Modulfill HRS short-tube filler with correction functions

Functional principle of the valve The lift cylinder presses the bottle on to the filling valve where it is pre-evacuated several times. With non-carbonated beverages, the filling valve opens due to a movement of the control cylinder. With carbonated beverages, the bottle is pressurised and the valve opens as soon as the bottle and the ring bowl have the same pressure. At both of the filling processes, the liquid runs through a spreader along the bottle wall. The valve closes as soon as the bottle is entirely filled. The correction channel opens and the excessive fill quantity is displaced from the bottle to the end of the vent tube. With carbonated beverages, a snifting phase is performed in order to reduce the pressure in the bottle head space. Non-carbonated beverages can be removed from the filling valve right after filling is completed.

Short-tube filler with correction functions and automatic filling tube adjustment − Reliable fill level determination via the vent tube − Low-oxygen filling through several pre-evacuation steps with

intermediary CO2 flushing − Electropneumatically controlled filling valve − Fill level correction via separate correction channel − One filling speed − Automatic swinging-in of the CIP cups

Applications Suitable for still wine and sparkling wine Output Up to 60,000 containers per hour HRS = Height filling system, Return gas tube, Short tube


Modulfill HRS short-tube filler with correction function and automatic filling tube adjustment

Functional principle of the valve First the glass bottle is pressed on and then it is pre-evacuated several times. The filling valve opens after pressurisation and the filling process begins: The product runs into the bottle via a swirl insert. Once the bottle is filled up to the brim, the valve closes electropneumatically. The correction channel opens and the excessive fill quantity is displaced from the bottle up to the end of the vent tube. Afterwards, the bottle is snifted via a channel. The special feature of this version: Both, the vent tube adjustment and the swinging-in of the CIP cups are performed fully automatically.

Modulfill HES probe filler

Probe filler with electronical level filling system − Electronical determination of the fill level via probe − End of filling after probe signal − Low-oxygen filling through several pre-evacuation steps with

intermediary CO2 flushing − Electropneumatic filling valve − Infinitely variable filling speed with the KRONES Proportional

Flow Regulator (PFR)

Applications Suitable for wine and sparkling wine Output Up to 60,000 containers per hour HES = Height filling system, Electronic fill height measuring, Short tube


Modulfill HES probe filler

Functional principle of the valve The lift cylinder presses the bottle on to the filling valve where it is pre-evacuated several times. With sparkling wines, the bottle is pressurised additionally. Afterwards, the valve opens and the product flows into the bottle via a swirl insert. The integrated PFR valve controls the filling speed infinitely adjustable enabling foamless filling. Once the bottle is completely filled, the filling valve closes via a probe signal. With sparkling wine, the container is additionally snifted via a separate channel.
