Components
Product tank design
- Pressureless product tank with sterile-air supply
- Product feed from top
- Integration of a special safety function in the control system to transmit a warning signal in the event of a malfunction in the sterile-air supply
Filling valve design
- Filling valve especially designed for filling non-carbonated water
- equipped with a state-of-the-art mass flow meter
- best possible values for the standard deviation
- Filling process in full-jet mode for optimum microbiological safety
- Infinite adjustment of the filling speed by the Krones Proportional Flow Regulator (PFR)
- Latest technology for flow control during filling
- Only available at Krones
The PFR valve: Benefits to you
Optimum adjustment to all product-bottle combination
- Infinitely adjustable flow speed
- Utmost reproducibility due to the identical design of all filling valves
- Applicable for nearly all filling systems
Quickly ready for use
- Plug-and-play principle thanks to the simple, modular replacement of components without need for calibration
- Optimum machine start-up with valve function control and filling program change during start-up
Maximum operational reliability
- Direct monitoring of the valve position, ideal utilisation of the filling angle
- Early failure detection thanks to control current monitoring
Minimised maintenance effort
- Pre-connected lines, minimum wiring requirement
- Simplified troubleshooting as the mechanical and electronic components form a single unit
CIP cleaning
- Hygienic design of CIP program
- Draining of CIP medium via the open filling valves between the infeed and discharge starwheel into a trough
- CIP trough with a recirculation pump for returning CIP media into the CIP circuit
Capper
- Matched to the Krones Hydrofill water filler
- With servo drive technology
- The rotary motion is transferred via gears to the individual capping heads
- Cam and roller controlled vertical movement of the capping heads
Machine table and guards
- Table top with slope on one side central draining point
- Very compact machine layout due to directly attached guards
- The complete system is provided with servo drives
Cap feed system
- Cap feed via Krones Capcade sorter
- Special Krones Checkmat CI inspection unit
- Intelligent sensor inspection unit
- Checks for ovality and cap orientation
- Buffers the sorted caps by means of Krones Accucap Ensures that the machine is emptied
Note: Cap sorter with Checkmat inspection system and Accucap cap buffer system is installed on a separate platform
