Used Alfatek TBV 24/32/4 ISO Isobaric Filling Monoblock up to 4,500 bph The Used Alfatek TBV 24/32/4 ISO Isobaric Filling Monoblock up to 4,500 bph is a high-precision bottling machine designed for the controlled rinsing, filling, and corking of still and sparkling wines. Equipped with a 24-station rinser, 32 isobaric filling valves, and 4 corking heads, it offers a balanced combination of speed, product care, and operational flexibility. The machine is designed to operate at a nominal capacity of approximately 4,500 bottles per hour for still wine and approximately 4,000 bottles per hour for sparkling wine, thanks to its dual filling mode: gravity filling for still products and traditional isobaric filling for carbonated products. Constructed entirely of stainless steel, the monoblock offers excellent durability and hygiene. All product-contact parts are made of food-grade AISI 316L stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and maintaining the purity of the wine during processing. Transparent polycarbonate protection surrounds the work area, allowing for visual inspection and ensuring maximum operator safety. Each access panel is equipped with interlocking safety switches to meet industry safety standards. The monoblock's layout is compact yet easy to maintain, with easy access to all mechanical and pneumatic components. Integrating the three main functions (rinsing, filling, and capping) into a single frame reduces transfer points, limits bottle handling stress, and optimizes space utilization within the bottling line. Rinsing, filling, and capping operations: The rinsing section is equipped with 24 grippers mounted on a rotating carousel. The bottles are inverted and subjected to a double-treatment rinse cycle: an initial rinse with water or sanitizing solution, followed by a blast of sterile or filtered air to remove any residual liquids and particles. The grippers are designed for precise neck manipulation, ensuring safe bottle positioning throughout the rinse cycle, regardless of format. The filling section uses 32 traditional pneumatically operated mechanical isobaric valves. This system is known for its robustness, easy maintenance, and precise fill level control. The filling process can be performed in gravity mode for still wine, ensuring faster throughput, or in isobaric mode for sparkling wine, preserving carbonation levels and minimizing oxygen pick-up. Each valve is equipped with a vent tube for precise level setting and a pre-evacuation stage to reduce dissolved oxygen, improving shelf life and product stability. The capping turret has four heads, capable of applying both cylindrical corks and BVS screw caps. Switching between closure types is supported by adjustable head assemblies and interchangeable tools, allowing the machine to handle a wide range of premium wine formats without extensive downtime. The capping process is synchronized with bottle entry and exit to ensure accurate closure placement and control of torque or insertion depth, depending on the closure type. Format Flexibility and Integration This monoblock is configured to handle a wide range of wine bottle formats, including Bordolese Standard TS/BVS, Bordolese Conica TS/BVS, Conica Elite TS, Nobile TS, Authentique TS, Borgognotta TS, Adriatica 1 Litre TS/BVS, and Arno 1.5 Litre TS. Changeover parts are designed to maintain bottle stability and centering during transfers between carousels. Feeding is managed by a screw conveyor for smooth bottle spacing, while transfer between turrets is performed by precision starwheels made of high-strength food-grade polymer. The machine rotates clockwise when viewed from above, with bottles entering on the right side and exiting on the left after capping. This configuration is compatible with a wide range of line layouts and integrates seamlessly with upstream depalletizers and downstream labeling or packaging equipment. The infeed and outfeed conveyors are synchronized with the monoblock's main drive via frequency-controlled motors, ensuring a constant flow of bottles without collisions or gaps. Automation is managed by an integrated PLC with a touchscreen HMI, which gives operators full control over machine functions, recipe management, and operating parameters. The system allows for precise adjustment of filling pressures, rinsing times, and capping torque or insertion settings. This level of control ensures consistent product quality across different formats and production cycles. Sanitization is supported by an integrated Clean-in-Place (CIP) system for filling valves and product paths, along with a CO₂ purge system for isobaric operation to further reduce oxygen ingress. All liquid contact areas are designed with smooth surfaces and drainage points to prevent product residue and facilitate thorough cleaning. The robust mechanical design, combined with precise automation, makes the used Alfatek TBV 24/32/4 ISO isobaric filling monoblock up to 4500 bph a reliable choice for wineries seeking consistent performance, flexibility in bottle formats, and the ability to switch between still and sparkling wine production without compromising quality.
