Description
Used CFT Oil Filling Monoblock – Comaco 6000 bph – Overview
This second hand CFT–COMACO RVAR 6/10 + TA/3 is a volumetric piston filling and press-on capping monoblock engineered for edible oil. Built in 2008 and currently in production, it is a proven asset for industrial packaging environments looking to expand or upgrade a used bottling line.
We can sell as it is see and like or with maintenance operation to prepare the monoblock for the production.
The monoblock couples a 6-piston out-of-neck volumetric filler with a 3-head press-on capper equipped with pick & place. It is set up for 5 L PET and supplied with change parts for multiple PET and tinplate formats. Manuals and CE safety guarding are included.

- Micrometric volume adjustment via cam reducer; adjustable even during machine motion
- Volume compensation versus product temperature (automatic correction for ±2 °C delta)
- Per-doser volume fine correction
- NO CAN–NO FILL device prevents valve opening without a container
- Product level control in hopper with min/max/emergency signals; emergency level triggers machine stop
- Pneumatic system with pressure reducer group and pressure switch for automatic stop on low air pressure
- Cap presence control on outfeed and capping-completed verification
- Container presence/reading control and tinplate container orientation system at infeed
- Internal machine lighting for enhanced visibility
Production Line Integration Capabilities
Designed to slot into a used bottling line for edible oil within industrial packaging settings:
- Integrated container conveyor in stainless steel with synchronization screws, infeed extension and loading table
- Transfer starwheel between filler and capper
- Product changeover system with recovery tank beneath the track, stainless discharge piping and coupling to plant lines; dedicated pump included
- Standard electrical interfaces and signaling via Siemens PLC for upstream/downstream equipment
- Note: monoblock includes filler and press-on capper; no rinser or blowing machine is included
