New development - swing stopper sorting and mounting machine with a rated capacity of 4.500 Bph
As announced in one of our previous news at the end of the last year, we have completed the first 2
fully-automatic swing stopper sorting and mounting machines with this higher rated capacity. These were then delivered
to Italy and successfully commissioned in May 2022. The total output of the fully-automatic machine is 9,000 bottles
per hour. You will find more information and a new product video about this machine on
our product page. If you need further information or have
questions about this product, please do not hesitate to contact us. We're always at your service. Your

NEW PRODUCT - SWING STOPPER AND BOTTLE INSPECTION FOR A RATED SPEED OF 32.000 Bph
A complete and satisfied inspection of swing stoppers and bottles for this performance range is a
challenge for many manufacturers of inspection technology. But not for AMS Getränketechnik !!
In cooperation with a German inspection specialist, we were able to completely convince the Allgäu brewery
and the Radeberger Group of this technology. You will find more information and a new product video about this machine on
our product page. If you need further information or have
questions about this product, please do not hesitate to contact us. We're always at your service. Your

ALLGÄUER BREWERY STARTS UP THE NEW FILLING LINE WITH AMS-MACHINES AND IS UPGRADING THEIR EXISTING LINE WITH AMS!
A BV40 closing machine with 40 closing heads and a RBÖ10 rotary opener with 10 opening
positions have been running there for 13 years to their complete satisfaction.
Since the sales of swing-top bottles have increased significantly in recent years, the management of the
Radeberger Group decided on a new bottling line with a line capacity of 25,000 bottles per hour for the
brewery location in Marktoberndorf. The new swing stopper filling line contains a new swing stopper
closing machine with 40 closing heads and a newly developed rotary opener with 20 opening positions. The
topic of „stopper head and rubber seal inspection“ is very important for the Allgäuer Brewery. A
corresponding solution should not be missing in the new filling line. That’s why a newly developed DGI40
inspection machine with 40 heads, which inspects the swing stopper heads and rubber seal, raises bottling
to a safer standard. These 3 machines were delivered in spring 2021 and successfully commissioned in the
new bottling line.
The existing AMS swing stopper machine of the older generation will be completely upgraded mechanically and electrically to a current standard for the next few years. Also the hygienic standard will be raised again. We would like to thank the Allgäuer Brewery and the Radeberger Group again for their trust.

NEW DEVELOPMENT - ROTARY OPENING MACHINE WITH 18.000 BpH
Since this summer we have again a new addition to the further developments of our AMS
machines and are presenting a rotary opening machine RBÖ with 20 positions. With this machine size, the
nominal output is now 18,000 bottles per hour. In order to bring our opener to a new standard when it
comes to “hygienic design”, we have made some design changes on the machine. The machine table is based on
the curved ARCH table of our swing stopper closing machines. The railing guides or stars are now made of
white plastic and guarantee immediate visibility of dirt or wear.
When it came to the PLC control, we are using again the PLC from B&R. The newly developed visualization offers a user-friendly interface. New additional features such as position tracking of the individual alignment or opening positions are integrated as standard.
You will find more information and a new product video about this machine on our product page. If you need further information or have questions about this product, please do not hesitate to contact us. We're always at your service. Your AMS team!

INCREASED PERFORMANCE IN SWING STOPPER MOUNTING
The
subject of “mounting stoppers to bottles" is nothing new to us. We have been building fully automatic
machines for stopper mounting since 2003. 14 of these assembly systems have already been manufactured and
delivered worldwide. A performance of up to 2,500 bottles per hour was considered sufficient for a long
time. Times have changed enormously and everything should now get faster. We have therefore decided to
double the performance for such special machines in order to meet today's demands of our customers.
With this performance class, AMS and its team are once again proving their absolute pioneering spirit and the associated spirit of development. We are expanding our range to include a BMM-4500 stopper mounting machine with a nominal output of 4,500 bottles per hour. This new development in connection with our fully automatic sorting machines BSM is a further step towards full line automation and digitization (4.0). Such units of this type are currently under construction. If you need further information or have any questions about this product, please do not hesitate to contact us. We're always at your service. Your AMS team!

HYGIENICALLY DESIGNED CLOSING ELEMENT AS THE NEW AMS STANDARD
With the constant hygienic further development of our alignment unit for swing-top
bottles in 2013, we were able to raise the bar in terms of machine cleanliness. The focus was on the open
design, which made it much easier to operate during cleaning. This concept of the open design has now been
applied and revised for the element guides. Here, too, the guide parts have a more open design and are
made of special white plastic.
As with the hygiene tunnel, these hygiene guides are downward compatible and, after technical testing, can be retrofitted in many previous models. If you need further information or have any questions about this product, please do not hesitate to contact us. We're always at your service.

HIGHEST DETECTION RATE FOR RUBBER SEAL AND LOGO INSPECTION
If
you are one of the bottling companies that has been struggling with the problem of broken porcelain
clapper or broken sealing washers for a long time, we can help you with our rubber seal inspection, called
"DGI" for short. Our rubber seal inspection machine detects damaged, missing or contaminated rubber seals
on swing caps and subsequently rejects the bad bottles. Since we are based on the same alignment principle
for this machine as for our clip-on closing machines, we can guarantee an alignment and inspection rate
of> 98% without any problems. Our inspection machines are available in different performance sizes, which
are between 2,000 and 32,000 bottles per hour.
If we have piqued your interest, please do not hesitate to contact us! We're here to help.

AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED HPI FOR AVE Technologies
n May 2020 we received an order from the Italian plant manufacturer AVE Technologies to build two automatic high-pressure injection systems - short called "HPI". A HPI system injects a high pressure jet of hot water into an open bottle causing the contents to foam before the bottle is closed. The system is designed for use with carbonated drinks. Water is passed through a boiler and heated to a controlled temperature (up to 85°C). The heated water is then sprayed/injected into the bottle. As the foam forms in the neck of the bottle it pushes the air out before being sealed. Through this process the shelf life of the product is increased.By the means of a rotary encoder the speed of the filler is calculated and the pressure in the HPI proportionally adjusted. This means that the filler speed is constantly being monitored by the controller and the ideal injection pressure is provided by the pump. This ensures that by every production speed the product has the optimal amount foam in the neck before being closed. The system is design for variable production speeds.
