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
manufacturerâs manuals for setup, operation, lockout/tagout, and
sanitation protocols, and verify local compliance requirements within
their facilityâs 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.
