Description

Used Bottling Line for champagne, sparkling and still wine 4000 bph

Product Compatibility and Filling Technology

This bottling line processes still wine, sparkling wine, and champagne with high efficiency. Specifically, it handles only glass bottles and uses an isobaric filling system, which ensures precise control when filling pressurized liquids, such as sparkling products. As a result, wineries that produce multiple wine types with different physical and chemical properties can rely on this line for consistent, adaptable operation. In other words, the system addresses diverse product demands without compromising output quality.

Performance Output by Bottle Format

Depending on the bottle format, the line delivers different outputs. It processes both 0.20l and 0,375l bottles at 4,500 bottles per hour. Meanwhile, it handles 0,75l bottles at 4,000 bottles per hour and 1.5l bottles at 2,000 bottles per hour. Therefore, this production speed suits medium-scale wineries that require flexibility while maintaining industrial performance.

Commissioning, Runtime, and Immediate Availability

Technicians installed the line in 2022. Since that time, it has operated for 1,800 hours and produced approximately 2,400,000 bottles. The system continues to run in production, which means it remains in good operational condition. Furthermore, its immediate availability offers an advantage to wineries needing rapid deployment. Because of this, buyers can integrate the equipment without significant downtime.

Primary Bottling Block: Depalletizing, Rinsing, Filling, and Capping

The process starts with a Duetti Packaging depalletizer, model M, which automatically feeds empty bottles into the system. Subsequently, the GAI monoblock, model 4033RES-HP-A01, performs rinsing, filling, and capping in a single integrated unit. The dual-stage rinser (water + gas) uses 16 grippers to sanitize bottles. A high-pressure electropneumatic filler with 24 valves carries out isobaric filling. Notably, the 3-head rotary corker applies straight corks, champagne-style mushroom corks, plastic closures, and aluminum screw caps. Moreover, the monoblock includes multi-format screws, motorized guide adjustments, dummy bottles for internal rinser sterilization, and a solenoid valve kit to switch between gas and cleaning liquid inputs. Altogether, this configuration provides high precision, minimal changeover time, and excellent bottle handling.

CIP and Quality Control: Cleaning and Inspection Systems

To maintain hygiene, the WIN&TECH CIP unit, model Win&Guard C 23.05, manages automatic cleaning via a steam-water heat exchanger and a three-stage filtration system across two independent circuits. Additionally, this system allows operators to sanitize the internal components between production runs without disassembly. At the same time, the CMP inspection unit, model CV-MUF108, performs continuous quality control. More specifically, it detects anomalies in filling level and cap placement in real-time. Thus, the system ensures regulatory compliance and final product integrity.

End-of-Line Processing: Drying, Capsule Application, and Labeling

A NERI MA03 dryer removes external moisture from each bottle before the downstream phase. Following this, the ROBINO & GALANDRINO capsule applicator, model ZENITH F 3/18 Ottico DC, applies and finishes capsules using three separate turrets. The first turret aligns bottles and capsules with six heads; the second turret folds the capsules with six pneumatic heads; the third turret smooths them with six more pneumatic heads. In parallel, the MAKRO rotary labeler, model MAK-3 8P UA4 L4 CO1, manages labeling with four self-adhesive stations and motorized three-axis adjustment. Importantly, it includes built-in provisions for laser marking integration. This end-of-line configuration guarantees precise capsule application, reliable labeling, and optimal presentation for high-end wine bottling.
