On behalf of our client, we are selling this SIG Asbofill ABF (Aseptic
Bottle Filler), 10-Lane, PET bottle filling machine which is designed
for the aseptic filling of liquid, non-carbonated, microbiologically
sensitive high- and low acid products into prefabricated plastic
bottles. The client bought a new and bigger aseptic filling machine
for extension of his production capacities. This machine is recently
dismantled and located in the warehouse of the dairy factory., The
machine was used the last 8 years to fill protein shakes and milk
related drinks (cold fill) at the current factory. Before it was used
for fruit juices. Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 6-log reduction.
Shell of life of the current products: 9 months. Capacity: 12.000
bottles/h @ 1.000 ml, 10.000 bottles/h @ till 1.500 ml and 8.000
bottles/h @ till 2.000 ml. Filling accurancy: ± 2 ml (filling volume
<1.000 ml) and ± 0,2% (filling volume >1.000 ml). Bottle neck nominal
diameter: 38 mm. With the same nominal bottle neck diameter, different
bottle shapes and sizes can be filled. Production times: for low acid
products, 24 hours between 2 cleaning cycles and for high acid
products, 40 hours between 2 cleaning cycles. The filled bottles are
closed with an aluminium seal before being discharged from the
machine. Later on a screw cap will be assembled. Power: 400 V - 3 Ph -
50 Hz - ± 125 kW. Compressed air: 20-40 m3/h @ 8 bar. Peroxide
(H2O2): <5 liter/h with 1.000 ml bottles. Steam: 150 kg/h @ 6 bar /
150 °C. Water: 12 m3/h. Stainless steel control panel with Siemens S7
PLC and touch screen operation panels. Total dimensions filler: ± 900
x 240 x 600 cm. Weight:± 9.500 kg., The Aseptic Bottle Filler is
completely closed, linear machine with an extremely small aseptic
zone. Effective bottle and closure sterilization with peroxide
technology (H2O2). Non-contact filling system with filling valves.
Positive-displacement flow to reliability maintain aseptic conditions
in the aseptic zone. Integrated valve manifold module including
sterile air preparation on top of the machine. Foam cleaning station
for automatic machine cleaning. Low-pressure air supply unit.
Aluminium sealing / closing station located inside the aseptic zone.
Easy handling of different bottle shapes and materials within same
neck diameter / fast change over., Working principle: Bottles will
arrrive by a bottle conveyor to the filling machine (feeding station
before and conveyors are excluded). The cell bars pick up the bottles
(10x bottles into each cell bar at a time) on the support ring and
transport them to the stations. The transport takes place step by step
in individual cycles. The transport chains are located outside the
aseptic zone. The bottles are transported to the bottle sterilization
station. The inside of the bottle and the outer neck (up to the
support ring) are sterilized using a hydrogen peroxide aerosol
followed by blown-in hot air. 2 steps for spraying the hydrogen
peroxide aerosol, 2 steps stay time, 3 steps for drying with hot air
and 1 step for drying and rinsing with nitrogen. In the filling
station, flow meters fill the product. In the aluminium seal station,
the seal will be sealed by hotsealing to the bottle. The grippers for
bottle removal remove the bottles simultaneously from two cell bars
(2x 10 per removal) and place them on the removal conveyor.,
