These filling valves represent the most innovative aspect
of ALFATEK isobaric fillers.
The particular technical characteristics are highlighted by some important
aspects:
· opening is directly controlled by
the bottle rising, through the pressure between the mouth-press and the end of
the neck, avoiding the use of exclusion mechanisms that intervene in the
absence of the bottle itself, and also allowing use of the entire potential
filling phase;
· closure, self-levelling and
degassing are controlled by a single rotating system, devoid of slides subject
to wear that require frequent adjustments;
· elimination of all timing
adjustments, even in the event of complete disassembly of the valve, to
simplify maintenance operations;
· elimination of the height
adjustment of the control support rims, normally found in mobile head machines,
with consequent reduction in the time required for format change;
· self-levelling circuit
sanitisation and sterilisation is carried out simultaneously on all the valves
with the machine stopped.
The ALFATEK isobaric valve is covered by an
international patent.
