Bottle filling machine FLEXO

for the cosmetics industryvolumetric

PKB FLEXO filling machines are capable of achieving outputs of 160 bpm for volumes of up to 400ml. The use of mass flowmeters, judiciously programmed with servodrives, provides remarkably ease of use, resulting in multi-format lines, in terms of various products and varied bottle shapes, for optimized performance and unprecedented flexibility. If pucks are used, lateral transfer of the containers under the filling nozzles makes it possible to optimize the filling time, and thus increases outputs with an equivalent or lower number of nozzles/flowmeters. Indeed, one of the characteristics of the flowmeter is its readiness for filling at any moment, unlike the conventional volumetric systems that require “recharging” the pumps between fillings. PKB's preference for mass flowmeter technology has also two other major advantages: Prophylaxis, through its hygienic design, allowing Cleaning In Place (CIP) in compliance with even the strictest standards: short linear circuit, with no retention areas, no moving parts or parts to be dismantled. Ecology, with the significant reduction in water consumption and effluent discharges. The short linear circuit of the PKB FLEXO mass flowmeter filling machine minimizes the quantity of product left in the filling circuits at the end of each batch. Cleaning water is re-used in a closed cycle before rinsing, which significantly limits water consumption and effluent discharges.
