Description

The Automated Workhorse for Growing Beverage Brands

The LR-400 Universal Automatic Monoblock represents the next step in production scalability for beverage manufacturers. Engineered for businesses that have outgrown manual or semi-automatic bottling, this machine automates the entire sequence from empty bottle infeed to sealed product discharge. Its «universal» designation comes from its robust design and adjustable components, making it suitable for various carbonated products packaged in standard glass bottles. For entrepreneurs in growth markets, this machine offers a perfect balance of increased automation, manageable investment, and the proven durability required for continuous operation.

Streamlined Automatic Operation: From Infeed to Sealed Bottle

The LR-400 Universal operates on a seamless, automated workflow:

1. Automatic Bottle Feeding: Empty glass bottles are fed via a conveyor system into the machine’s bottle orienter. This orienter ensures all bottles are correctly aligned for the filling process.

2. Precision Filling: The aligned bottles are automatically indexed under the filling valves. The machine utilizes a controlled filling system suitable for carbonated products, ensuring accurate fill volumes while managing foam.

3. Automatic Crown Capping: Immediately after filling, bottles are transported to the integrated automatic crowning station. Here, aluminum crown caps (crown corks) are sorted, oriented, and mechanically crimped onto the bottles with consistent force.

4. Discharge: The sealed bottles are conveyed out of the monoblock, ready for downstream processes like labeling, pasteurization, or packaging.
