SPECIFICATIONS

The B6 line guarantee higher levels of productivity yet offer the same flexibility of other machines made by Polaris Automazioni, for example:

BOTTLE SIZE

Handle any shape of bottle: cylindrical, square, triangular, small jars, flasks, shaped bottles etc. from 100 cc to 2 L.

SIMPLE AND FAST

The bottle size changeover involves just a few simple adjustments and without having to change machine parts, in just 15-30 minutes depending on the line configuration.

PRODUCTION CAPACITY

It has a nominal production capacity of 1500 bottles/hour, and different speeds can be selected seamlessly, based on the format.

CAN BE USED BY CO-PACKERS

Its specifications make it ideal for use by co-packers.

SINGLE BOTTLING LINE IN MONOBLOC

The entire line consists of a one-piece machine made entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel (parts coming into contact with the product in AISI 316 available on request).

The B6 line is also available in the special WP “wide pitch” configuration that can handle bottles in sizes up to 120 x 170 mm (such as the typical “carafes”) and labels up to 180 mm wide.

CONFIGURATION

The basic configuration of the B6 line for spirits and liqueurs includes:

  • BLOWER 10-nozzle bottle blower using filtered compressed air, or nitrogen (filter, pressure reducer and pressure gauge, supplied). Alternatively: 10-nozzle rinser that can use running water or a recycled alcohol-based product.
  • FILLING MACHINE 10-nozzle filling unit with vacuum directly in the bottle, complete with a single-screw product-feed pump. The machine has an automatic internal cleaning programme with pipe/false bottles.
  • LEVELLER Levelling device to achieve correct level filling in the bottles with the uptaken product fed back to the tank, reaching millimetre accuracy.
  • CAPPER Capping unit for screw or press-on caps with a 600mm diameter cap feeding hopper.
  • CAPSULE DISPENSER Dispenser for heat-shrink capsules complete with fan-assisted thermal head for heat sealing.
  • LABELLER Labelling unit for self-adhesive body labels (in paper or transparent) with horizontal unwinding.
  • LABELLER Labelling unit for self-adhesive back labels (in paper or transparent) with horizontal unwinding. CODING UNIT Bottle coder by thermic transfer for legal dates and batch numbers.
  • ELECTRIC CONTROL PANEL in a stainless steel cabinet, with Profinet, modem for remote assistance (remote machine diagnostics).
  • TOUCH-SCREEN OPERATOR PANEL (HMI digital display) with pre-set recipes for the various bottle formats, with the operating settings (time for blowing, filling, label unwinding, etc).
  • ACCIDENT-PREVENTION GUARDS CE standard accident-prevention guards with top cover in the filling area.
  • FINAL COLLECTION TABLE for the finished product.

CUSTOMISATION

The B6 line can be highly customised with a configuration matching the specific bottling and packaging needs of the user, adding or removing different heads as required.

The following can be added to the same basement:
  • Suction system for removal of the last drop in the bottle neck at the end of draining.
  • Extra filling pipes for bottles with particularly narrow or long necks.
  • Can also fill PET bottles (if sufficiently stiff).
  • Batch feeders for bottled flavourings, by volume (liquid flavourings), by weight or number (solid flavourings).
  • Feeder hoppers handling all types of screw or press-on cap (the terminal head of the capping unit must be replaced to change from a screw cap to a press-on cap).
  • Manual capping unit for special caps complying with safety standards.
  • Automatic cap elevator, giraffe type.
  • Visual control for checking the integrity of the filled and capped bottles.
  • Additional labelling units (e.g. for the bottle neck label, even 360°).
  • Orientation/centring device for bottles with a cylindrical bottom, with mechanical bottle spotting (for bottles with notch on the bottom), or electronic spotting (also suitable in case of a raised logo or other distinguishing element that can be read by fibre optic or capacitive sensor). The labels are applied (on the front, back and neck if required) simultaneously and immediately after the orientation of the bottle for perfect centring of the 3 labels each other and with the logo on the glass, if any.
  • Head for applying duty stamps, paper/glue or self-adhesive type, “L” shaped, “U” shaped, or square stamp, with the possibility to replace the different loaders.
  • Rotating outlet disk for collection of the final product.
  • Upper hood with motor-operated exhauster for intake of alcohol vapour from the filling room.
  • Machine compliant to process potentially explosive products (ATEX)

Additional customisation needs for future heads available on request.
