Machine type
The Unique 1000 is an automatic packaging machine for liquid foodstuff in bottles: the packaging cycle runs without manual intervention and the operator simply supervises and controls production through the PLC.
It is suitable for packaging milk, drinking yoghurt, sauces, juices, egg products, still drinks and similar products, in glass or plastic bottles.
Being an automatic machine, it can be connected to the customer’s existing plant for loading the bottles.
Features
The Unique 1000 works in 5 stages, carried out in sequence within the same machine: container loading, container rinsing and sterilisation, dosing, capping and unloading.
Container loading
Bottles are loaded automatically from the dedicated conveyor belt at the inlet.
Container rinsing and sterilisation
The rinsing device is equipped with 12 rotating grippers, which ensure the correct rinsing and draining time.
Rinsing is carried out with sterile water (sterilised through a 7" filter and UV-C lamp) or with steam.
Dosing
Main product dosing ranges from 50 to 2000 ml, for a wide range of products, in glass or plastic bottles; size changeover takes just a few minutes. Hourly capacity is approximately 1000 bottles/hour (actual capacity depends on the characteristics of the product and packaging).
Dosing is carried out by electronic flow meters with membrane valves, for maximum precision and hygiene. The system is complete with an isobaric product hopper with level probes and process valves.
Capping
The capping carousel is equipped with a vibrating or magnetic orientator, to automatically sort a large quantity of caps, plus a chute and cap positioner.
A dedicated screwing spindle, specifically designed for each individual cap, ensures correct screwing.
Unloading
Packaged bottles are unloaded onto a conveyor belt.
Cleaning solutions
The Unique 1000 has a complete cleaning and sterilisation system, with CIP and SIP.
CIP (cleaning in place): all parts in contact with food can be CIP-cleaned, and the recirculation system, of new design, ensures maximum simplicity and efficiency. The PLC has an automatic washing programme already installed, which can be modified according to the customer’s needs.
SIP (sterilisation in place): before production, the entire dosing system is sterilised with steam. The device is equipped with filters, pressure gauges, valves and everything needed for perfect sterilisation.
A washing tank for the parts in contact with the product is available as an option; it can be used as a small recirculation circuit or to connect the machine to the customer’s CIP.
Industry 4.0
The machine is managed by a touch-screen PLC, which makes the entire machine Industry 4.0 certifiable. Remote support is included.
High Clean and Extended Shelf Life
For ESL (Extended Shelf Life) products, High Clean packaging is available as an option. It includes an H14 HEPA filter (filtration efficiency 99.995%) for sterile air injection inside the machine, bottle sterilisation with hydrogen peroxide injection and activation with heated air, and a UV-C lamp applied to the cap positioner chute.
Accessories and options available
- ESL packaging (High Clean): H14 HEPA filter, bottle sterilisation with hydrogen peroxide and UV-C lamp;
- Aluminium-lid capper: the lids are obtained fully automatically from an aluminium coil, with a device designed and manufactured by Pasin SRL, and a bronze welding head ensures correct sealing;
- Washing tank for the parts in contact with the product, which can be used as a small recirculation circuit or for connection to the customer’s CIP;
