Used ALTEC Monoblock for filling and closing bottles 3000 BPHTechnical
Specifications & Performance DataThis Filling and Capping Monoblock is
engineered for efficient beverage production and industrial packaging.
Manufactured by ALTEC, model PO 12/1, it combines a 12-valve filler
with a 1-head capper to deliver reliable performance on a wide range
of bottle sizes and products. As a versatile asset for a used bottling
line or second hand bottling equipment upgrade, it supports both
hot-fill and cold-fill applications in PET and glass
containers.Manufacturer: ALTECModel: PO 12/1Year: 2004Filling valves:

handlingInstalled power: 3 kWOperating pressure: 6 barDimensions (main
unit): 2300 x 1500 x 2300 mm (L x W x H)Auxiliary stand with balance
tank: 1050 x 600 x 1000 mm (L x W x H)Changeover: Speed adjustable via
frequency inverterAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThe monoblock
integrates an industrial control platform with cabinet-mounted HMI for
parameter management, diagnostics, and speed regulation. Frequency
inverter control allows fine-tuning of filling speed to match
upstream/downstream bottling equipment, improving line balance and
minimizing product losses during changeovers. Operator protections and
interlocks support safe operation throughout routine
production.Production Line Integration CapabilitiesDesigned for
seamless integration within a complete used bottling line, this
monoblock can operate inline with rinsers, conveyors, labelers, and
downstream packaging machinery. It handles multiple bottle sizes and
container materials, supporting beverage production changeovers
between standard PET and glass formats. Its flexible cap handling
accepts 28 mm plastic screw caps and provisions for 38 mm sport caps,
enhancing multi-product capabilities.Machine Condition & Maintenance
HistoryThe machine was last used in 2020 and was regularly serviced up
to that date. It has been dismantled and stored; a dry test can be
performed. Technical documentation is available. Overall condition is
described as solid, making it suitable for recommissioning into a
second hand industrial packaging line.Operational Performance &
VersatilityThis monoblock is suitable for 100% fruit juices,
non-carbonated soft drinks, and other low-viscosity liquids such as
water and vinegar. Both hot-fill and cold-fill operations are
supported, with the equipment supplied originally for hot-fill juice
applications. With 12 filling valves and precise cap orientation for
28 mm (PCO-1881) and optional 38 mm sport caps, it ensures consistent
fill accuracy and secure closure across diverse formats.Installation
Requirements & Site PreparationThe compact footprint facilitates
installation in constrained production spaces. Utilities include an
electrical connection consistent with 3 kW total installed power and a
compressed air supply at 6 bar for pneumatic functions. The standalone
balance tank on its dedicated stand streamlines product feeding and
level control.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationThe machine
includes standard operator guards and interlocks consistent with
beverage industry practices for hygienic operation on PET and glass
bottles. Food-grade construction of product-contact components
supports beverage production quality. Emergency stop functions and
safeguarded access points contribute to safe day-to-day operation.
