Design Features

  • With the "Neck Trapper System" designed by CBI, no change parts are needed for different bottles with the same neck finish.
  • Changeover to different packages can be completed in a matter of seconds.
  • All bottles are handled by the neck from infeed to outfeed.
  • Nearly no product loss or changeover time due to the ultra-clean filling system and optimization software for the filler and mixer.
  • Changeover for different products and containers can be pre-programmed.
  • Filling programmes can be developed for products and containers with specific characteristics.

Flexible Design

  • Volufill uses the latest flow meter and membrane technology in producing an ultra clean filling system.
  • Simple valve construction without traditional complexity (springs, levers, etc) reduces maintenance.
  • Valves can be programmed for individual products and containers.
  • Each valve has self diagnostic capability, flat bottle path with valve descending to bottle giving smooth bottle transfer.
    • No vent tubes reduces valve to bottle contact.
  • Constant repeatable filling volume (accuracy +-2ml).
  • With the new volumetric filling system, Volufill can fill:
    • Non-carbonated
    • Carbonated
    • Cold and Hot
    • Nitrogenated beverages
    • Liquid with high pulp content

Optimised Technology

  • The electronic controls for the filling valves are installed in a panel remote from the machine, away from any wet areas.
  • Integrated ASI bus means less cabling.
  • Controller memory for optimized parameters concerning product and container type can be called up from the front panel.
  • Control and optimization possible through the software, also for each valve individually including excessive data source recording.
  • All fillers have text display, touch panel and Siemens S7 PLC (programmable via normal PC or laptop).
  • Diagnostic and testing of filler "online" via a modem and telephone line world wide (optional).
  • Changeover can be completed in a matter of seconds via pre-programmed selections on the touch screen.
