Flat product rinser-filler-capper HEVF

for empty PET/HDPE bottlesliquidsfor bottles

Overview
The HEVFe series are Hyper-clean electronic volumetric fillers designed for volumetric filling of flat products into PET bottles. Each filling valve is controlled by a dedicated flow meter to ensure accurate volume control and fast valve closure.

Main features

• Dedicated high-precision flow meter for each filling valve
• Simplified filling valve with reduced gasket count and two-stage filling (slow + fast)
• No contact between filling valve and bottle during filling
• Interchangeable valve terminals to handle a wide range of products
• Reduced maintenance time and costs

Basic version — included features

• 18" HMI touch screen with recipe management
• Direct format parameter control via HMI
• Tool-less quick changeover for bottle guide equipment
• Manual dummy bottles for cleaning and sanitization (automatic positioning on request)
• Product pump to maintain constant pressure during filling
• Compact welded frame for space saving and reduced transport volume

Operation — main process steps

• 1 INFEED CONVEYOR: PET bottles are transported into the machine via an air conveyor; flow is regulated by a pneumatic gate that feeds the first star wheel.
• 2 TRANSFER: INLET - RINSER: Bottles are transferred by a rotating star wheel handling by the neck towards the rinser.
• 3 RINSER: Rinsing turret uses rubber grippers to invert the bottle and align the lip with the rinsing nozzle; nozzle dispenses water or air; each turret has a "no bottle–no spray" system.
• 4 TRANSFER: RINSER – FILLER: Neck-handled star wheel transfers bottles to the filling carousel.
• 5 FILLER: Gripper holds the bottle neck under the valve; electronic volumetric filling with magnetic flow meters for conductive products or Coriolis for non-conductive products; pulse counting controls valve closure; system includes "no bottle–no fill" protection.
• 6 TRANSFER: FILLER – CAPPER: Filled bottles move to the capping turret via rotating star wheel.
• 7 CAPPER: Caps fed by pick-and-place star wheel; capping head applies caps by rotation or pressure; includes "no bottle–no cap" protection.
• 8 OUTLET CONVEYOR: Rinsed, filled and capped bottles are conveyed out via an air conveyor with automatic height adjustment.

Technical data — Advantages
