New Cimec AML2/2/1-1 filling line

Description

New Filling Monoblock CIMEC AML 2-2-1-1 up to 400 cph


The monobloc with electro-pneumatic isobaric filler reaches a maximum nominal production of 400 cans-bottles/hour on the 0.33L format and depending on the product. The nominal speed in fact indicated refers to the production with light, blond and fully fermented beer, wines, and/or other carbonated products with maximum CO₂ content of 5gr/L and filling temperature of 0° to +4° C. To fill carbonated products henceforth with different CO₂ content, temperature, density and fermentation, can lengthen the filling cycle time as decompression can take longer and other variations can also occur. Therefore, the production speed of the machine can be lower.


Containers filled by the Filling Monoblock CIMEC AML2-2-1-1


The machine can indeed process aluminum containers of different heights and diameters. The tap can be used to fill STANDARD, SLIM and SLEEK cans and CYLINDRICAL GLASS BOTTLES. The machine therefore can work also with 200 and 202 lids after purchasing the accessories and 26mm and 29 ferromagnetic crown caps after purchasing the accessories.


HEIGHT AND DIAMETERS RANGE FOR BOTTLES


– Min height/max height: 180/350mm


– Min diameter/max diameter: 55/90mm


 
HEIGHT AND DIAMETERS RANGE FOR CANS


– Min height/max height: 110/168mm


– Min diameter/max diameter: 55/90mm


WORKING LEVEL HEIGHT:


1050+/-50mm


MACHINE COMPOSED BY: rinser, filler, seamer, crowner


Single treatment rinser, with water


The machine is linear, with two grippers with interchangeable gripping pads depending on whether you are processing cans or bottles. The containers that arrive in the machine by the chain are stopped by the screw. The pincers block the container, lift it, hence turn it upside down. With the container upside down, water is injected for rinsing and after, dripping. Then the container is repositioned on the chain and the screw conveys the containers under the filling valves, stopping a second time.


Isobaric filling in the Filling Monoblock CIMEC AML2-2-1-1




When the containers are in position, pneumatic pistons lift them until they seal the filling valves. Depending on how the cycle has been previously set via the control panel, filling will take place. Therefore from the panel you can choose whether to carry out a filling with pre-evacuation or not, whether with two pre-evacuations, levelling and for how long for each phase.

Once filling is complete, the valve closes and the container is depressurized, bringing it to ambient pressure. The cylinders lower, allowing the containers to return to the chain and continue towards the closing phase.


Closing containers




The monobloc is equipped with a rotating single-head turret where a crown capper and a seamer are mounted. Depending in fact on what you want to use, you will need to rotate the support of 180° to choose one device or the other.


In the case of CANS, the LID DISPENSER must be used.


It is a dedicated and permanently installed turret after the filler and before the rotating capper.

The can, now finally  full of product, continues its run on the conveyor belt and, coming into contact with the lid, picks it up while an injection device present on the descent channel injects sterile gas inside it.


Seamer


After lid distribution, the can is conveyed inside a transfer star, which, thanks to a rotary movement with cam stop, turns and brings the full can to a sensor which detects its presence. A movement of the star brings the can onto a mechanical cylinder with an idle support plate which lifts it, bringing it into contact with the spindle which is activated with the presence of the can and the lid, starting the seaming cycle.

The movement of the spindle is managed by a motor with inverter control and the movement of the 1st and 2nd operation rolls is also managed by a cam driven by a “step-by-step” motor with encoder. The rotating star returns the full and sealed can to the conveyor belt finally ready for packaging.


In case of BOTTLES


The containers from the filler will be conveyed into the capping turret which will have previously been positioned for use with the crown capper. The crown capper, being equipped with a magnet in the head for holding the crown caps, will therefore not be able to work with aluminum caps.
