Bottle Transport Conveyor for Automated Capping Lines

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Bottle Transport Conveyor

Definition

The Bottle Transport Conveyor is a component of an automated bottle capping machine, designed to move bottles in a controlled, sequential manner from the filling station to the capping station and onward to subsequent packaging or labeling stations. It ensures proper bottle spacing, orientation, and timing synchronization with other machine components. The conveyor typically uses a motor-driven belt or chain mechanism. Bottles are placed on the conveyor surface at the infeed, and the conveyor moves at a controlled speed, transporting bottles through the machine's workflow. Sensors and guides maintain proper bottle alignment and spacing to ensure each bottle is correctly positioned for the capping operation. The conveyor is available in widths from 80 to 200 mm, with speeds adjustable via VFD from 0.5 to 2.0 m/s. Load capacity ranges from 50 to 200 kg/m, and it handles bottle diameters from 50 to 120 mm and heights from 100 to 350 mm with adjustable guide rails. Positioning accuracy is ±0.5 mm. Motor power ranges from 0.75 to 3.0 kW, depending on conveyor length, which can be customized from 3 to 30 m. Supply voltage is 380 V AC ±10% (three-phase, IEC 60038), and operating temperature is 0–40°C. Ingress protection is IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529). The frame is made of stainless steel 304 (ASTM A240), and the belt is food-grade polyurethane (FDA 21 CFR 177.1680). Noise level is ≤75 dB(A) at 1 m (ISO 11201). These values are reference ranges; verify model-specific specifications with the manufacturer or supplier.

Working Principle

The conveyor operates via a motor-driven belt or chain. Bottles are fed onto the conveyor surface at the infeed. The motor, controlled by a variable frequency drive (VFD), adjusts belt speed to match the capping line's rhythm. Sensors detect bottle presence and position, while guide rails and side guides maintain alignment. The conveyor ensures consistent spacing and timing, allowing each bottle to be precisely positioned for capping. After capping, bottles continue to downstream stations. The system is designed for continuous operation, with adjustable speed and guide rails to accommodate different bottle sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical speed range of the Bottle Transport Conveyor?

The conveyor speed is adjustable via a variable frequency drive (VFD) and typically ranges from 0.5 to 2.0 m/s. The exact speed setting depends on the specific capping line requirements and must be confirmed with the manufacturer.

What materials are used in the construction of this conveyor?

The frame is made of stainless steel 304 (ASTM A240), and the belt is food-grade polyurethane (FDA 21 CFR 177.1680). These materials are suitable for food contact and are commonly used in beverage manufacturing.

Can the conveyor handle different bottle sizes?

Yes, the conveyor is designed to handle standard beverage bottles with diameters from 50 to 120 mm and heights from 100 to 350 mm. Adjustable guide rails allow for quick changeovers between different bottle sizes.

What is the positioning accuracy of the conveyor?

The positioning accuracy is ±0.5 mm, ensuring precise bottle placement for capping operations. This accuracy is critical for maintaining synchronization with other machine components.
