Estimating the term…
A system and method for filling liquid products into bottles are described. The system comprises a machine block with a blow-molding machine for providing a flow of bottles, with a labeler for labeling the flow of bottles, with a first and second transport stretch, each comprising a filler for filling the bottles, and with a distribution unit dividing the labeled flow of bottles to the transport stretches when the transport is fully populated at all circulating labeling positions of the labeler and all circulating filling positions of the fillers. The filling system comprises outflow conveyors downstream of the fillers, with a combining device for combining the transport stretches to form a common outflow for the flow of bottles, thereby reducing the transport speed during filling and subsequent handling of the bottles, as well as problems due to the product in the bottles spilling over during the closure process.
A filling system for liquid products, comprising:
A method for filling liquid products into bottles, where said bottles are manufactured in a blow-molding machine and supplied as a single-lane flow of bottles to a labeler and labeled there at all circulating labeling positions, where said flow of bottles is thereafter divided onto a first transport stretch and a second transport stretch, and each partial flow is filled in a separately associated filler, where said bottles are transported in a machine block from manufacture to filling process, and said labeled flow of bottles is divided onto said first and second transport stretches when the transport is fully populated such that said bottles are filled at all circulating filling positions of said fillers.
