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:

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. The downstream COMTEC heating
tunnel integrates smoothly via standard inline conveyor setups,
aligning its 750 mm working plane height with the main bottling line
transport systems.Machine Condition & Maintenance HistoryThe ALTEC
monoblock 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. The accompanying COMTEC heating tunnel is
in excellent working order, complete with its original 2017 user and
maintenance manuals.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. Combined with the COMTEC
thermal tunnel, the setup prevents downstream thermal shocks on glass
containers or vacuum-induced deformations in PET bottles.Installation
Requirements & Site PreparationThe compact footprint facilitates
installation in constrained production spaces. Utilities include an
electrical connection consistent with 3 kW total installed power for
the filler/capper unit and a compressed air supply at 6 bar for
pneumatic functions. The standalone balance tank on its dedicated
stand streamlines product feeding a
