BRGF Series Glass Bottle 3-in-1 Rinsing-Filling-Capping Machine

Product Overview

The ZOOLINKED BRGF series glass bottle 3-in-1 monoblock filler is a professional rotary filling system that integrates bottle rinsing, liquid filling, and screw capping into one enclosed unit. This integrated design eliminates intermediate conveying links between separate machines, significantly reduces the risk of secondary contamination, and provides a compact production footprint. Specially engineered for glass bottled beverages, this machine serves as the core filling equipment for medium and large beverage production lines of all types.

Equipment Principle

The machine operates on a rotary continuous working principle, driven by precision gear transmission and cam indexing mechanisms to achieve perfectly synchronized operation of all three stations. The entire production process is fully automated and runs as follows:

Empty glass bottles are fed into the rinsing turret via the infeed star wheel system. Specialized clamping grippers hold the bottle neck securely and rotate each bottle 180 degrees with the mouth facing downward. Sterile water under high pressure (2–3 MPa) sprays the inner wall thoroughly to remove dust, particles, and impurities. After sufficient draining time, bottles are rotated back to upright position and smoothly transferred to the filling station via the transfer star wheel.

At the filling station, precision-engineered filling valves align accurately with each bottle mouth and adopt atmospheric gravity filling technology, which is ideally suited for low-viscosity non-carbonated liquids. The filling volume is controlled by a precise liquid level principle to ensure consistent filling accuracy within ±1% tolerance and no dripping during operation.

Filled bottles are then conveyed to the capping station. The automatic cap sorter system sorts and delivers caps to each capping head, which applies precisely controlled constant torque to tighten caps onto bottle mouths for uniform and leak-proof sealing. Finished products are finally discharged to the downstream conveyor through the outfeed star wheel.

Equipment Features

• 3-in-1 Integrated Structure: Rinsing, filling, and capping processes integrated in one enclosed frame, reducing intermediate conveying links and secondary pollution risk with compact layout and minimal floor space requirements.
• Food-Grade Hygienic Design: All product-contact parts manufactured from 304/316L food-grade stainless steel with mirror-polished surfaces, no sanitary dead corners, easy for CIP cleaning and disinfection, fully compliant with food production specifications.
• Wide Bottle Adaptability: Compatible with both round and square glass bottles with diameters of φ50–φ110mm and heights of 150–320mm. Format changeover can be completed quickly by adjusting star wheels and guide rails, with minimal production downtime.
• High-Precision Filling: Gravity filling valve with accurate liquid level control ensures filling accuracy within ±1% tolerance, effectively reducing material loss and ensuring consistent product volume across all production runs.
• Fully Automatic Control: Equipped with industrial PLC control system and color touch screen HMI, supporting production counting, speed adjustment, fault self-diagnosis, and alarm functions for easy operation.
• Stable Continuous Operation: Rotary transmission structure runs smoothly with low operating noise. Core transmission components are manufactured from wear-resistant materials, supporting 24-hour long-term continuous production capability.
• Multiple Safety Mechanisms: Built-in no-bottle no-fill logic, no-cap alarm system, overload protection, and emergency stop devices to ensure equipment operation reliability and personnel safety.
• Variable Frequency Speed Regulation: VFD control system allows flexible adjustment of production speed to match different production demands and product types.
• Standard Rinsing Configuration: Uses sterile water as rinsing medium with adjustable pressure of 2–3 MPa, ensuring thorough and complete cleaning of bottle inner walls.
• Easy Maintenance: Modular design enables quick disassembly and replacement of wearing parts, with low daily operation and maintenance costs and simplified cleaning procedures.
