few seconds, before the sieves are completely saturated, the column will be depressurized in order to release the oxygen into the atmosphere.
At the same time, compressed air will be deflected to the other column, yielding oxygen until the next change.

 

 

The cycle, uninterrupted until reaching the filling of the tank, ensures a continuous nitrogen flow. When the tank reaches its maximum filling pressure, the generator, automatically, turns itself off, in standby mode, waiting for a new gas demand.

Oxygen molecules are very small (0,28 mm), and often remain trapped in the cavities characterizing the surface of molecular sieves.
Nitrogen molecules instead, are larger (0,32 mm), and are not captured by the sieve's prorosity.

 

 

Food & beverages industry
Main applications:

• MAP Packaging for meats, cheeses, baked goods, fresh pasta, IV Range products
  
• Sparging, blanketing, bottling of wine and oil, liquid ingredients, grains and powders

 

 

Nitrogen in Oenology

A SHIELD AGAINST OXIDATION

In winemaking, the technique of inert wine storage tanks rapidly spread, in order to reduce the amount of oxygen in contact with the product, by injecting gaseous nitrogen. Nitrogen is mostly used in winemaking to prevent wine oxidising, which is a cause of a deterioration of quality, involving changes in colour, aroma and flavour.

THE IMPORTANCE AND ADVANTAGE OF HAVING AVAILABLE ON-SITE generated nitrogen
In cellars, the approach to the use of on-site produced nitrogen happened gradually, to satisfy the increasing demand from innovations with gas injection at bottling. World-wide there is rapid movement towards nitrogen generators replacing the traditional nitrogen production systems, such as bottles or liquid gas, due to the advantages derived from the convenience and cheapness of this system. The key of the success of the nitrogen generator is that by simply switching on the machine, all nitrogen needed can be produced on site, in complete safety, at the desired purity and definitely at lower cost compared to other supply systems.

Musa LV-V

FILLING MONOBLOCK

 

Automatic rotative filler equipped with with mechanical filling valves movable type mod. “MUSA LV-V” (light vacuum system) suitable to fill delicate flat product into glass bottles.

 

Working Principle:

Bottles arrive from conveyor belt to the inlet worm screw, which provides to space them, maintaining them at machine pitch with star, up to filling area.
Opposite to the worm screw there is a mobile guide connected to the micro-switch that stops the machine, without damaging any mechanical organs, in case of bottles falling down or bottles diameter different from the pre-set one.
The machine is equipped with micro-switch to stop automatically the machine in case of bottles higher than the pre-set one.
The infeed star positions the bottles on bottles holding plates.

 

Using “MUSA LV-V” mechanical filling valves, the same bottles cause the filling valves opening, allowing the filling process.
In case of bottle lacking the filling valve remains closed.

 

During movement from down to up and vice-versa, filling valves are installed on sliding trolleys, granting precise centering and avoiding bottles necks chips
A flexible silicone pipe is positioned between central tank and filling valves, for product flowing.

 

 

During filling process, by gravity, the product is deflected towards the bottle inner side so to avoid any turbulences and the gas/air contained inside the bottle returns to product tank upper side.

Inside product tank is a light vacuum caused by a centrifugal aspirator, granting the expulsion of gas/air returning from bottles towards the external ambient and avoiding product dripping.
Once the filling is completed and the desired level is achieved, the filling Valve are lift up, driven by cam, transferring the bottles on exit star.

This filler allows to reduce the maintenance costs, due to the fact that no any bottle lifting systems are present, so reducing the number of the mechanical gears.

 

 

“MUSA” fillers are complete of many technical improvements, in order to obtain the maximum performances as well as:

• Versatility
• Change-over maintenance time reduction
• Cleaning

 

 

 

 

Tecna G-V

Automatic linear filler, with alternated cycle, equipped with servo-controlled filling valves mod. “TECNA G-V” suitable to fill flat wines (i.e. no-sparkling wines, dry spirits, and so on…) into glass bottles.

 

Working Principle:

Bottles enter automatically inside filling area through a one-way conveyor with double chain - width 31,8 mm - (motor controlled by Inverter).
The machine is equipped with a micro-switch to stop automatically the machine in case of bottle higher than the pre-set one.
Bottles arrive from conveyor belt to the worm screw, which provides to space them, maintaining them at pitch (150,7 mm) up to filling area.
Opposite to the worm screw there is a mobile guide connected to the micro switch that stops the machine, without damaging any mechanical gear, in case of bottles falling down or bottles diameter different from the pre-set one.
The worm screw, controlled by Inverter, stops in phase to grant a proper bottles timing with filling valves.
Bottles are lifted-up by pneumatic cylinders with 140 mm stroke, allowing to obtain a perfect sealing between bottle neck and filling valve.
During movement from down to up and vice-versa, bottles are driven by mobile centrators that slide on co-axial guides, granting precise centering and avoiding bottles necks chips.

 

“TECNA” filling system is characterized by servo-controlled filling valves with pneumatic controls of following phases:

• Air Pre-evacuation from empty bottle (single, double - OPTIONAL)
• Gas injection inside bottle (before filling or as final levelling – OPTIONAL)
• Light vacuum filling

During filling process, by gravity, the product is deflected towards the bottle inner side so to avoid any turbulences and the gas/air contained inside the bottle returns to product tank upper side.
Inside product tank is a light vacuum caused by a centrifugal aspirator, granting the expulsion of gas/air returning from bottles towards the external ambient and avoiding product dripping.
Filling phase are controlled by PLC, allowing to optimize the time-process of each single phase according to the container to be filled and the desired oxygen pick-up to be achieved (values granted less than 0,1 PPM).

The filling process is characterized by recipes on which all phases times, rotation speed and product level inside tank are set.
Once the filling is finished (times pre-settable on display) the pneumatic cylinders lay down allowing the filled bottles discharge, thanks to the simultaneous re-start of the worm screw and conveyor belt.
Proper sensors ensure that all pneumatic cylinders are down in order to authorize the cycle re-start.
The 6 filled bottles leave the filler and simultaneously other 6 empty bottles enter inside the worm screw to start a new filling cycle.

 

“TECNA” fillers are complete of many technical improvements, in order to obtain the maximum performances as well as:

• Versatility
• Flexibility
• Change-over maintenance time reduction
• Cleaning

Rotary Sterilizer Steril-EV

 

This is a rotary sterilizer that is ideal for sterilizing all kinds of containers (including jars), using hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2) in its liquid state in order to increase the shelf-life of products such as fruit juices, milk and derivatives. In order to achieve this objective, it is, in fact, essential to exercise great caution during the decontamination of the containers and regarding the hygiene of the bottles. To this end, there is an initial phase during which the container is preheated with hot air (or steam) in the infeed star wheel of the machine, where the injection of hydrogen peroxide, at a concentration of 35%, also takes place.

The oxygenated water is injected (together with the hot air) through special “atomizer” nozzles in the form of spray, so as to totally cover the internal wall of the container with a thin film, considerably reducing the quantity required for each container (0.2-1ml.). These small quantities of hydrogen peroxide are injected extremely quickly, in a few tenths of a second, time intervals that are extremely difficult to control with mechanically-operated spraying valves.

For this reason, the injection times of the various cycles are entirely controlled by an electronic system; each “atomizer” nozzle is supplied by two solenoid valves (one for hot air and the other for peroxide), activated, in turn, by the PLC, which controls all the phases of the machine. In this way, maximum flexibility of the entire system is guaranteed together with optimization of consumption. Once the first phase in the infeed star wheel has been completed, the containers enter the rotating carousel where the peroxide activation phase is initiated using hot air at temperatures of 110-120°C (or steam at 121°C). Also during this phase, control of the hot air (or steam) injection times is of fundamental importance; this is carried out by solenoid valves, operated by the PLC.

SBF Rotary Blow molding for blowing PET preforms

Sacmi is again confirming its status as the only supplier of systems and solutions for the beverage world to have developed its own technology for each of the key pieces of machinery in the process. The rotary stretch blow moulding machines of the SBF series form part of this range and are a highly reliable and efficient equipment for any customer wanting to mould its own bottles.

 

These are SBF technology’s strengths:

• Double cavity
• Rapid format change-over
• Integrated solutions upstream and downstream the line

The Sacmi SBF range of rotary stretch-blow moulding machines, featuring from 6 to 18 blow moulding stations, represents high-end equipment able to produce more than 48,000 bottles per hour in the standard half-liter format. The distinguishing characteristic of Sacmi SBF machines, and an important advantage too, is the possibility to install on each machine of the range a mould with 1 cavity for a large bottle (up to 3 Liters) or with 2 for a small one (up to 600 ml). and switch between them with the greatest ease and speed. In this way, it is possible to process more than 2,700 small bottles per hour per station, making full use of the moulding machine’s capacity and productive potential of any filling machine to which it might be connected.

 

The Sacmi SBF machine has also been designed to be integrated upstream of PAM, Sacmi’s exclusive compression preform production system.

Sacmi’s expertise is not confined just to machines and processes.
Today, Sacmi is the world’s only supplier capable of offering integrated CAP + PREFORM + BOTTLE
solutions tailor-made to meet the specific needs of the customer and the exact application.
The Sacmi test lab is fully equipped to develop these products.

Filling

A series electro-mechanical fillers

The A series gets its name from the Alfa filler, a model previously produced by Sacmi. Although this is a completely new project, in the A series you will find some of the features which made Alfa filler successful: mainly, its ease of use, reliability and competitive price.

 

Series A fillers can manage both glass and PET bottles, and they are particularly suitable for filling of non carbonated beverages (water, sensitive products such as tea and isotonic drinks, yoghurt drinks and oils).

 

The Hot Fill version is also available, with product recirculation.

 

Filling technology can be of gravity type with electro-pneumatic control, or mechanical gravity type, or electronic-volumetric type. 

 

 

The E series is the new series of Sacmi electronic fillers, dedicated to the beverage world. The E series is distinguished by its complete range of applications (the models available are suitable for glass, PET and can filling, at ambient temperature, cold and hot filling, for large and small sizes) and by some advantages:

 

 

Filling precision

• Rejection rate null from the first machine revolution
• Minimum product waste
• Filling technology is of electronic-volumetric type or electronic-level.

 

Volumetric type filling takes place in the following way: each filling valve is equipped with a magnetic flow-meter, which measures the volume delivered in the bottle, thus allowing machine electronics to manage the filling.

 

Level type filling takes place in the following way: each filling valve is equipped with a conductive level probe, which senses the presence of the liquid, thus allowing machine electronics to manage the filling.

 

All filling cycle phases are managed through valves with pneumatic control.

 

The electronic management of the filling allows monitoring of each single valve, as the performance and any possible malfunction of the valve are sensed in real time; such management system also allows to modify bottle filling level from the operator panel.

CCM Continous Compression Moulding Machine

Less Stop

Features

Lees -Stop Filter enables to free users from the daily use of rotary drum vacuum filters and offers an automatic, economical filtration without using earth. The filtered wine is perfectly brilliant and clear (< 1 NTU). It can directly be added into the filtered batch without undergoing any additional treatment (fining and filtration). The recovery, depending on the load of the filtered products, is higher than the one obtained with rotary drum vacuum filters. In addition, the filtered product is of better quality (analytic parameters are maintained and wine is in a “prebottling” quality).

 

The Membranes

This cross-flow filter specifically dedicated to the treatment of « tank bottoms » is equipped with a stainless steel membrane with a selectivity adapted to very clogging products such as fining lees (bentonite,…) and centrifuge sludge. This membrane has the characteristics to be long lasting and resistant to pressure, temperature and chemical products. Those features are as many assets for the reliability of the filtration and the capacity of regeneration of the membranes. « Tank bottoms » are filtered through a series of 2 to 8 membranes of 7.5 m² each. The working tank is closed and can be inerted. The operating process is made easier. The filter is entirely automatic and needs a reduced monitoring only.

 

The filtration

Clogging is contained on the surface of the membrane which allows for more consistent removal of solids from filterable area, thus allowing for longer, more productive filter cycles. The filter is more productive than a classical rotary drum vaccum filter, and will not lose quality or alcohol. Moreover, residues, still containing alcohol, can easily be valorized in a distillery. Lees – Stop Filter exists with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 membranes.

 

 

Unico Filter

The all-in-one solution for small and medium producers

 

This filter is designed for small/medium manufacturers needing to filter their products (wines and lees) with a “SINGLE” solution, obtaining a filtered product of excellent quality with a turbidity below 1 NTU. 

That is why VLS Technologies has created the UNICO filtration system.

 

Thanks to our filter it becomes possibile getting a good filtration of the product and reducing the microbiological flora; all of this by saving all the organoleptic characteristic of the product.

 

Our filtering media can stand repeated regenerations with warm water and detergents: this means a longer lifespan.

 

Our UNICO filter is available in different sizes with 1, 4, 7 and 10 filtering modules up to 60 hl/h. All the filters are realized in stainless steel with food degree polishing and they are placed, depending on the size, on stainless steel skids on wheels.

 

The filter, depending on the size, are completed with pumps, housings and all the instrumentation necessary for correct operation and check of the safety parameters. It also includes pressure transducers, electronical flow meter, probe for temperature control, device for control of flow rate of the feed pump, tank for cleaning and for the dosing of detergents.

 

All models are available in automatic and semi automatic version. In the latter the PLC handles all the operations – filling, filtration, discharge, washing- and constantly monitor all the parameters with no needs for operator’s intervention.

 

Thanks to the touch screen it is possible to set all the phases, times and all the parameters necessary to the correct operation of the machine.
