Fillmaster AS18

The Fillmaster AS18 is an automatic counterpressure filler for beverages containing CO2. It has twelve stations and eight conveyor belts. The bottles are placed manually either directly on the first conveyor belt or on an additional, rotating rotary table. An automatic detection system positions six bottles at the correct distance from each other and pneumatic cylinders push each bottle onto a separate continuing conveyor belt. These belts position the bottles under the filling head and the corker. Six bottles are filled at the same time and another six bottles are sealed with 26mm diameter crown corks. Afterwards the bottles are transferred to the last conveyor belt which takes care of the removal. The bottles must be removed either directly from there or manually from an additional rotating rotary table. The filling of the bottles takes place under CO2 counter pressure of up to 3bar. A built-in vacuum pump enables an automatic pre-evacuation of the bottles on request. If iron-on bottles are to be filled, the corker can be temporarily put out of operation. All process-relevant parameters can be set via the control system, thus guaranteeing reliable reproducibility of all parameters during the entire filling process. A changeover to different bottle types can easily be realized in only approx. 5 minutes.
The Fillmaster AS18 is equipped with high-quality steering rollers, so that it can be moved. It can be used to fill bottles (0.25 to 1l). The filling speed can be adjusted continuously from 0.5 to 2l/min by a throttle. About 960 bottles of 0.33l can be filled and closed per hour.
