A multipurpose filler for bottles, cans and PET

Date: 13.04.2021Source: Krones

For the first time, the Krones Group presents a multipurpose filler that handles glass bottles, PET containers, and cans – the Barifill Canto. The Italian subsidiary Kosme is responsible for its development, construction, and installation. Kosme wanted to be able to offer smaller craft breweries and wineries the greatest possible flexibility in container choice without requiring them to invest in three different filling machines. The Barifill Canto fills beer, CSDs, sparkling water, and sparkling wines in a variety of can types and sizes, and also handles PET containers or glass bottles – the latter in both the classic wine bottle format and the long-neck bottle used for beer and CSDs.

This flexibility is made possible by an innovative filling valve. Kosme has taken the best features of existing Modulfill series filling systems and combined them into a single valve. The valve is equipped with a level probe for filling bottles and a volumetric system with an inductive flow meter for cans. In order to reduce the required space as much as possible, the necessary container sealers are also integrated into the filler: a Krones Modulseam for cans and a Kosme crowner for glass bottles. As an option, plastic screw caps for PET and roll-on aluminium caps or corks can be handled as well. In the filler as well as in the sealers, all parts that come into contact with the product are made of stainless steel, enabling reliable cleaning and ensuring their longevity.
