Overview of the Machine

The Automatic RFC Isobaric Carbonated Beverage Filling Machine for PET bottles is purpose-built for carbonated beverages, where carbonation retention, hygiene, and sealing integrity are crucial. It is ideal for a variety of beverages, including:

• Carbonated soft drinks

• Soda and aerated beverages

• Sparkling flavored beverages

• Energy drinks

• Functional carbonated formulations

• Tonic and mixer beverages

Carbonated beverages require careful handling during bottling. They demand:

• Controlled turbulence to prevent foam

• Zero oxygen ingression to preserve carbonation

• Stable CO₂ pressure for consistency

• Accurate fill levels to maintain product quality

• Reliable sealing to ensure leak-proof bottles

This machine addresses all these factors through its advanced counter-pressure isobaric filling system, supported by a stainless-steel frame, sophisticated valve engineering, and synchronized rotary handling. The result is a system that delivers consistent output over long production cycles with minimal operator supervision.

Machine Design & Construction

Designed for long-term operational durability, the monoblock system uses a robust stainless-steel frame, SS304/SS316L product contact parts, and hygienic construction throughout. The layout ensures effortless cleaning, low maintenance, and safe operation.

Key construction features include:

• Rotary rinsing turret with neck-handling grips for stable bottle movement

• Pressurized isobaric filling bowl to maintain carbonation stability

• ULTRA mechanical isobaric valves for precise filling

• Star-wheel bottle transfer system for smooth movement

• High-speed plastic screw capping turret

• Full body guarding with safety interlocks to ensure operator safety

• PLC and HMI automation with built-in diagnostics for monitoring and performance tracking

This configuration ensures high performance, longevity, and reliability for continuous production under demanding conditions.

Working Process

The RFC Isobaric Carbonated Drink Rinser Filler Capper Machine performs three synchronized processes:

1. Rinsing

Every PET bottle undergoes an internal cleaning cycle prior to filling. The rinsing section uses:

• Neck-handling gripping system for bottle stability

• Stainless-steel spray nozzles for precise cleaning

• Sterile air or water rinsing to remove contaminants

• Controlled inversion & drainage for optimal cleanliness

• "No Bottle – No Rinse" operation to prevent waste

This ensures that all bottles are clean and free of dust, particles, or contaminants before entering the filling module.

2. Isobaric Filling (Counter-Pressure Technology)

The isobaric counter-pressure filling system is crucial for carbonated beverage bottling. The machine uses:

• ULTRA 2-step mechanical filling valves

• CO₂ pressurization and pressure equalization

• Oxygen removal through pre-evacuation

• Turbulence-free long-tube filling to minimize foam formation

• Controlled venting for precise fill levels

Isobaric Filling Cycle:

1. The bottle is lifted and sealed beneath the filling valve.

2. Internal air is evacuated to reduce oxygen content.

3. CO₂ pressurization prepares the bottle for filling.

4. The beverage flows once the pressures are matched.

5. The system minimizes turbulence to prevent foam.

6. Snift action releases excess pressure to achieve the correct fill level.

Benefits of Isobaric Filling:

• Maintains carbonation integrity

• Reduces foaming during filling

• Ensures consistent fill volume

• Preserves flavor profile and enhances shelf life

• Controls headspace to prevent overflow

This system ensures each bottle is perfectly carbonated, preserving product quality and taste.

3. Capping (Plastic Screw Capping)

PET bottles require high-precision screw capping to ensure secure, tamper-proof sealing. The machine uses:

• High-speed rotary capping heads

• Magnetic torque adjustment for precise sealing

• Stabilized PET bottle holders to prevent movement

• Automatic cap feeder and chute for continuous operation

• "No Bottle – No Cap" system to prevent waste

This guarantees leak-proof, tamper-resistant sealing in all bottle formats.

Salient Features

• Fully automatic RFC monoblock system

• Supports 100 ml to 1000 ml PET bottles

• Stainless-steel structure with hygienic design
