Used Isobaric Filling Monoblock Glass Bottles KHS Innofill-ER VF 143/20

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 machine’s 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 retention—key 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 principles—stainless steel product-contact surfaces and sanitary piping—support 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.
