PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The TPGB 400 rotary monoblock is able to carry out capping with cork or plastic caps, both flush with the bottle neck and mushroom-shaped, in addition to the distribution and closing of the cages.

 

Machine structure

The machine is mounted on a sturdy carbon steel frame whose upper part is covered in stainless steel. It consists of:

 

• Stainless steel support uprights.
• Removable lower casings in stainless steel.
• Large plexiglass doors equipped with safety switches to block the machine when opening.
• Adjustable feet.
• Chain conveyor belt for automatic bottle handling. Towing excluded.
• Width-adjustable conveyor belt guides.
• Optional: possible towing table and accumulation of full bottles.

 

Rotary capping machine

The TPGB monoblocks include a capping station that can apply cork or plastic caps flush with the bottle neck, or mushroom caps. The main features are:

 

• Bottle feeding by star.
• Torque limiting clutch to release rotation in the event of blockage.
• Rotation speed regulation via inverter.
• Capping head with stainless steel dowels.
• Cap dimensions with max 31,5 mm. diameter and height up to 50 mm.
• Pneumatic cap feeding system with cap reserve alarm.

 

Distribution and closing station for cages

This station provides for the distribution and closing of the cages and includes:

 

• Adjustable cage storage.
• Adjustable pneumatic distribution fork.
• Cap presence sensor for distribution activation.
• Magnetic star for cage alignment.
• Cap presence sensor for cage closing activation.
• Pneumatically operated closing station.

 

Electrical panel

The electrical panel, made to CE standards, is placed inside the machine and interfaces with the operator via a front panel obtained directly in the machine structure. It includes:

 

• Siemens PLC with LOGO TDE control keyboard.
• Simple and intuitive user interface that guides the operator through the various adjustment phases.
• Power socket for connecting the wine supply pump.
