Volumetric filler – Volufill NH

− The new fillers line Volufill is a perfect example of easy of use and
simplicity featuring the KOSME’s hallmark - an unrivalled solution
to ensure maximum quality and reliability in every situation.
− The high reliability of the electronic filling valves (flowmeters) and
of the electro-pneumatic control ensures a quick and foam-free
filling process, which preserves product quality.
− The Volufill allows for several combinations with rinsing machines
and cappers to meet all customer requirements.

Sloped table (Roof table)

KOSME uses a table, whose structure is similar to a pavilion roof, as

well as sloped surfaces, in order to avoid any accumulation of liquids
on the machine frame: this configuration automatically improves the
run-off of product residues, thereby ensuring the microbiological
safety of the filler.

Main unit valves

The main unit valves include:

− Product feed controlled by a valve, which receives the
signal (4-20 mA) from the probe that checks the product
level in the tank.
− Delivery of sterile air, which is used in the sorter and to
speed up the emptying process during the CIP phase
− Ducts for CIP return and blow-off
− The process valves are manufactured by EVOGUARD, a
subsidiary of KRONES.
− The upper part includes a stainless steel cabinet for the
pneumatic system. The pneumatic system is manufactured
by SMC (optionally FESTO).
− All welded joints of the piping are passivated and
electropolished.

Rinsing tower

− The grippers are made of electropolished surfaces with shaped

rubber contact buffers.
− The gaskets and plastic parts that come into contact with the
treatment liquid are made of specific food compatible material.

Volumetric filling system

Functions of the electro-pneumatic control of the filling valve

− Filling through gravity with full-jet process
− Measurement of the charge through measuring devices with
inductive flowmeter
− Contactless filling
− Function with two filling speeds
− Design without lifting cylinder
− The products must have a conductivity > 40 µs/cm
− The materials that come into contact with the product are made
of AISI 316, EPDM, PTFE and PEEK

Volumetric valve VFJ (40400K)

− High microbiological safety thanks to contactless filling

− The filling flowmeter determines precisely the relevant quantity
− Two possible filling speeds to ensure perfect flow properties
− Hygienic design
− Close-circuit CIP with manual feed of dummy bottles (automatic
feed available as an option)
− Functions of the filling valves with electro-pneumatic control Inductive
flowmeter

− Possibility of filling still products such as water, flavoured water,

juice, etc. (the products must not contain pulp nor fibres).
− Optional: In case of water with a conductivity <40 µs/cm, it is Control valve - quick
filling mode
possible to use a mass flowmeter.

CIP system

− Close-circuit CIP with manual feed of dummy bottles (automatic

feed available as an option) Counterweight
− The machine is also equipped with a bowl, which can be used only
for open CIP with hot water and only for the product infeed line
and the tank.

Capper

− All our fillers can be set for any possible application with
different capping heads.
− The new modular design allows you to easily combine
different capping heads.
− Caps available in versions entirely made of AISI 304
stainless steel (cleanable version).
