PA - Alphapack bottle sorting, filling and capping system

Applications & Use Cases

• Filling of beverages such as water, juices, and spirits into bottles.
• Packaging of liquid food products like sauces, oils, and dairy.
• Dispensing of non-food liquids such as detergents, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
• Automated packaging lines requiring integrated sorting, filling, and capping.
• Operations needing to process various bottle sizes and cap types with change parts.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 500 to 3,000 bottles per hour, depending on bottle volume and product viscosity.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with an appropriate amperage rating for the integrated components.

Footprint

An integrated system of this nature, including sorters, fillers, and cappers, typically requires a linear space of 4-8 metres and a width of 1.5-2 metres.

Bottle compatibility

Units of this type are generally designed for PET, HDPE, or glass bottles; change parts are typically required for different bottle shapes and volumes.

Cap compatibility

Systems commonly handle screw caps, snap-on caps, or ROPP caps; the cap sorting bowl and capping head are specific to cap diameter and type.

Filling accuracy

Volumetric or gravimetric filling systems commonly found on units of this type offer high accuracy, typically within +/- 0.5% to 1%.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and inspection of seals and wear components are typically required to ensure optimal performance.
