Description The Complete Used PET Water Bottling Line – CSD – 18,000 bph represents a highly efficient industrial solution for bottling and packaging still water, sparkling water, and soft drinks in PET containers. This system is designed to support a nominal production of 18,000 bottles per hour in the 2-liter format, ensuring high operational flexibility even for different bottle sizes with the use of optional format conversion kits. The entire production cycle of the Complete Used PET Water Bottling Line – CSD – 18,000 bph begins in the preform feeding area, where an automated system consisting of a hopper, tilter, and preform feeder manages the accumulation and efficient transfer of preforms to the blow molding machine. The blow molding module, equipped with fourteen cavities, uses heating and high-pressure blowing to ensure maximum dimensional and mechanical uniformity of the bottles, optimizing the line's productivity. The transfer of freshly blown bottles to the subsequent stages is managed by stainless steel air conveyors, which ensure gentle and orderly transport without the risk of deformation, enabling seamless integration between the blowing and filling sections of the complete bottling line for used PET water (CSD) – 18,000 bph. Conveyor sizing, speed regulation, and centralized automation are designed to support the continuous productivity required by the beverage industry. Heart of the line: filling, capping, inspection, and coding. The line is equipped with a pre-mixing system for the preparation of CSD and sparkling water, including blending and carbonation. It is designed to integrate CO₂ emissions management and ensure production stability. The functional heart of the Complete Bottling Line for Used PET Water (CSD) – 18,000 bph is the isobaric filling monoblock, combined with a rinsing station for sanitizing incoming bottles. Isobaric filling technology allows for the handling of both still and carbonated products, ensuring precise dosing and operational versatility. Specifically, a nitrogen dosing system downstream of the filling phase optimizes shelf life and product quality by reducing oxygen content and ensuring stability for the production of sparkling water and CSD. The capping phase uses a rotary capper fed by an automatic cap elevator, with integrated systems to verify correct application and presence of the cap. The system's high reliability is ensured by mechanical synchronization between stages, minimizing the risk of errors even at high speeds. Food safety is further supported by targeted technical solutions that maintain product protection at every stage of the process. Quality control along the complete bottling line for used PET water – CSD – 18,000 bph is managed by multi-level optical vision systems and electronic control. These modules provide immediate detection of potential defects, abnormal fill levels, or non-compliant caps, ensuring precise and selective rejection. In-line, real-time control maintains consistently high productivity and quality standards. For product traceability and market compliance, the line includes laser coding systems for bottles and inkjet systems for shrink-wrap packaging, enabling unique identification via barcodes, serial numbers, or production dates. End-of-line: labeling, packaging, and integrated automation The Complete Bottling Line for Used PET Water – CSD – 18,000 bottles per hour includes an automatic labeling section with high-precision self-adhesive label application. This module is configured to operate without bottlenecks at full line capacity, handling reels of plastic or paper labels and ensuring optimal adhesion even in the presence of condensation. After labeling, automatic dividers guide the containers to the shrink-wrapper, which groups the bottles into shrink-wrap packages. The shrink-wrapper can process up to 60 packs per minute and offers flexibility for different bundle configurations. An additional automatic handle applicator places the handles on the packages, improving ease of handling and distribution. The finished packages are then transferred to the automatic palletizing system, equipped with robots for programmed pallet management and package arrangement. The process concludes with the application of an automatic pallet wrapper with stretch film and a top sheet, followed by a pallet labeler that enables logistics tracking and computerized warehouse management. Automation of the complete 18,000 bph used PET water bottling line (CSD) is ensured by a network of modular conveyors, centralized control panels, and intuitive human-machine interfaces. Synchronization between sections is managed by electronic speed regulation and intelligent flow control, ensuring maximum efficiency, reducing machine downtime, and simplifying any product or format changeovers. Dry lubrication of the bottle conveyors improves operational safety, limits maintenance costs, and ensures the line complies with the most stringent standards in the beverage industry. Equipment Integration, Quality, and Robustness The entire architecture of the Complete Water Bottling Line in Used PET – CSD – 18,000 bph is focused on maximum reliability and productivity for the water and soft drinks industry, thanks to the selection of high-level machinery and automation. Each section is designed to operate synergistically, from preform handling to palletizing and wrapping the finished products. Integrated quality control ensures that only compliant bottles continue along the production chain, with automatic segregation of any anomalies. The modularity of the Complete Water Bottling Line in Used PET – CSD – 18,000 bph allows for rapid adaptation to new production needs, while the robustness of the materials used guarantees a long life and low incidence of extraordinary maintenance. The presence of specific accessories such as the nitrogen dosing system, the automatic handle applicator, the pallet labeler and the top sheet wrapper complete the technical equipment, making this line a complete and reliable solution for any industrial reality requiring high standards of hygiene, efficiency and traceability.
