Staneyhill Brewery of Shetlands Orders an Automatic Isobaric Miniblock Mod 5 5 1 for Beer

Cuamoc S.A. of Reawick in the Shetland Island, a local artisan brewery producing high quality beers for the local and export markets, has ordered a brand new Automatic Isobaric Miniblock Mod. 5.5.1 for beer for their artisanal brewery.

The machine, supplied by Intercaps Filling Systems S.p.A of Telgate Bergamo, was chosen for its compact dimensions and superior specifications as well as been offered at a very competitive price. The installation is planned to take place in the first quarter of 2013 when the new filler will be in production.

The main features of the 5-5-1 Miniblock for beer are:

  • Linear rinser-equipped with 5 pneumatic pincers. With use of a pneumatic pincer device, the bottles are grabbed from the conveyor line and inverted over the injection nozzles. The bottles are then rinsed with water and re-positioned on the conveyor line.

Isobaric Filling Turret with 5 Filling valves. The bottles are positioned under

the filling valves by a star-wheel.

The filling process phases are as follows:

  1. Air pre-evacuation from the bottles through vacuum pump (double pre-evacuation for the beer available)
  2. Balancing of the bottle pressure through gas inert injection
  3. Isobaric filling
  4. Pressure release

The automatic crown cork turret is equipped with a vibration hopper and stainless steel chute.

The MINIBLOCK 5.5.1 is also suitable also for natural cork and aluminium screw caps application if required.

MINIBLOCK has been designed in a certain way so one operator can load the bottles on the same side of the machine through a bottle infeed/outfeed platform. Dimensions of MINIBLOCK: 1500X1200X2000mm.
