Complete Bottling Line

Used bottling line Cortellazzi for CSD in PET bottles – 8000 bph


General overview of the line


The used Cortellazzi bottling line for carbonated soft drinks in PET bottles 8000 bph delivers an integrated solution for producing soft drinks and sparkling water in 0.50 L and 1.5 L containers. Specifically designed for industrial environments, the system provides a complete technical configuration. It maximizes production efficiency and ensures operational safety by including protection devices and quality control systems at every stage. Moreover, the layout supports continuous operation with minimal downtime.


Filling unit and blow molders


The Cortellazzi Fintec VEGA 40.70.10 isobaric filling monoblock 1998 handles carbonated products while maintaining constant pressure during the filling process. As a result, the system preserves CO2 content and prevents product loss. Two separate blow molding machines feed the containers. A Sidel SBO8 from 1999 ensures continuous high efficiency production, while a Kosme KSB-4000 from 1998 serves as a backup or support unit. In addition, both machines allow quick format changes and stable operation under load.


Carbonator and CO2 management


The Cortellazzi Kristal Mix 1998 controls carbonation and saturates the product with CO2. Consequently, the unit ensures consistency and stability throughout the filling phase. Notably, it also supports fine tuning of pressure and temperature parameters.


Labeling and customization


Three labeling systems carry out specific functions. The Kosme Ekstrahotmelt 12TS1E1 1998 applies labels using hot melt glue. Meanwhile, the KHS Carmichael 1995 handles traditional label application. Furthermore, the Esleeve ESM 3200M 2004 applies shrink sleeves to PET containers in various formats. Together, these machines offer flexible labeling solutions for different product lines.


Quality control and heat tunnel


The Krones Miho module 2008 inspects containers and labels, detecting any defects or irregularities. If necessary, the system can reject non compliant items without interrupting the production flow. Then, the Krones Shrinkmatt 3000 tunnel 2008 uses steam to shrink the sleeves uniformly onto the containers. In particular, this tunnel guarantees even heat distribution, preventing sleeve distortion.


Secondary packaging


The Dimac Bluestar F30 2007 wraps products into shrink film with speed and precision. As such, this unit optimizes grouping and prepares the packs for palletizing. Additionally, it minimizes material waste and ensures a clean wrap.


Handle and cap application


The Twin Pack MGE 1997 applies handles to the grouped bottles. Simultaneously, the Bortolin Kemo 1997 feeds caps consistently and ensures uninterrupted sealing of containers. This way, the two systems maintain rhythm and alignment on the line.
