BEVERAGE FILLING MACHINE FOR FILLING CANS HAVING A HEAT EXCHANGE UNIT SECURED INTERNALLY THEREOF WITH A LIQUID BEVERAGE
A rotary beverage filling machine for cans which have a heat exchange unit secured to the bottom thereof and extending into the can which includes a conveyor for transporting cans to be deposited on a pedestal which is adapted to move the can into contact with a sealing device surrounding a nozzle which is disposed within the open upper end of the can but is displaced from the heat exchange unit.
Centering bell quick change system
An adapter system for a beverage can filling valve for quick connection/disconnection of multiple centering bells used to fill differently sized cans and a CIF assembly.
APPARATUS FOR CAPPING AND PACKAGING UNIT COMPRISING SAID APPARATUS
A capping unit (100) for articles such as containers and/or bottles in general, of the type including at least one capping group (3) bearing one or more capping heads (8) for screwing caps (6) or capsules on the articles moved by at least one transport line (4). It includes at least one capping heads store (19), adapted to retain a series of capping heads (8), in order to allow the rapid and automatic exchange and substitution of the spindles (25) of the capping group (3); the capping group (3) being moved by an associated motorization, up to reaching the store (19) such to store and pick up, automatically from the group (3) itself the suitable capping head (8) as a function of the size of the caps (6) or capsules to be screwed.
Filling valve group for a filling machine
A filling valve group for a filling machine, comprising a supply duct for delivering a liquid into a container, an air return tube, and a shutter provided with a narrowing portion fixed to the supply duct and an enlarged portion fixed to the air return tube. In addition, the filling valve group comprises a centering body, which is placed at the outlet section of the supply duct to abuttingly receive the mouth of the container, and is removably fixed to a lower portion of the filling valve group by a first quick coupling. The filling valve group further comprises a fixed assembly, which forms an upper section of the supply duct, and a removable tube, which forms a lower section of the supply duct, carries fixed thereto the narrowing portion of the shutter and is removably fixed to the fixed assembly by a second quick coupling.
Centering a container for the processing thereof
A device and method for centering a container during travel into a processing region, wherein the device has: a receiving section configured to receive the container; a guiding section configured to guide a translational movement along a defined trajectory between a receiving position and a processing position; a chamber wall having an opening, wherein the receiving section and the guiding section are configured to insert at least some section of the container into the processing region; a sealing device having an inflatable seal, which is arranged in the opening and configured to adopt a sealing position around a container section in the processing position; and a control device, which is in communication with the sealing device and is configured to at least partially inflate the inflatable seal during the translational movement of the container from the receiving position into the processing position.
