Used 18,000 cph infant formula bottling line The 18,000 can/hour infant formula bottling line operates as a fully automated system, ensuring high efficiency and precision. Each machine in this line optimizes production flow, reduces waste, and meets the stringent quality standards required in the food industry. Key features of the 18,000 cph used milk powder bottling line: Depalletization: The process begins with the Jorgensen depalletizer (2000), an advanced system that handles preformed cans. This machine integrates a Siemens S7 PLC and Danfoss frequency converters, enabling precise management of production flow. Additionally, the system includes an empty pallet collection station and a 5-pallet infeed buffer, facilitating continuous, uninterrupted processing. Rinser: The cans then move through the air rinser, which removes particles and impurities using a jet of high-pressure compressed air. This process prevents contamination by maintaining optimal hygienic conditions before filling. As a result, the product remains safe and meets regulatory requirements. Scoop placement machine in this infant formula bottling line. The scoop placement machine (Hoppmann, 2014) plays a critical role in ensuring the accuracy of scoop placement. This machine, which has a capacity of 360 scoops per minute, is equipped with a high-capacity buffer hopper, dedicated conveyors, and an automated insertion unit. As a result, it places scoops with exceptional precision into each can. Filler. The powder filler (Mannesmann Dematic / Colby Powder Systems, 2000) efficiently performs the filling process. This machine uses a dual-stage weighing system with automatic feedback, allowing for precise adjustments to the dosage. The CRF 24H model reaches a maximum capacity of 300 cans per minute for 99 mm cans and 150 cans per minute for 127 mm cans. Additionally, the Mettler Toledo Garvens scale (2020) ensures weight compliance, improving production consistency. Production capacity The line accommodates various filling capacities, making it extremely versatile: 400 gram cans: up to 18,500 cans per hour. 800 / 850 / 900 gram cans: up to 10,200 cans per hour. Pre-seamers In this line used for infant formula, after filling, the can bottom unpacker and the pre-seamer prepare the cans for final sealing. The Siemens S7 PLC integrated into the system ensures precise control. Additionally, Ferrum (2000) pre-seamers, including the F504EC for 127 mm cans and the F505EC for 99 mm cans, ensure a strong seal before the final sealing stage. Quality Control To ensure product integrity, the high-quality control room monitors all production stages. Equipped with a PLC and production management software, this station allows operators to monitor and adjust processes as needed. Final Seaming Ferrum (2000) seamers complete the can sealing process. The F504EF for 127 mm cans and the F505EF for 99 mm cans efficiently complete hermetic closures. Additionally, the Heuft system performs rigorous quality controls to verify sealing accuracy and overall can integrity, ensuring compliance with food industry regulations. Labeling machine in a used bottling line for infant formula (18,000 cph). After sealing, the cans pass through the labeling machine and the leaflet inserter (Pago), which applies high-precision labels and automatically inserts leaflets. This step improves product traceability and consumer information. Capper The capper (R. Laurent SA, model C1, 2003) applies snap-on caps with remarkable precision. This system relies on an overhead conveyor mechanism and a buffer tank to simplify cap placement, ensuring uniform closure on all cans. Palletizing and Packaging Finally, the Jorgensen palletizer and the Cyklop CST 940 stretch-wrapping machine (a pallet wrapper) perform the final step of the process. These machines efficiently organize and wrap the cans, securing them for storage and transportation. As a result, the products maintain stability and remain protected during handling and shipping.
