Custom Turnkey System Custom Built Filler

600 per minute w/ Two Different Style Cappers Fully Integrated
This Custom Built System was constructed
at the request of a large beverage copacker.
System consists of an all stainless steel US
Bottlers PGF80 80 head pressure overflow filler,
an Alcoa 24 head rotary pick and place capper,
as well as a Silgan model VG Capper.
All machines were sychronized using
Kinetix servo drives on each unit
and a very robust custom control panel.
Extended feed screw kits were built
and installed between each machine,
from discharge star to the infeed of the next,
with 100% container control through the system.
There was an extreme amount of logic required as well,
such as an automatic disconnect on the top
end of the VG capper as to eliminate wear
when not needed.
When the VG was the operating capper,
the alcoa stood stationary as well
w/ bypass bottle handling change parts again,
to eliminate unnecessary wear.
Desired method for the system to operate obtained
by a simple "mode" change on the HMI touchscreen.
Units could be adjusted on axis "on the fly",
which means one could tune the system
while watching containers actually run,
then just reset "home" on the servos when tuned.
This system, while capable of 725 per minute
operated at a comfortable 600 per minute,
16.9 oz plastic, and 16 oz glass.
