Technical Specifications & Performance DataThis bottling conveyor,
manufactured by Mesal engineering, is designed for continuous-duty
handling of bottles in beverage production and industrial packaging
environments. The EVF model, produced in 2011, provides smooth product
transfer, accumulation, and spacing between upstream and downstream
machines. Its robust construction supports reliable operation in
second hand and used bottling line integrations, optimizing flow and
minimizing downtime across the production line.Manufacturer:

Automation & Control SystemsThe conveyor supports modern automation
practices to ensure stable product flow. Speed regulation is managed
via inverter-driven motors for smooth ramp-up and ramp-down, reducing
product tipping and improving synchronization with fillers, cappers,
and labelers. Provision for sensors and photocells enables automatic
accumulation control, starve/block prevention, and start/stop logic
when integrated with a line PLC/HMI. Safety interlocks and E-stop
circuit compatibility align with standard bottling equipment safety
protocols.Variable frequency drive for precise speed

integrationProduction Line Integration CapabilitiesEngineered for
seamless integration, this conveyor operates as a standalone module or
as part of a complete used bottling line. Adjustable guides
accommodate a range of bottle diameters and heights, supporting quick
changeovers for various sizes such as the 240 ml format. It pairs
effectively with filling, capping, labeling, and packing stations,
maintaining consistent spacing and throughput. Suitable for beverage
production, including water, juice, beer, and wine applications, as
well as broader industrial packaging tasks.Inline or standalone

HistoryWith a 2011 manufacturing date, the design emphasizes
reliability and serviceability. Conveying modules feature accessible
wear components for rapid replacement, while standard drive elements
simplify preventive maintenance. The construction supports stable
operation in continuous shifts typical of beverage production
environments.Maintenance-friendly conveyor designDurable industrial
components for long service lifeAccessible wear parts to reduce
downtimeOperational Performance & VersatilityThe conveyor delivers
consistent product handling with reduced friction and controlled
acceleration, limiting scuffing and bottle instability. It is suitable
for both lightweight PET and heavier Glass bottles, ensuring steady
transport of 240 ml containers through accumulation, transfer, and
merge points. Its modular architecture allows extensions, curves, and
layout modifications to match evolving production needs.Stable product

Requirements & Site PreparationInstallation is straightforward on a
level industrial floor with standard anchoring. Electrical power is
required for the drive system, and optional pneumatic connections may
be used for accessories such as diverters or stoppers. The conveyor
can be integrated into existing control architectures using standard
I/O for sensors and interlocks.Level floor and standard anchoring

Standards & Compliance CertificationThe equipment is designed to work
within typical bottling line safety frameworks. Guarding and covers
can be implemented according to plant standards, and the system
supports emergency stop circuitry and lockout/tagout procedures.
