ALTEC PO 12/1 Filling and Capping Monoblock – Overview This used ALTEC PO 12/1 filling and capping monoblock is designed for efficient bottling operations within beverage manufacturing and industrial packaging environments. Designed to handle both PET and glass bottles, it is suitable for 100% water and fruit juices, as well as other low-viscosity still liquids. With 12 filling valves and 1 capping head, the machine offers compact, integrated performance for pre-owned and pre-owned bottling line applications. Manufactured by ALTEC, the monoblock supports hot or cold filling modes for still products, making it a versatile choice for small to medium production runs. Variable speed control via a frequency regulator allows operators to match throughput to different container sizes and product requirements.

A variable frequency drive (VFD) manages the refill speed, allowing rapid adaptation to production needs and bottle formats. The compact HMI located in the control cabinet gives operators access to essential machine parameters. Siemens control for consistent and proven reliability Frequency-regulated variable speed for flexible productivity Operator access via small integrated display Production line integration capability This monoblock fits seamlessly into a used bottling line or a stand-alone station within beverage production. It is designed for PET and glass containers and can interface upstream with a rinser and downstream with labeling, inspection and packaging equipment. Format changeovers are supported on multiple bottle formats from 0.5 l to 2.0 l, and various format parts are included. In-line or stand-alone operation in industrial packaging lines. Compatible with upstream and downstream rinsers, inspectors, and fillers. Multi-format flexibility: 0.5 l, 0.85 l, 1.0 l, 1.5 l, 2.0 l. Machine condition and maintenance history. The monoblock was last used in 2020 and has been regularly overhauled since then. It is currently dismantled and cannot be wet tested in its current state; however, a dress test can be attempted. Technical documentation is available. The overall condition is described as solid for a pre-owned unit. Operational performance and versatility. Optimized for still beverages, the unit handles hot and cold filling applications for fruit juices and 100% water, along with other low-viscosity and still liquids. A 28 mm plastic screw cap configuration (PCO 1881 short neck) is installed, and provisions for 38 mm sports caps are referenced, subject to the availability of specific adapters and tools. Ideal for water and fruit juices. Hot filling capability for juices and thermostable products. Supports PET and glass packaging. Installation and site preparation requirements: Ensure adequate floor space for the monoblock and its support for the balance tank. Provide electrical power consistent with a 3 kW machine and a stable compressed air supply at 6 bar. Allow for access permissions for changeover and maintenance, and plan utility routing for integration into the existing production line. 2300 x 1500 x 2300 mm plus auxiliary support. Utilities: 3 kW electric, 6 bar compressed air. Environmental: Standard bottling room conditions. Safety Standards and Compliance Certification. The monoblock is designed to operate with standard safety practices typical of bottling equipment, including protected enclosures and emergency stop functions configured by the OEM and integrator. Purchasers should verify current regulatory compliance and safeguards during installation and commissioning, especially when integrating with other bottling equipment within a used production line.
