Automatic PET bottle juice production line 3 in 1

Main features
• Feeding from the bottom of the central manifold for product distribution from an external tank.
• Entirely stainless steel (grade **4) draining base.
• External tank for recovery of recirculated product.
• Reliable, simple and easily sanitized valve.
• Reduced changeover down-times.
• Pneumatic filling valve opening/closing controls, no electronics in the machine.
• Very small recirculation amount in valve to maintain the temperature in the event of a machine stoppage.
• PET bottle transfer - neck-handling - with no need for monoblock height adjustment.

Filling valve
Extremely fast, simple and reliable patented mechanical valve.
It is operated by a pneumatic control located inside the movement carriage, so allowing control of the opening and closing phases.
The control is not in contact with the product so as to prevent any possibility of contamination.
The valve allows filling with products containing large pieces of pulp and fibre.
Possibility of filling to brim.
The filling process has been designed to maintain the temperature of the whole circuit (valves, tanks, pipes) even in the event of long stops.

Hygiene
No dynamic gaskets in contact with the product. Small number of static gaskets, all fitted in open groove (and therefore fully sanitizable).
No wells or dead areas inside in order to prevent possible stagnation of product and increase efficiency of washing cycles.
The absence of springs in the down element of the valve is a fundamentally important aspect with regard to hygiene and maintenance.
Sanitation cycle with the use of dummy bottles. Fitting and removal of these takes place in an extremely simple and functional way by means of a special bayonet connection to avoid direct contact between operator and valve.
Circuit preset for high temperature CIP.
