Description

We are a small, well established brewery, and have been brewing for 12 years and bottling for 5 years. We are switching from bottles to cans and selling our trusty bottling machine, conveyor line, bottle dryer and accumulation table.
The bottling machine is a 2012 Chinese made 24 head rotary rinser, 24 head rotary filler, 8 head rotary crowner, set up as a 24-24-8 monobloc, and had only bottled about 1000 bbls when we got it. We spent over a year rebuilding and improving it, we re-engineered some of the stainless parts, replaced all springs, seals, valves, guages and o rings, re-programmed it and made it fully operational, and better than new!
We are using it currently, bottling around twice a week, and expect to be using it until mid April 2021 when we take delivery of our new canning line.
Filler has single pre-evacuation filling heads.
Machine is rated up to 67 bpm (we run at 45 bpm due to manual in-feed and pack-off- thats about as fast as we can go!).
Currently set up for 12 oz longnecks, but includes complete set of change-over parts for 22 oz bombers (star wheels, guide plates, etc.).
Was overhauled/rebuilt in 2015-16 under the direction of consultant Les Garrell, who spent 2 weeks with us.
Machine requires 3-phase 208V AC power (~40 A) , plus CO2, compressed air, and H2O.
Monobloc dimensions are 9’6” long (direction of bottle travel) by 7’0” wide by 8’8” tall. Weighs around 11,000 lbs.
Full conveyor length is 36’9” (this does not include any allowance for an accumulation table)
Includes Allen-Bradley PLC control system with touch screen controls
Blow drying cabinet includes 10 fully adjustable knife-blade nozzles and Siemens controls
Vacuum pump is Dekker Duravane
Buyer is responsible for shipping, although we can help arrange local loading and rigging.
