Functional description
The
pre-filled bottles are transported by an infeed worm from the conveyer belt to the rotating in-feed star. This
passes the bottles to the rotating conveying star, which transports the bottles through the individual
stations. The bottles stand on a turntable and are initially guided along the bottle alignment rail. Here, the
bottle is slowed down by a belt and is forced to rotate. When the bottle reaches the correct position, the
clip is fixed into the guide. In the next station, the stopper is positioned onto the mouth of the bottle. The
swing top is then pressed down by a pneumatically operated locking barrel, and finally the bottle is returned
to the conveyer belt by an out-feed star.
Machine design
All
elements are made from rust-proof stainless steel (1.4301) and hard-wearing, durable plastic (PAS 10 and PAX
LX). Soiling can be rinsed off with hot water (up to 90° C). The moisture created by this acts as a lubricant
when the plant is re-started. The lower part of the plant is formed by a solid frame which is welded together
from NIRO stainless steel tubes. The upper part of the plant is fitted with a transparent protective covering
as standard.
Hygienic Design
Our single
carousel swing stopper closing machines are built in hygienic design. The main focus of the hygienic design is to provide an
easy cleanability of the materials, surfaces and structural elements.
Bottle rejection system
Our single
carousel swing stopper closing machines can be combined with a bottle rejection system. This system is used to remove bad bottles from the production flow.
Noise protection enclosure
The swing stopper closing machine is fitted by default with a transparent safety enclosure made of composite safety glass (CSG) in
accordance with DIN 12543-2. Noise emissions are reduced as a result and the operator is isolated from the
hazard zone. CSG is a laminate safety glass that does not shatter when broken. Reducing the risk of injury in
the case of an accident.
Bottle burst detection
The fact that a
broken bottle, also known as a "bottle burst", can sometimes happen in the filling line cannot be prevented -
but an immediate reaction should be taken if a bottle breaks. Flying pieces of glass could get into bottle
containers and cause a potential hazard.
Why AMS?
In addition to many years of industry experience and specialization in technology related to the swing lock, our systems have a high safety and quality standard. Standard-compliant machine components from leading manufacturers, the highest quality seals and the finest materials are used in this system and guarantee problem-free operation.
