Ave Industry bottling line for olive oil

Used Ave BOTTLING LINE Bottling Lines of 2001, specifically an Ave Industry olive oil bottling line, designed for glass bottles with a speed of 2500 bph. This monoblock unit, known as the Oceanic – V 12/12/1 model, operates with a clockwise rotation. The rinser features 12 fixed nozzle clamps and provides one treatment with water. The filler is equipped with 12 mechanical valves, utilizing a vacuum filling system with Venturi technology. Following the filling station, a single-head capper handles aluminum screw caps, accommodating cap sizes from 31.5 mm to 35 mm. The capper employs a pick on-the-fly distribution system, supported by a caps elevator, model ELEVATORE, specifically designed for aluminum screw caps and using mechanical elevation. The line also includes a single-head capsuling machine for PVC. Further down the line, a labeller, model ETI 4T SA 2, also operates with clockwise rotation. It features 6 mechanical cam plates and two adhesive stations, capable of applying both front and back labels. The entire Ave bottling line includes safety protection for operational security. This equipment, suitable for those searching for used Ave bottling lines or second-hand bottling lines for sale, offers a steady 2500 BPH and is located in Europe, available in an 'As Is' condition.

When inspecting this 2001 Ave monoblock, Oceanic – V 12/12/1, your focus should be on wear points typical for two decades of operation. On the 12 fixed nozzle clamps rinser, meticulously examine the nozzles for calcification or damage, especially concerning the 'one treatment with water' system, as inadequate rinsing impacts product quality. For the 12 mechanical valve filler with its Venturi vacuum system, test each valve for consistent fill levels; uneven filling suggests valve wear or vacuum issues that require attention. Verify the condition of the vacuum pump itself, as it's critical to the filler's operation. On the single-head capper for 31.5 mm – 35 mm aluminum screw caps, check the chuck and cap application rollers for wear or scoring, which can lead to damaged caps or inconsistent torque. Examine the 'pick on-the-fly' mechanism for smooth, precise operation, as timing issues here can cause significant downtime. The ELEVATORE caps elevator should be observed for smooth cap feeding, checking belt or chain condition for signs of stretching or wear. The single-head PVC capsuling machine needs a check for consistent heat application or sealing force. For the ETI 4T SA 2 labeller, inspect the 6 mechanical cam plates for wear, pitting, or flat spots, which affect label application precision. The two adhesive stations require careful examination of glue pumps, rollers, and applicators for dried glue residues or excessive wear. For a 2001 vintage, assess the condition of all electrical cabinetry and wiring – look for signs of overheating, corrosion, or modifications. While 'safety protection' is listed, verify its completeness and functionality; older installations might have outdated or bypassed guards. Request a full list of existing spare parts from the seller, especially for the filler valves, capper chucks, and labeller adhesive components, as these are high-wear items.

Integrating this Ave Oceanic – V 12/12/1 bottling line, rated at 2500 bph, requires thoughtful upstream and downstream equipment placement. Given its clockwise rotation, initial bottle feeding from a depalletizer or unscrambler would typically present bottles to the rinser's right-hand side. For a consistent supply of glass bottles to the 12 fixed nozzle clamps rinser, a rotary bottle unscrambler or an air rinser positioned prior to the monoblock is crucial to minimize idle time. Buffering before the rinser with an accumulation table, sized for at least 3-5 minutes of production (around 125-200 bottles), helps smooth flow variations. Downstream from the single-head capper and PVC capsuling machine, a linear or rotary accumulation table is essential to handle any temporary backups from the labeller or downstream packaging, allowing the monoblock to maintain its 2500 bph pace. For the ETI 4T SA 2 labeller, ensure the conveyed bottles align correctly for its two adhesive stations applying front and back labels. For format changeovers, a buyer should immediately request any existing spare parts for the 31.5 mm and 35 mm screw caps, along with change parts for different bottle diameters if future product variations are anticipated. The 12 mechanical valve filler and its Venturi system are robust, but extra valve seals and diaphragms would be prudent to procure. Throughput balancing considerations include ensuring adequate cap supply via the ELEVATORE caps elevator, as any interruption here directly impacts packaging speed.
