Technical Specifications & Performance Data The KHS Innofill-ER VF
143/20 is a high-speed used isobaric filling monoblock designed for
premium glass bottle applications in beverage production. Engineered
for reliability in industrial packaging environments, it offers
consistent performance for soft drinks, sparkling water, and still
water on a used bottling line. Manufacturer: KHS Model: Innofill-ER VF
143/20 Category: Filling Monoblock (Isobaric) Year of manufacture:
1994 Rated speed: up to 45,000 bottles per hour (format- and
product-dependent) Filler configuration: 143 isobaric filling valves
(rotary) Capper: 20-head Alcoa ROPP, 20 mm (rotary) Container types:
Glass bottles Bottle formats: 0.70 L, 0.75 L Product types: Soft
drinks, water (sparkling), water (still) Electrical: 50 Hz Condition:
In storage Documentation & safety: Manuals available; safety features
included Advanced Automation & Control Systems This Innofill-ER VF
platform employs counter-pressure (isobaric) technology for accurate
fill control and carbonation retention. The machine features
centralized operator controls for speed regulation, valve actuation,
bottle presence detection, and cap application monitoring. Integrated
safety interlocks and emergency stops enhance safe operation, while
recipe-based change parameters support repeatable performance across
formats. The 50 Hz electrical configuration facilitates integration
with standard European automation architectures and line control
systems. Manuals are available to support setup, programming, and
maintenance. Production Line Integration Capabilities Built to serve
as the core of a high-output used bottling line, this monoblock
integrates seamlessly with upstream and downstream equipment for
complete industrial packaging solutions: Upstream compatibility with
bottle handling systems such as depalletizers, washers or rinsers, and
air or table-top conveyors for glass. Downstream compatibility with
labelers (cold glue, pressure-sensitive, or roll-fed for glass),
inspection/reject systems, pasteurizers, packers, and palletizers.
Quick-change starwheels and guides for 0.70 L and 0.75 L formats
support efficient changeovers. CO2 supply connections for
counter-pressure filling; integration-ready for plant CIP skids and
product tanks. While this unit is configured for glass bottles, many
facilities operate parallel lines for PET or aluminum packaging; the
machineâs controls and interfaces allow coordinated production
scheduling within multi-format beverage production plants. Machine
Condition & Maintenance History The unit is currently in storage as a
second hand asset. It is supplied with safety features and available
manuals, facilitating recommissioning, maintenance planning, and
operator training. KHS machine families benefit from robust global
parts and service support, aiding long-term reliability and uptime
when reintegrated into production. Operational Performance &
Versatility The rotary, isobaric filler with 143 valves ensures
high-speed throughput with low oxygen pick-up and excellent CO2
retentionâkey for soft drinks and sparkling water. The 20-head
Alcoa 20 mm ROPP capper delivers precise, consistent sealing quality
for premium glass presentations. Change parts for 0.70 L and 0.75 L
provide format flexibility within the glass segment. Although set up
for water and soft drinks, isobaric technology is widely used in
beverage production and is common across applications such as beer or
wine in similar configurations. This makes the machine a strong fit
for a performance-driven used bottling line seeking efficiency,
hygiene, and repeatable filling and capping results. Installation
Requirements & Site Preparation For a successful installation, prepare
a level industrial floor capable of supporting rotary machinery and
dynamic loads. Provide appropriate infeed/outfeed conveyor interfaces
for glass bottle handling, a compliant 50 Hz electrical supply, and
utilities typical of isobaric filling: compressed air, CO2 for
pressurization, product feed with stable conditioning, and CIP
connections if integrated into a plant-wide cleaning system. Ensure
adequate access for maintenance, guarding clearances, and operator
circulation, as well as cap supply (cap feeder/sorter and chute) for
20 mm ROPP closures. Safety Standards & Compliance Certification
Safety features include interlocked guards, emergency stop circuits,
and bottle/cap detection to mitigate misfeeds and spillage. Hygienic
design principlesâstainless steel product-contact surfaces and
sanitary pipingâsupport quality control for water and soft drink
applications. As with all second hand equipment, onsite verification
of compliance with current machinery directives, electrical standards,
and plant-specific HSE requirements is recommended prior to
commissioning.
