Description
Advanced Automation and Control Systems The line architecture supports coordinated operation from depalletizing to palletizing, enabling stable throughput in the range of 10,000–14,000 cph. Integrated inspection and printing ensure in-line quality control and traceability. Safety and surveillance interlocks are present at critical stations such as filling, capping, pasteurization, packaging, and pallet handling. Format changeover components are configured for three can sizes to reduce changeover times and maintain consistent production quality. Production Line Integration Capability This complete production line is designed for in-line operation, combining processing, filling, and end-of-line packaging in a unified flow. The nizzi system connects all equipment, including two turntables for routing and accumulation. The configuration allows for rapid format changeovers between 0.25L, 0.33L, and 0.5L cans. Additional labeling capacity for white cans increases flexibility in product presentation, while multi-packaging and packaging machines support various retail formats. Machine Condition and Maintenance History: The line is offered as a used and pre-owned bottling line, with a documented service on the Ortmann Herbst 45/6 filler in 2012. Several elements include commissioning notes (e.g., depalletizer startup in 2011, boiler startup in 2015, compressor system startup in 2011), reflecting previous industrial operations. Overall, the equipment represents a complete and consistent solution for the production of beverages with established brands at every stage of the process. Operational Performance and Versatility: Configured for three aluminum can sizes, the line offers robust can handling, precise filling, reliable can capping with Angelus and Ferrum technologies, and heat treatment via a Hermis tunnel pasteurizer. Inline quality control is performed by a Stratec fill level inspector, while a Victor printer handles coding. A dedicated line for reducing sachet labels on white cans expands product branding options. Downstream, Kisters packaging and SMI multipack equipment manage the unit before palletizing and wrapping. Installation Requirements and Site Preparation The process utility suite includes a steam boiler and a compressed air system with boosters and tanks, which support pasteurization, pneumatic actuation, and CIP operations. The CIP station with three tanks and the syrup room with cooling and mixing enable hygienic beverage preparation. Site preparation should consider the linear layout of conveyors, maintenance access, drainage for CIP and washing, and service connections for steam, compressed air, and process water. Safety Standards and Compliance Certification Safety guards, emergency stops, and interlocked access points are integrated into the main line modules, supporting safe operation in beverage packaging environments. Hygienic design elements such as stainless steel or food-grade lined tanks and CIP capability contribute to food and beverage safety practices. The system's component brands are well-known in the industrial packaging and beverage manufacturing industries, facilitating compliance alignment and operator training
