Model solution for fillers
All rotating bottle fillers are based on a common basic principle:
Through a distribution screw, the bottles are guided one by one on a conveyer belt and via a lead-in star to the filler. After the filling cycle, they reach the capping machine via the lead-in star, and are finally moved to the transport line via the lead-out star.
It is essential that the bottles are filled as fast as possible and then capped immediately. Therefore filler and capping machine always form a block and must be considered as one unit.
In the past, filling and capping machines had a central main drive and all modules were coupled mechanically via gear wheels. In order to be able to react more flexibly and faster to market requirements such as varying bottle types, different seasonal demand or other current trends the industry meanwhile counts on single drives for each module and on coupling via relevant software modules.
