Alfatek MBC 9-1 BLP Used Filling Monoblock

Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Alfatek MBC 9-1 BLP is a second hand, 2005 isobaric filling monoblock engineered for beer in glass bottles. Well suited to beverage production environments seeking a compact, reliable used bottling line component, it combines precision filling and crown capping in one frame for efficient industrial packaging. Manufacturer / Model: Alfatek MBC 9-1 BLP Year: 2005 Configuration: 9-valve isobaric filler + 1-head capper Nominal speed: up to 1,800 bottles/hour (format and product dependent) Bottle formats: 0.33 L and 0.75 L Container type: Glass Product types: Beer (including refermented/carbonated beer) Closure system: Crown caps, 26 mm; 1 capping head Filler: 9 valves, isobaric operation for carbonation retention Condition: In storage Included: Safety features, manuals available Advanced Automation & Control Systems Designed for dependable operation in brewery bottling, this monoblock features a centralized operator panel for machine start/stop, speed adjustment, and cycle management. Guarded access points are interlocked to stop motion when opened, supporting safe operation during changeover and cleaning. Emergency stop circuitry provides rapid shutdown across key functional groups (filling and capping). Controls and wiring are typical of early-2000s Alfatek systems, offering straightforward operation and maintenance. Electrical specifications and I/O details are provided in the included manuals. The isobaric filling bowl supports CO2 pressurization to help preserve dissolved CO2 in beer during filling. Production Line Integration Capabilities This monoblock integrates easily into a complete used bottling line, upstream from rinsers and downstream to labeling, inspection, and packing equipment. It accepts standard glass bottle infeed via conveyor and discharges to downstream labeling and packaging stations. Changeover between 0.33 L and 0.75 L formats is supported with the appropriate change parts and bottle handling components. For multi-equipment beverage production setups, the unit can be combined with depalletizers, rinsers, pasteurizers, labelers, carton packers, and palletizers to form a cohesive industrial packaging solution. While this machine is dedicated to glass, facilities running PET or aluminum can lines can operate it in parallel within a mixed-container plant layout. Machine Condition & Maintenance History The Alfatek MBC 9-1 BLP is currently in storage as a second hand asset. Safety guards are present and manuals are available to facilitate recommissioning. Prior application is beer, aligning with its isobaric filling configuration. As with any stored equipment, a full pre-start service is recommended, including inspection of seals, hoses, lubrication points, and verification of sensors, interlocks, and capping torque consistency. Operational Performance & Versatility With nine isobaric filling valves, the machine is optimized for carbonated beer, helping to maintain product integrity and foam control. The single-head 26 mm crown capper ensures secure closure suitable for both 0.33 L and 0.75 L glass bottles. Its compact footprint and combined filling and capping reduce transfers and handling, improving uptime and consistency in beverage production. The system is dedicated to glass containers. It is not intended for PET or aluminum cans without substantial reconfiguration; however, it can be integrated alongside PET or canning lines as part of a broader industrial packaging platform. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Install on a level, cleanable floor with adequate access for operation, changeovers, and maintenance. Provide appropriate conveyor connections to upstream bottle handling and downstream labeling/packing equipment. The following utilities are typically required: Electrical power: Industrial three-phase supply (consult manual for exact ratings) Compressed air: For actuators and capping systems where applicable CO2 supply: For isobaric bowl pressurization and product protection Product feed: From a stable beer source with suitable temperature and filtration Drainage and cleaning water: For sanitation and routine wash-down procedures Safety Standards & Compliance Certification Supplied with safety features including interlocked guards and emergency stops to support safe operation. The hygienic design is suitable for beer bottling, with cleanability consistent with industry practices for isobaric fillers. Operators should follow the manufacturer’s manuals for setup, operation, lockout/tagout, and sanitation protocols, and verify local compliance requirements within their facility’s safety management system. This Alfatek MBC 9-1 BLP offers a robust, practical choice for breweries and beverage producers seeking a reliable filling monoblock within a used bottling line, combining precise isobaric filling with crown capping for consistent, high-quality results in glass beer packaging.
