Equipment Description
Complete BW Integrated Systems Promec Fill Jet Flash Pasteurisation PET Bottle Rinse, Fill, Capping and Cooling Line

Process Description

Commissioned in 2018 by BW Integrated Systems this complete integrated PET bottle rinse, fill and capping line is designed to fill 330ml plastic bottles with pasteurised liquid beverage, 'Hot Fill'. The line has had little use since its installation in a research and development facility producing small batch runs of circa 1000 bottles. The line could be easily adapted to operate in continuous production and can process larger size bottles without additional tooling due to handling of bottles via the neck.

  • Capacity is 3000 bottles per hour
  • Bottle dimensions = Type 1 - Diameter 61.7mm, Height 157mm, Type 2 - Diameter 62mm, Height 173.7mm

    Empty bottles are manually placed onto the infeed conveyor and transferred into the neck holding conveyor. A filtered air blower unit assists bottle conveying. As soon as the bottles enter the Promec Fill Jet filling enclosure, the nine head rotary washer rinses them with filtered water supplied from an external stainless steel tank and pump via 1.0 µm and 0.2µm Pall cartridge filters. HEPA filtered air is supplied to the enclosure from an overhead plenum. The filler enclosure is open at the base to allow free draining following routine cleaning. After the rinsing phase, the bottles are passed onto the nine head rotary volumetric filler. The filling process is validated to fill at 87 degrees Celsius +/-2 degrees. Each half-inch filling nozzle is fitted with an Endress & Hauser Dosimag electromagnetic volumetric flowmeter. Product is delivered to the filler from a recirculating pumping buffer tank skid that controls the flow rate and pressure. Product flow rate is set at 1250L/h. Maximum throughput for both product and CIP is 3000L/h. Cleaning in place of the filler is possible with integrated stainless steel return lines positioned on each filling nozzle. Fitting of a small stainless steel cap on each nozzle is all that is required before the automated CIP process starts. The bottles are capped immediately after filling via the three head rotary capper. Lids enter the machine via a manually loaded hopper and elevator. An unscrambler is located directly above the capper. As the filled and capped bottles exit the machine, the FT SYSTEM checks level and lid presence. Rejects are ejected automatically.

    The conveying system then travels into a bottle inverting enclosure that turns the bottles trough 90 degrees in order to complete the sanitisation of the bottle internals. The inverter is also fitted with a stainless steel spray bar that can be used to manually sanitise the conveyor belt when not in production use.
    Bottles are printed with up to four lines of data using the Domino Inkjet printer on exit from the inverter.

    Finally, bottles are conveyed through the TMCI Padovan Blendtech cooling tunnel. The tunnel has a large sump in the base to recycle cool water over the bottles via spray bars to cool the contents down. The water quality in the sump is constantly monitored for conductivity and dosed with biocide and inhibitor accordingly. There is a batching plant skid and tank for making up product, pasteurisation and CIP. The 570L Moeschle stainless steel tank is used to manually batch ingredients. It is fitted with a top mounted agitator and sprayballs for CIP. A tube in tube heat exchanger uses raw steam to perform the pasteurisation process. The process is validated for a hold time of 15 seconds at 93 degrees Celsius. A spool piece can be used to divert the flow to increase the hold time to 30 seconds. For CIP the system runs at 121 degrees Celsius. Critical temperature is monitored at either end of the unlagged holding phase line to guarantee pasteurisation/sanitisation. The heat exchanger is set up to economise the latent heat in the already heated product/CIP. By removing a strainer upstream from the heat exchanger, the system can process products (popular in Asia) that include suspended solids or inclusions up to 5mm in diameter.

    The line has been routinely serviced by the OEM (BW Integrated Systems) and all calibrations (Endress & Hauser) performed up to 2021, certificates are available.All product contact parts are constructed using 316L Stainless Steel. All OEM manuals and drawings available in hard and soft formats. Lots more pictures available on request
