Fimer bottling line

Used Fimer BOTTLING LINE Bottling Lines, available as a comprehensive setup designed for glass bottles at a speed of 1200 BPH. This second-hand bottling line presents a clockwise operating direction, a crucial detail for integration into existing plant layouts. The line begins with a Fimer SA 9 Rinser, manufactured in 2005. This rinser is equipped with 9 clamps, features electric carousel height adjustment for accommodating various bottle sizes, and utilizes a fixed nozzle for single treatment rinsing. Following the rinser is a Fimer RT 9-S-BI Monoblock, dating from 1997. This monoblock integrates a 9 gravity filling valve filler, suitable for efficient product transfer into the glass bottles. It also includes a single head corker, configured specifically for straight corks. The final component of this used fimer bottling line is a MEB ADL 02 I GL Labeller, produced in 2003. This linear labeller operates from left to right and is fitted with one adhesive station. All units within this fimer bottling line 1200 BPH system are equipped with safety protections, ensuring operational security. This complete system is currently located in Europe and offered in 'As Is' condition.

When inspecting this Fimer bottling line, beyond the stated 1200 BPH and clockwise flow, scrutinize the Fimer SA 9 Rinser from 2005. Pay close attention to the 9 clamps; check for any signs of wear, particularly on the gripping surfaces that contact the glass bottles. Ensure the electric carousel height adjustment moves smoothly and isn't binding, as this mechanisim can seize if not maintained. Verify the fixed nozzle for any corrosion or blockage, impacting single treatment efficacy. For the 1997 Fimer RT 9-S-BI Monoblock, a critical area is the condition of the 9 gravity filling valves. Look for leaks, damaged gaskets, or internal scoring that could affect fill accuracy. The single head corker, configured for straight corks, needs thorough inspection of its compression jaws and cam followers for wear, which directly impacts cork insertion quality. Ask for any spare parts relating to the corker's chuck jaws or springs. On the 2003 MEB ADL 02 I GL Labeller, with its single adhesive station, check the condition of the glue pot and applicator roller for dried adhesive buildup or pitting. Verify the alignment and integrity of the linear transport system, especially the belts or chains that move bottles from left to right. Confirm that 'Safety protections' are physically present and functional on all units; this isn't just a compliance point, but a sign of overall machine care. Test if possible whether the electric carousel height adjustment on the rinser actually operates under power. Assess the overall electrical panels for signs of modifications, loose wiring, or corrosion. For an older line like this, ask about routine maintenance logs and any significant repairs performed on the specific models – SA 9, RT 9-S-BI, and ADL 02 I GL. Any upgrade to electrical controls or sensors would be a value-add, but otherwise, expect original components given the declared ages.

Integrating this Fimer bottling line with a 1200 BPH clockwise direction requires careful upstream and downstream planning for a seamless flow. Given its 1200 BPH capacity, raw glass bottle depalletizers should be rated for at least 1500 BPH to provide a buffer, considering the rinser's 9 clamps. A single file conveyor from depalletizer to rinser will work, but consider a small accumulation table right before the rinser to handle any minor upstream interruptions. For the outlet of the MEB linear labeller, a moderately sized accumulation table (perhaps 2-3 minutes of production) is wise, especially with a single adhesive station. This allows for brief label roll changes or minor adjustments without stopping the entire line. The clockwise flow dictates that conveyors approaching the rinser and leaving the labeller should maintain this orientation for efficient transfer to case packing. For format changeovers, a buyer should immediately inquire about the availability of change parts for the Fimer SA 9 rinser's 9 clamps and the Fimer RT 9-S-BI monoblock's 9 gravity filling valves and single head corker. Specifically, request all format sets for any bottle diameters or heights run previously, along with the relevant stars, guides, and worm screws. For the MEB ADL 02 I GL linear labeller, ask for any specific guides or spacing parts suited for different bottle shapes. Throughput balancing means ensuring the rinser, filler, and labeller can all comfortably maintain 1200 BPH. With the filler being gravity-fed, product consistency is key. Ensure a steady product supply to the filler to avoid bottlenecks. The single head corker and 9-clamp rinser/filler combination suggest that 1200 BPH is a tight but achievable target for this specific configuration.
