Sraml Bottling/Canning Monoblock System
Sraml Bottling Monoblock System is a set of automated high quality machines combined in one unit to perform rinsing, filling and capping whether you are handling glass, plastic bottles or aluminium cans.
The Monoblock System has many advantages over an invidual stand-alone machine. It is designed to perform different tasks during the bottling process while being part of the same block.
- Requires less space and personnel
- Optimises energy consumption
- Enables perfect synchronization between units
The system features quick and easy bottle format changeover and high flexibility, even when working with different bottle shapes or closure types. The integral CIP system is fully automatic, which allows fast and thorough cleaning while complying with the highest food-safety standards. Remote access can be optionally included for easy remote control, troubleshooting, or updates.
Multiple rinsing stations are placed on a rotating carousel, allowing the rinsing of bottles or plastic bottles at the same time in continuous motion. The rinser grabs the bottle by the neck and holds it through the process with the help of the self locking bottle gripper. The bottles are turned upside-down by means of a twist cam device that ensures their correct positioning over the rinsing nozzles. Double treatments are possible where rinsing needs to be done in two steps with two different mediums.
Rinser is equipped with no bottle no spray system, the rinsing medium is not injected if the bottle is not present. Rinser height adjustment is powered by an electric motor for simple and fast height settings even in operation.
Gravity / Low vacuum fillers are suitable for filling still, liquid and non-viscous products. Fillers features a closed bowl with set of filling valves and bottle lifting pistons. The pistons are lifting the bottles to connect them with the filling valve in a close system. The product is being poured from the bowl into the bottle by gravity. Thanks to the special design of the filling valves, the liquid is gently poured on the side of the bottles, minimizing the porduct agitation.
Direct vacuum fillers are suitable for filling still liquid products with medium viscosity. The filler features a bowl with a set of filling valves in which venting pipes are connected to the vacuum unit. When bottles are connected to the filling valve, the vacuum is constantly pulling the air out of them and forces the product to be poured from the bowl into the bottle. The liquid is gently poured on the side of the bottle, minimizing the product agitation.
Counter-Pressure (Isobaric) Fillers are designed for filling carbonated products in bottles or cans. The filler features a pressure bowl, with a set of special filling valves, which performs the following sequence of different filling steps for individual bottles: deaeration with vacuum and CO2 gas (double); bottle pressurizing; product filling; pressure releasing. The individual filling steps are mechanically operated with cams.
Electronic Volumetric Fillers are suitable for filling still liquid and viscous products, where a high level of filling accuracy and hygiene is needed. Each fill position is equipped with a flow meter and two speed diaphragm valve, which precisely determines the fill quantity of every bottle. The filling valve is not in contact with the bottle during filling. The product is filled in a turbulence-free stream, which enables a smooth filling process, and prevents foaming and product spray on the bottles.
Closers and Cappers are available in single-head and multi-head arrangements. V-Brew provides you with both a stand-alone bottle capping machine or bottle capper integrated into a monoblock system, as well as a complete line of automatic bottle corking and capping machines.
Straight or champagne cork: suitable for the application of the straight or champagne cork on glass bottles. Corks are slowly compressed and rapidly inserted in the bottle, to minimalize the effect on the natural elasticity of the cork.
Aluminium screw caps: suitable for the application of non-threaded aluminium screw caps on glass or PET bottles. The caps are taken to the bottles and their application is done by a special sealing head.
Crown caps: suitable for the application of the crown caps on glass or aluminum bottles. The cap is applied by deforming it with the help of a closing cone, so the cap will clamp the bottleneck.
Twist-off caps: suitable for the application of twist-off lug caps on glass bottles. The caps are taken to the bottles and tightened to the required torque with the capper head. Capping is done in a steam environment. Steaming the cap and bottleneck which will positively affect the vacuum inside the bottle
Pre-threaded caps: suitable for the application of the pre-treated caps on glass or plastic bottles. Application is done by picking the cap from the feeding mechanism with the capping head chuck, and placing and screwing it on the bottle with the desired torque.
T-caps: suitable for the application of the press-on T-corks on glass bottles. The caps are picked with the capping head from the feeding mechanism and inserted into the bottle.
Can seamer: suitable for the application and seaming of lids on aluminium cans or PET cans. They can directly pick the lid and be transported under the spinning chuck, where is lifted and spun. Two sets of rollers seam the lid on the can in two-step process.
- Development of highly efficient turnkey bottling systems to provide ultimate product quality and excellent production performance.
- Development of custom solutions on the existing bottling lines and individual (modular) units to increase production, enhance quality.
- Delivering an efficient, personal service built around your specific requirements in liquid filling machines to suit your production.
Enchance Your Bottling Process
Tunnel Coolers or Pasteurisers
The cooling tunnel is used to cool the product inside hot filled containers. The bottles are cooled, by being sprayed with water, while being transported through the tunnel. Tunnel pasteurizers are suitable for the heat treatment of already packed beverages. The Tunnel is divided into a series of thermal zones, along which bottles pass on conveying system.
Product Pre-Treatment
Product blending tanks, Flash Pasteurisers, Carbonization, Filtration etc…
Bottle Tilter – Cap Sterilizer
The bottle tilter is designed to tip the hot filled bottles on the side, to allow the hot product contact with the bottle cap and neck, in order to sterilize.
Bottle Dryers
The bottle dryer is designed to dry the containers from the outside.
