5 KRONES fillers for wine and sparkling wine 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. Noncarbonated beverages can be removed from the filling valve right after filling is completed. Functions 1. Gas needle 2. Snifting 3. Vacuum CIP 4. Product stem 5.

8 KRONES fillers for wine and sparkling wine 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 preevacuated 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. 1. Product open/closed 2. Vacuum and CIP return valve 3.
