Technical Specifications & Performance Data The KHS Innofill-ER VF
143/20 is a high-speed used isobaric filling monoblock designed for
premium glass bottle applications in beverage production. Engineered
for reliability in industrial packaging environments, it offers
consistent performance for soft drinks, sparkling water, and still
water on a used bottling line. Manufacturer: KHS Model: Innofill-ER VF
143/20 Category: Filling Monoblock (Isobaric) Year of manufacture:
1994 Rated speed: up to 45,000 bottles per hour (format- and
product-dependent) Filler configuration: 143 isobaric filling valves
(rotary) Capper: 20-head Alcoa ROPP, 20 mm (rotary) Container types:
Glass bottles Bottle formats: 0.70 L, 0.75 L Product types: Soft
drinks, water (sparkling), water (still) Electrical: 50 Hz Condition:
In storage Documentation & safety: Manuals available; safety features
included Advanced Automation & Control Systems This Innofill-ER VF
platform employs counter-pressure (isobaric) technology for accurate
fill control and carbonation retention. The machine features
centralized operator controls for speed regulation, valve actuation,
bottle presence detection, and cap application monitoring. Integrated
safety interlocks and emergency stops enhance safe operation, while
recipe-based change parameters support repeatable performance across
formats. The 50 Hz electrical configuration facilitates integration
with standard European automation architectures and line control
systems. Manuals are available to support setup, programming, and
maintenance. Production Line Integration Capabilities Built to serve
as the core of a high-output used bottling line, this monoblock
integrates seamlessly with upstream and downstream equipment for
complete industrial packaging solutions: Upstream compatibility with
bottle handling systems such as depalletizers, washers or rinsers, and
air or table-top conveyors for glass. Downstream compatibility with
labelers (cold glue, pressure-sensitive, or roll-fed for glass),
inspection/reject systems, pasteurizers, packers, and palletizers.
Quick-change starwheels and guides for 0.70 L and 0.75 L formats
support efficient changeovers. CO2 supply connections for
counter-pressure filling; integration-ready for plant CIP skids and
product tanks. While this unit is configured for glass bottles, many
facilities operate parallel lines for PET or aluminum packaging; the
machineâs controls and interfaces allow coordinated production
scheduling within multi-format beverage production plants. Machine
Condition & Maintenance History The unit is currently in storage as a
second hand asset. It is supplied with safety features and available
manuals, facilitating recommissioning, maintenance planning, and
operator training. KHS machine families benefit from robust global
parts and service support, aiding long-term reliability and uptime
when reintegrated into production. Operational Performance &
Versatility The rotary, isobaric filler with 143 valves ensures
high-speed throughput with low oxygen pick-up and excellent CO2
retentionâkey for soft drinks and sparkling water. The 20-head
Alcoa 20 mm ROPP capper delivers precise, consistent sealing quality
for premium glass presentations. Change parts for 0.70 L and 0.75 L
provide format flexibility within the glass segment. Although set up
for water and soft drinks, isobaric U6354234 technology is widely
used in beverage production and is common across applications such as
beer or wine in similar configurations. This makes the machine a
strong fit for a performance-driven used bottling line seeking
efficiency, hygiene, and repeatable filling and capping results.
Installation Requirements & Site Preparation For a successful
installation, prepare a level industrial floor capable of supporting
rotary machinery and dynamic loads. Provide appropriate infeed/outfeed
conveyor interfaces for glass bottle handling, a compliant 50 Hz
electrical supply, and utilities typical of isobaric filling:
compressed air, CO2 for pressurization, product feed with stable
conditioning, and CIP connections if integrated into a plant-wide
cleaning system. Ensure adequate access for maintenance, guarding
clearances, and operator circulation, as well as cap supply (cap
feeder/sorter and chute) for 20 mm ROPP closures. Safety Standards &
Compliance Certification Safety features include interlocked guards,
emergency stop circuits, and bottle/cap detection to mitigate misfeeds
and spillage. Hygienic design principlesâstainless steel
product-contact surfaces and sanitary pipingâsupport quality
control for water and soft drink applications. As with all second hand
equipment, onsite verification of compliance with current machinery
directives, electrical standards, and plant-specific HSE requirements
is recommended prior to commissioning.
