Bottling equipment for different kind of drinks
Whatever your production focus is, Comac produces bottling equipment of all types and sizes. The versatility of Comac machines is represented not only by the different production capacities but also by the possibility to customize the machine according to the type of beverage treated.
For example, thanks to the oxygen pick up it is possible to remove excess oxygen to avoid product deterioration; a special measure to increase the life of bottled beverages. Thanks to these solutions, Comac is able to guarantee you a highly personalized bottle equipment to maximize your production efficiency.
The saturation unit is another component of a bottling equipment and is used for the preparation of carbonated products. It carries out all the operation of deareation and carbonation of beverages and is mostly used for water, cider and wine.
The flash pasteurizer is completely automatic and is part of a bottling equipment. It constantly checks all the working parameters and and is able to optimize time and waste production. For this reason, it is very efficient and reliable.
For bottling carbonated drinks, the precise quantities of syrup and carbon dioxide are required. Thanks to the Comac premix unit, syrup and CO2 can be adjusted and the desired combination safely achieved.
To pasteurize already packaged products it is possible to equip the bottle equipment with a tunnel pasteurizer, available in different sizes and formats.
In addition, the accessory machines also include heating and cooling tunnels to quickly change the temperature of the products, according to your needs.
Other add-ons include conveyor belts, lifts and connection elements to make the plants more functional and optimize the bottling flow.
What to include in your bottling equipment
1 – Cleaning machine
The first machine among bottling equipment should be a cleaning machine, which is necessary to perform the preliminary rinsing of the bottles before the filling process. A cleaning machine is usually equipped with a variable number of grippers – depending on its dimension – that grab the bottles and rinse them by some nozzles, through which the cleaning liquid or air is sprayed.
2 – Filling machine
The filling machine is obviously the heart of any bottling equipment. Through a conveyor, the bottles are moved under some filling valves that inject the liquid into them; sometimes, especially in beer processing, the filling machine also distributes a little amount of inert gas at the end of each filling, in order to scatter the oxygen from the top of the bottle to avoid the oxidation of the product. The best filling machines are equipped with a system to prevent the valves from working when no bottle is under them.
3 – Capping machine
The capping machine is the last device you have to provide if you want to complete your bottling equipment. After the filling, the bottles move up to this last machine, where a cap is provided for each of them, sealing the liquid and making the product ready to be stored or transported elsewhere.
4 – Additional machines
Bottling equipment could include some additional machines in case you have to perform particular processes on the beverage you are bottling. To obtain carbonated water or premix juices, you will need a saturation unit or a premix unit; a pasteurizer machine is used to pasteurize the packed bottles. There are also many other machines designed to perform specific tasks during the bottling, depending on the industry type.
