Description
Machine for rinsing, filling, filling and capping type MP-64.9 is designed for rinsing the inner cavity of bottles, filling thick milk formulas, liquid fine drinks, filling carbonated water and kvass into polyethylene terephthalate bottles with a capacity of 1000 cm3 and capping them with a plastic screw cap.
MP-64.9 machine (Fig. 1) is a tetrablock, where a rinse aid and a packing column are mounted on the frame volumetric type and an isobaric type filling column, as well as a capping unit. The machine kit includes a pneumatic conveyor section, a chain conveyor section, an electrical cabinet, a cap feed conveyor.
Bottles are fed to the MP machine using a pneumatic conveyor. The machine kit includes a 0.5 meter section of the conveyor, to which the customer’s conveyor is docked.

Rinse aid
The rinsing process on this machine is a short-term washing of the inner surface of the bottles with rinsing water in order to remove dust that is neutral to the accumulation of electrostatic voltage and easily washable contamination in the form of macroparticles that do not have a strong mechanical bond with bottle surface. From the rinse unit, the bottles are transferred by stars to the bottling.
3D Filling Column
Food products (thick milk formulas and liquid fine drinks) are packed into bottles according to the volumetric principle. The filler, when the internal tap is opened, draws the specified volume of the product from the tank, and then, when the external tap is opened, it is packed into bottles.
Isobaric filling column
Bottling of food products into bottles takes place according to the isobaric scheme, the essence of which is that the bottles are filled at a constant pressure in them, equal to the gas pressure in the superficial space of the machine tank. In this case, the liquid flows into the bottle at a constant flow rate. From the filling unit, the bottles filled with the product are transferred to the capper.
Covering unit
In the capping unit of the machine, bottles are capped with a screw plastic cap, which is fed to the cap orientator using a cork feeder.
Snap
The transfer of bottles from one block to another is carried out using equipment consisting of turnstile stars adjustable for different sizes of bottles and stainless steel guides. The equipment is made for a certain size of containers (bottles).
Lubrication system
The machine has a lubrication system, the duration and frequency of which is controlled from the operator’s panel.
All processes carried out by this machine are controlled by the controller.
Cap Feed Conveyor
The cap supply conveyor has a capacity for receiving batches of caps, which it feeds to the capping unit of the machine in the process of working along the conveyor belt.
