Cimec America AM/DPS 9/8/IC/IVA Rinser, Filler and Capper

• Bottling lines for still and carbonated beverages, including water, soft drinks, and juices.
• Packaging of alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and spirits.
• Filling of liquid food products like oils, sauces, and dairy alternatives.
• Suitable for pharmaceutical and chemical liquids requiring precise filling and capping.

Typical capacity

For this class of integrated rinser-filler-capper, capacities commonly range from 1,000 to 6,000 bottles per hour, depending on bottle size and product viscosity.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on throughput and features.

Bottle compatibility

This model is generally designed for glass or PET bottles, with change parts required for different bottle diameters and heights.

Filling technology

The 'DPS' in the model name often indicates a pressure filling system, suitable for both still and carbonated products, ensuring consistent fill levels.

Capping mechanism

The 'IC/IVA' designation suggests compatibility with various cap types, typically screw caps (plastic or aluminium) and possibly crown caps, with interchangeable capping heads.

Rinsing stations

Integrated rinsers commonly feature multiple nozzles for internal bottle cleaning, often using water or sterilising solution, before the filling process.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used rinser-filler-capper?

  Regular maintenance commonly involves checking and replacing seals, gaskets, and bearings, along with calibration of filling nozzles and capper heads. Lubrication of moving parts and general cleaning are also essential.

• Can this machine handle different bottle sizes?

• Is this machine suitable for carbonated beverages?

• What space requirements should I consider for this equipment?

• What level of automation can be expected?

Bottle filling equipment remains a reliable workhorse in pharmaceutical and laboratory settings. Buyers typically value machines offering consistent fill accuracy, straightforward maintenance, and durable construction. When purchasing used units, inspecting seals, calibration history, and cleaning accessibility proves essential. Industry sentiment favours models with simple mechanical designs over complex systems, as these tend to perform more predictably across different viscosity ranges. Stainless steel components and documented service records are commonly sought features. Equipment generally holds value well given its essential role in production workflows.
