DAR 12 : Automatic rotating dosing machine (12 positions)

Machine equipped for the processing of 75 centilitre bottles (with classic NFII 35-033 ring), bidules and crown-caps in compliance with INF recommendations.This machine can process all sizes of bottles between half bottle and magnum, as well as personalised bottles, with optional equipment.

Mecanical characteristics :
The machine is built on a stainless steel chassis fitted with 4 adjustable jacks to ensure a level position;
Extreme care has been taken in the choice of materials.
Stainless steels 304 and 316L are the main elements.
It is associated with self-lubricating materials to ease cleaning, sterilisation and maintenance, which gives the machine a longer life expectancy.
It is designed to be connected to a standard production line, in the left to tight direction (the opposite is impossible).
Manual height adjustment of the machine, with standard settings from half bottle to magnum.
The lower part is made of stainless steel, with transparent opening panels for the upper part, according to official regulations and CRAM recommendations.

Description of operations:
The machine includes three successive roundabouts. The first one has 12 extraction stations, the second 12 dosing stations and the third 12 topping-up stations.
The bottles, brought in by a feeding screw, are introduced onto the first extraction roundabout and then taken to the next carrousels, for the following operations:

Extraction
By pressurised carbon dioxide or air, wine is extracted to make space for the dosing liquor.
The bottles are held by the neck and the wine is extracted, while the bottle is sealed.
The extracted volume is adjustable, from 0 to 10 centilitres, through a mechanism located in the centre of the extraction tower which regulates all 12 extracting stations simultaneously.
The extracted wine is transferred to a glass container which automatically feeds the topping-up station.

Dosage
The dosage is performed with bottles tilted at 60°, the ideal position so as not to disturb the wine.
Each dosing nozzle is fitted with a liquor brake to adjust the best speed of the liquor into the wine.
Standard dose, from 0 to 6 centilitres.
Please specify for higher dosages.
A unique central wheel allows the simultaneous adjustment of the 12 dosing stations.
The dosing control ensures the correct filling of the dosing container and the proper transfer into the bottle.

Topping-up
The bottles are held by the collar,  vertical and sealed.
The topping-up height is adjustable mm by mm, from 60 to 120 mm from the top of the ring.
A special system enables to bring in extra wine when the wine gathered from the extracting roundabout is not sufficient.

Electrical characteristics
This machine is manufactured according to the current norms, IP 44 protection for motor and electrical cabinet (on special estimate, IP 55 protection or special protection for damp conditions)
Waterproof electrical cabinet
Control circuits are fed with 24 volts

The control panel is fitted with an emergency red button stop, control buttons, safety lights, safety reset switch before restart, and step by step remote control unit for adjustments.
