ALTEC PO 12/1 Filling and Capping Monoblock – Overview This used
ALTEC PO 12/1 filling and capping monoblock is engineered for
efficient bottling operations within beverage production and
industrial packaging environments. Designed to handle both PET and
glass bottles, it is suitable for water and 100% fruit juices, as well
as other low-viscosity still liquids. With 12 filling valves and 1
capping head, the machine offers compact, integrated performance for
second hand and used bottling line applications. Manufactured by
ALTEC, the monoblock supports hot or cold filling modes for still
products, making it a versatile choice for small to medium production
runs. Variable speed control via a frequency regulator allows
operators to adapt throughput to different container sizes and product
requirements. Technical Specifications & Performance Data Model: PO

12/1 integrates a Siemens control platform providing reliable
automation and straightforward operation. A frequency regulator (VFD)
manages the charging speed, enabling quick adaptation to production
demands and bottle formats. The compact HMI located in the control
cabinet gives operators access to essential machine parameters.

variable speed for flexible throughput Operator access via small
integrated display Production Line Integration Capabilities This
monoblock fits seamlessly into a used bottling line or standalone
station within beverage production. It is designed for PET and glass
containers and can interface upstream with a rinsing machine and
downstream with labeling, inspection, and packaging equipment. Format
changes are supported across multiple bottle sizes from 0.5L to 2.0L,
and several format parts are included. Inline or standalone operation
in industrial packaging lines Compatible with upstream rinsers and
downstream labelers, inspectors, and packers Multi-format flexibility:
0.5L, 0.85L, 1.0L, 1.5L, 2.0L Machine Condition & Maintenance History
The monoblock was last used in 2020 and was regularly serviced until
then. It is currently dismantled and cannot be wet-tested in its
current state; however, a dry run can be attempted. Technical
documentation is available. The overall condition is described as
solid for a second hand unit. Operational Performance & Versatility
Optimized for still beverages, the unit handles hot-fill and cold-fill
U6354234 applications for 100% fruit juices and water, along with
other low-viscosity, non-carbonated liquids. A 28 mm plastic screw cap
setup (PCO 1881 short neck) is installed, and provisions for 38 mm
sport caps are referenced, subject to availability of specific
adapters and tooling. Ideal for Water and Juices Hot-fill capability
for juices and heat-stable products Supports PET and Glass packaging
Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Ensure adequate floor
space for the monoblock and its balance-tank stand. Provide electrical
power capacity consistent with a 3 kW machine and a stable compressed
air supply at 6 bar. Allow clearances for changeover and maintenance
access, and plan utilities routing for integration into the existing
production line. Space envelope: approx. 2300 x 1500 x 2300 mm plus
auxiliary stand Utilities: 3 kW electrical, compressed air at 6 bar
Environmental: standard bottling hall conditions Safety Standards &
Compliance Certification The monoblock is designed for operation with
standard safety practices typical of bottling equipment, including
guarded enclosures and emergency stop functions as configured by the
OEM and integrator. Buyers should verify current regulatory compliance
and safeguarding during installation and commissioning, especially
when integrating with other bottling equipment within a used
production line.
