5l pet water bottling line

Used Gallardo Bottling Lines, specifically a 5L PET water bottling line, capable of producing 6,000 bottles per hour (bph). This complete line integrates several key components: it features a SMIFORM BLOW MOLDER from 2008, model SR6HC, which is a 6-cavity rotary machine. The core of the line is a GALLARDO MONOBLOCK from 2009, model 16/20. This monoblock includes a rinser with 16 grippers, capable of CIP treatment classified as CLARIFICATION, though it's important to note the recirculation tank is NOT INCLUDED. Following the rinser is a gravity filler with 20 valves. The monoblock is completed with an AROL capper, featuring 4 heads, designed for plastic screw caps, and utilizing a Pick and Place dispensing system for caps. This capper accommodates a workable cap size of 38/31 mm. For container drying, a PENTALINE BOTTLE DRYER from 2023 is installed, indicating a very recent upgrade to the line. Labeling is handled by an AUXIEMBA LABELER from 2010, which uses a Hot melt application method and is equipped with 6 heads. The packaging section includes a DIMAC TUNNEL DIVIDER, model GREEN STAR F, from 2009, which offers a 2-bottle packaging function. A PENTALINE PICKING TABLE is also part of this configuration. Tray forming is accomplished by a MAS PACK TRAY FORMER from 2016, which uses a Nordson Gluer and is designed for 800x1200 mm and 800x600 mm formats. Finally, a ROBOT-MOTOMAN PALLETIZER, model NX100, dating from 2006, handles palletizing, capable of working with 800x1200 mm pallet sizes and is equipped with Safety Protections. This comprehensive used Gallardo bottling line, with its 6,000 bph capacity, is located in Europe and is offered in 'As Is' condition, available as a functional second-hand bottling line for sale.

When inspecting this Gallardo 5L PET water bottling line, start by scrutinizing the SMIFORM BLOW MOLDER (2008, SR6HC, 6-cavity rotary). Focus on the condition of the molds, the stretching rods, and the heating oven elements. Excessive wear on the cam followers or poor alignment in a rotary machine can indicate significant operational stress. Check for compressed air leaks, particularly around the high-pressure blowing stages, which are costly to ignore. Move to the GALLARDO MONOBLOCK (2009, 16/20). For the 16-gripper rinser, manually inspect all gripping jaws for wear and tear, and verify spray nozzle integrity. Since the CIP recirculation tank is not included, understand the previous operational method and plan for necessary piping and control logic integration. On the 20-valve gravity filler, examine the condition of the filling valves for leaks, worn seals, or signs of improper cleaning, which can harbor bacterial growth. For the AROL capper (4 heads, 38/31 mm plastic screw caps), pay close attention to the pick-and-place mechanism's timing and wear on the capping chucks and cap sorting bowl; proper torque application is critical for security. Although the PENTALINE BOTTLE DRYER is from 2023, verify its integration into the existing control system. For the AUXIEMBA LABELER (2010, Hot melt, 6 heads), look for consistent hot melt application and check the condition of the glue wheels, scrapers, and cutter units. Improperly maintained hot melt systems can lead to stringing or inconsistent label placement. The DIMAC TUNNEL DIVIDER (2009, GREEN STAR F) and the MAS PACK TRAY FORMER (2016, Nordson Gluer) should be checked for mechanical wear on moving parts, conveyor belts, and glue system nozzles. On the 2006 ROBOT-MOTOMAN PALLETIZER (NX100), despite having safety protections, thoroughly inspect the robot's arm, end-of-arm tooling, and overall movement accuracy. Verify that all safety interlocks are functional and the programming is intact. Request any available maintenance logs, electrical schematics, and a list of common spare parts that the previous owner kept on hand, as this provides insight into the line's history and potential future needs.

Setting up this Gallardo 5L PET water bottling line, rated at 6,000 bph, requires careful planning for material flow and machine synchronization. Upstream of the SMIFORM BLOW MOLDER, you'll need robust PET preform handling and feeding systems to ensure a steady supply to the 6-cavity rotary machine. Given the 6,000 bph speed, consider buffer zones before the blow molder to manage any preform delivery inconsistencies. Downstream from the blow molder, a mass conveyor system should feed bottles directly into the GALLARDO MONOBLOCK's 16-gripper rinser. For the CIP treatment, even with the clarification type listed, since the recirculation tank isn't included, you'll immediately need to source and integrate an appropriate tank and associated pumping/filtration system to fully leverage the rinser’s CIP capability. The 20-valve gravity filler implies a constant product supply system, so ensure your water treatment and storage tanks can consistently deliver clean water to meet the 6,000 bph demand. Adequate accumulation conveyors are crucial between the monoblock, particularly after the AROL capper, and the AUXIEMBA LABELER to prevent stoppages from cascading down the line. Similarly, after the labeler and before the DIMAC TUNNEL DIVIDER and MAS PACK TRAY FORMER, a short accumulation table will help smooth out minor speed differences. For format changes, particularly for the 38/31 mm cap size on the AROL capper and the 800x1200 mm / 800x600 mm tray formats, make sure to inquire about readily available change parts for all bottle contact points and packaging machinery. Throughput balancing is key; while the line is rated at 6,000 bph, verify the actual operating speed of each component during a site visit, especially the older units like the 2006 palletizer, to ensure no single machine becomes a bottleneck. The recent 2023 PENTALINE BOTTLE DRYER suggests good drying capacity, but its integration with the older line components should be reviewed for seamless operation, ensuring bottle stability post-rinse and pre-label.
