Isobaric Filling Block Framax Modulblock RFCI for Glass Bottles
The Framax Isobaric Modulblock RFCI 16/16/1 DPS/C Filler Block is
suitable for bottling a wide range of carbonated products, including
beer, kombucha, carbonated water, soft drinks, other sparkling
beverages and still drinks. This filler block has been filling beer in
300ml and 500ml glass bottles with crown cap. Filling capacity is 2000
– 3000 depending on product, operation parameters are easily set up
from HMI touch screen and controlled with Siemens PLC. Machine has
been maintained regularly according to manufacture’s instructions
and is in vey good condition.
The bottling machine consists of:
• A 16 clamp rotating rinser, featuring a single hot water
sanitation cycle,
• A 16 valve isobaric counterpressure filler with double air
pre-evacuation using CO₂,
• A single head crowner (crowning unit).
The filling valves are advanced electropneumatic DPS valves. All valve
functions are fully programmable and managed via the operator panel,
providing high operational flexibility and precise control—key
factors in achieving premium filling quality and minimizing the risk
of contamination.
With DPS-type operation, the product flows gently along the internal
sides of the bottle using a rubber gasket mounted on the leveling
system. Once the liquid reaches the leveling hole, the filling nozzle
is mechanically closed by a control cam, triggered by the operator
control system. The filler is also equipped with a fobber foaming
unit, which helps limit oxygen absorption during filling by generating
controlled foam, ensuring product quality and reducing oxygen
pickup.
