Functional principle of the valve
The lift cylinder presses the bottle on to the filling valve where it is pre-evacuated several times. With non-carbonated beverages, the filling valve opens due to a movement of the control cylinder. With carbonated beverages, the bottle is pressurised and the valve opens as soon as the bottle and the ring bowl have the same pressure. At both of the filling processes, the liquid runs through a spreader along the bottle wall. The valve closes as soon as the bottle is entirely filled. The correction channel opens and the excessive fill quantity is displaced from the bottle up to the end of the vent tube. With carbonated beverages, a snifting phase is performed in order to reduce the pressure in the bottle head space. Non-carbonated beverages can be removed from the filling valve right after filling is completed.
Bottle volume 200 to 2,000 ml
Viscosity < 10 mPa·s
Pulp max. 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 mm/portion < 5 %
Benefits to you
Best technological values
- Several pre-evacuations of the bottle for the least possible oxygen intake
- No product returned into the ring bowl during the correction phase
Maximum filling accuracy
- Determination of the fill level by means of the length of the vent tube
- Separate correction channel: Any excess product is pushed out of the bottle and up to the end of the vent tube.
First the glass bottle is pressed on and then it is pre-evacuated several times. The filling valve opens after pressurisation and the filling process begins: The product runs into the bottle via a swirl insert. Once the bottle is filled up to the brim, the valve closes electropneumatically. The correction channel opens and the excessive fill quantity is displaced from the bottle up to the end of the vent tube. Afterwards, the bottle is snifted via a channel. The special feature of this version: Both, the vent tube adjustment and the swinging-in of the CIP cups are performed fully automatically.
