GAI MLE 881 HP – Linear Automatic 8 Spout Bottle Rinser, 8 Spout Electro-Pneumatic Filler, Champagne Corker (Optional screw cap and crown cap capability)

GAI MLE 881 HP – Linear Automatic Monoblock composed of Stainless steel with flat Inox Frame:

[1] Electro-Pneumatic Linear Rinser. Rinser has 8 places in Stainless steel for bottles with max diameter of 115 mm. The bottles are taken on the neck by a “floating” pincer and turned upside-down through a chain system with step-step motor. The rinser nozzle enters the bottle neck 70 mm, there is no contact between the bottle and the nozzle. The injection duration may be adjusted from the control panel and the injection takes place only if the bottle is present.

[2] High Pressure Linear Electro-Pneumatic Filler. With 8 filling valves for bottles with 115 mm max diameter, each valve includes:
• Bottle presence sensor.
• Pressure transducer to control the vacuum and the pressure in bottle (the valve does not start filling if the bottle does not reach the tank pressure)
• Electro-pneumatic valve for vacuum circuit
• Electro-pneumatic valve for the auto-levelling circuit and pressure compensation
• Electro-pneumatic valve for de-gassing circuit.
• Electro-pneumatic valve on each spout, to allow, if the bottle is present, the vacuum, the pressure compensation, the auto levelling and the de-gassing.
• Double effect electro-pneumatic piston on each valve for gas returning circle opening and closing.
• Double effect electro-pneumatic piston on each valve to liquid circuit opening and closing.
• The filling level is centralized and can be adjusted manually from 25 to 100-mm from the mouth. The bottle neck internal diameter must be higher or equal to 16 mm. Each valve has dummy bottle with manual positioning for machine washing and sterilization.
• The valve can work both with gassed liquids with pressure up to 8 Bar and with still liquids with pressure up to 0 Bar. The filling level is precise even without the use of the auto-levelling circuit. The total closing of the filling valve helps the degassing even with difficult products and allows the bottling of sparkling liquids even at ambient temperature.
• All circuits are canalized (even the degassing one) and the filler is set for a sterilization CIP system. The feeding from the bottom allows a natural and total emptying of the tank. The flow is adjusted by an electro-pneumatic valve. Bottle double pre-evacuation: the air (oxygen) in the bottle is vacated and replaced with CO2 in pressure, it is vacated again before balancing the bottle pressure with the tank one. Approximately 99% of the oxygen in the bottle is eliminated.. The vacuum is created by a liquid ring pump. The gas pressure in tank and the levelling circuit one are managed by PLC. Filler valve is patent protected.

[3] The Corker. Closes the cork slowly to a diameter of 16 mm by using 4 Stainless steel prismatic guide jaws hardened, ground and polished. A vacuum is created in the bottle neck by a high vacuum pump so that the introduction of the cork will not create any pressure under the cork. The corker jaws and centering cone are easy to disassemble for regular cleaning and maintenance. The corker has a photocell to detect missed corks. On the same column it is possible to have other types of closure (ONLY IF ORDERED TOGETHER WITH THE MACHINE).

The inlet and transfer among the stations takes place with an universal infeed screw that guides and synchronize the bottles.
Electrical height adjustment of all stations.
Equipped for a cylindrical bottle.

The monoblock is equipped with:
– Safety guards in accordance with CE standards with tempered glass doors.
– Universal infeed screws.
– Dummy bottle for rinser sterilization
– Dummy bottle for filler sterilization
– PLC and operating terminal (touch screen).
– Cork/capsule presence device.
