The BFMP-400 Set for manual filling beverages into bottles includes two devices necessary to the manual isobaric filling beverages into bottles and the capping of the bottles. Operation capacity is from 200 pcs up to 400 pcs bottles per hour according to type of beverage, temperature, type of bottles and coordination of human work.
The pack consists of :
- BFM4-500S FourMan for the manual filling bottles – four positions to filling bottles
- CRW-M1 Manual pneumatic capping machine for the closing of bottles by crown caps
The pack does not include :
- Plastic hoses and hose connectors – We recommend use the food-friendly plastic hoses with outer diameter 3/8″ (0.250″ x 0.375″ = 6.7mm x 9.5mm) that are compatible with the John Guest system.
- Air compressor – A source of the pressure air needed for operation with the bottle capping machine – it is possible to use any air compressor.
- Reducing valve for connection between the pressure bottle with carbodioxide and the bottle filling machine.
I. BFM4-500S FourMan for the manual filling 300-500 pcs bottles per hour
A simple manual isobaric filling mechanism for easy filling of bottles: The FourMan contains of four filling valves and has a simple design. It is suitable for filling sparkling wines, soft drinks, beer, etc., (any kind of bottle such as glass or PET). It is made from stainless steel AISI 304 and an acetal food grade plastic.
Filling capacity (maximum) :
- up to 300 pcs of bottles per hour (for bottles with volume 0.65 liters)
- up to 400 pcs of bottles per hour (for bottles with volume 0.50 liters)
- up to 500 pcs of bottles per hour (for bottles with volume 0.35 liters)
The bottles filling capacity depends on: the quality and pressure of beverage, size of bottles, the ambient temperature, the beverage temperature, the pressure of carbon dioxide, and on user’s experiences.
CHARACTERISTICS:
- Manual isobaric system for the filling of bottles with four universal stainless steel filling heads.
- Stainless steel valves (with three possible positions) to filling bottles with carbon dioxide, to filling bottles with a beverage and the close.
- Stainless steel adjustable pressure valves for fine-tuning fill speeds.
- Easily removable drip tray made of stainless steel with drain pipe for pipe fastening
- Fixing points that allow the unit to be clamped or bolted to the desired surface.
- Beverage and carbon dioxide gas piping with resistant stainless steel forging.
- Attachable to any source of carbonated liquid, gas and cleaning solution that uses many standard fittings.
- Fully adjustable height control to accommodate many different bottle sizes.
- All parts of the unit can be easily disassembled for maintenance work or cleaning.
The machine has four piped ends with a diameter of 3/8 inch for the feed line. One for gas and one for liquid. A user has to connect the piping, clamps and fittings with the output from a pressure tank with a beverage and also with the carbon dioxide bottles.
Recommended dimensions of bottles :
The system can easily handle bottles of 230 mm high and more. Filling of very large bottles, where the needle does not reach the bottom, will require adding a short plastic hose to the end of the needle to get to the bottom of the bottle. This reduces the turbidity during filling and the foaming of the beverage. Filling of bottles smaller than 200 mm height requires the shortening the end of the filling needle.
Dimensions of the filling equipment :
- Width : 720 mm
- Depth : 230 mm
- Height : 670 mm
- Weight : 12 kg
How the filling equipment works :
II. CRW-M1 Manual capping machine for bottles
A pneumatic capping machine (manual, with a single head) for crown caps: Standard type Model CRW-M1

– Changeable head – different types of caps (diam. 26 and 29)
– One spare capping head supplied according to your choice
– Manual positioning of lids and bottles
– Start button
– Device for bottles centring
Production : 300/400 bph (depending on operator ability).
CHARACTERISTICS:
Magnet located in the centre of a capping head -the bottle is placed under the head and centralized using a V-shaped mechanical holder.
Pressing two start buttons to activate the capping operation. When this part is completed, the capping operation starts – right after an operator has removed his fingers from one of the buttons.
– Dimensions : cm. 30x20x72h
– Weight : 14 kg
– Bottle height : Minimum 200mm up to a Maximum of 420mm (Extension or Reduction on Request)
– Built according to CE regulations.
– Air pressure – from 4bar to 6bar (an external air compressor is not part of this machine)
– Air consumption : variable, Diameter: 110 x 120 strokes (variable according to the bottle height)
– Air usage to the end of a stroke = 1,5 litre per bottle
– Connection: Quick fitt for 8mm plastic pipe
(According to the European safety directive: the operator must keep pressing two buttons at least until the process has been completed. If you release one of the buttons, the piston returns into the safety upper position).
