Description Technical Specifications and Performance Data This Pentablock Filling Monoblock combines rinsing, filling, capping, and wire-hooding in a single, compact rotary frame for handling glass bottles. Manufactured by Mondial, the LD 16-16-3E/PK-1RF-1V configuration offers a robust mechanical design with precise bottle control for rinsing, filling, capping, and wire-hooding. It is suitable for pre-owned installations and integration into a used bottling line focused on beverage production and industrial packaging. Model: LD 16-16-3E/PK-1RF-1V Bottle Materials: Glass Bottle Formats: Compatible with 0.33L and 0.75L bottle formats Rinsing Tower: 16 grippers (rotary) Filling Tower (Filler): 16 valves, gravity/vacuum technology Closures Supported: Crown cap, champagne-style mushroom cap Wirehooder: Integrated wirehood applicator for champagne-style closures HMI: Siemens OP73 Micro Typical Applications: Wine, classic recipe sparkling wine Advanced Automation and Control Systems The monoblock features an integrated automation architecture with an intuitive HMI for setup, recipe formatting and diagnostics. Line operators benefit from clear alarm messages and wizards that reduce downtime and facilitate switching between formats and closure types. The control system supports coordinated movement between turrets to maintain stable product handling and consistent filling accuracy Siemens OP73 Micro HMI for monitoring and control Programmable format parameters for different bottle sizes Interlocked guards and safety logic for operator protection Quick adjustments for height and star wheel change Production line integration capability Designed to operate as a standalone monoblock or integrated into a complete used bottling line, this machine accepts infeed and outfeed conveyors for seamless connection with upstream and downstream equipment such as labelers, inspectors and packers. Its rotary architecture allows for formatted parts to be adapted to multiple glass bottle sizes and closure types, maintaining consistent production and gentle handling. In-line integration with standard nizzo systems Multi-format capacity: 0.33L and 0.75L glass bottles Closure flexibility: crown cap and champagne-style cork with flush cap Suitable for production environments of fermented beer and classic sparkling wines Machine condition and maintenance history The machine is presented as ready for use with a commercial focus on Reliable pre-owned bottling equipment. Standard preventative maintenance points are accessible, with clear procedures for scheduled inspections and sanitization to maintain consistent quality. Operational Status: Ready for Use Routine access for inspection and cleaning Supports sanitization of product contact parts Operational Performance and Versatility This monoblock is designed for glass containers requiring high-quality rinsing, accurate gravity/soft-vacuum filling, robust closure application, and a secure flush cap for champagne-style finishes. Multi-closure capability (crown cap and champagne-style cap with wirehood) expands production versatility, allowing seasonal or mixed-format wines and sparkling wine to operate in the same production scale. Precision gravity/soft-vacuum filling for glass bottles Stable handling for delicate premium glass formats Dual-closure compatibility with integrated wirehooder for added flexibility Complete final solution for beer and classic sparkling wine filling.
