Engineered for Absolute Safety: ATEX/IECEx-Certified Packaging in Hazardous Environments
Request Your Personalized Quote and Comprehensive Line Specification Sheet.
Operating in a Zone 1, 21, 2, or 22 hazardous area requires technology that is not just safe but certifiably so. The R-200 line is designed and constructed in full compliance with the European ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU (Equipment Directive) and the globally recognized IECEx System standards. This certification encompasses every aspect of the machine—from the increased safety «e» enclosures that prevent sparks to the flameproof «d» housings that contain any internal ignition, and non-incendive «i» intrinsic safety barriers for instrumentation.
Core Safety Principles and Explosion-Protection Architecture: The fundamental design philosophy is prevention and containment. All electrical installations within the hazardous zone are rated for the specific gas group and temperature class of your materials. The system incorporates comprehensive continuous positive pressure purging for control cabinets, dedicated grounding and bonding circuits to dissipate static electricity—a critical risk with flowing solvents—and mechanical seals and containment shrouds around filling and capping points to minimize vapor escape. This multi-layered approach ensures that the entire packaging process is insulated from conditions that could lead to a dangerous incident.
Technical Specifications & Unmatched Performance Metrics of the R-200 Line
The R-200 integrates three core packaging functions into one synchronized, seamless flow. Below is a detailed breakdown of its capabilities:
| Module | Key Features & Technologies | Performance & Specifications |
|---|---|---|
| Filling Module | Volumetric Piston Filling for ultimate accuracy with viscous products; Peristaltic Pump Filling for aggressive, solvent-based chemicals; Overflow (Gravity) Filling for perfect level fills with clear liquids. All wetted parts in 316L SS, PTFE, or PFA. | Fill Volume Range: 5 ml to 5,000 ml. Fill Accuracy: ±0.5% or better for volumetric, ±0.1% for weight-based. Speed: Contingent on volume, up to 120 containers per minute for small fills. No-Drip, Self-Sealing Valves standard. |
| Capping Module | Servo-Driven Spindle Cappers with programmable torque and height control. Handles screw caps, press-on lids, child-safe closures, spray pumps, and flip-tops. Cap Sorting and Elevator optional. | Cap Diameter Range: 10 mm to 120 mm. Torque Control Accuracy: ±2% of set value. Capping Speed: Synchronized with filling rhythm. «No Cap, No Fill» interlock system. |
| Labeling Module | Automatic Roll-Fed Label Applicator with precision stepper motor. Capable of front, back, wrap-around, and neck labeling. Print & Apply integration optional. | Label Accuracy: ±0.5 mm. Max Label Width: 150 mm. Application Speed: Matches line speed. Vision Inspection System for label verification (optional). |
| General Line Specs | Construction: Heavy-duty stainless steel frame (304 SS), Ex-rated enclosures (Aluminum/SS). Power: 400V/50Hz or 480V/60Hz (configurable). Air Supply: 6-8 Bar, dry and clean. Control: Centralized Siemens/Allen-Bradley PLC with 15″ Color HMI Touchscreen in remote safe-area panel. | Line Footprint: Customizable based on layout. Overall Output: 20 to 120 BPM (Bottles Per Minute), dependent on container and product. Changeover Time: Tool-less adjustments, typically under 30 minutes. |
Construction Quality and Hygienic Design for Demanding Applications: Beyond explosion protection, the R-200 is built for longevity in corrosive environments. All external surfaces feature a high-grade chemical-resistant epoxy powder coating. The frame is designed with sloped surfaces and is fully CIP (Clean-in-Place) capable, with no fluid traps, facilitating thorough cleaning and reducing downtime between product batches—a critical feature for producers with diverse chemical portfolios.
Control System Intelligence and User-Friendly Interface: The nerve center is a sophisticated PLC located in the remote safe-area panel. The intuitive, multilingual touchscreen interface allows operators to manage recipes, monitor real-time production data (OEE, output, downtime causes), adjust parameters, and access a full diagnostic suite. The system supports Industrial Ethernet (Profinet, Ethernet/IP) for seamless integration into factory-wide SCADA or MES systems, providing complete traceability and production data logging for quality assurance and regulatory audits.
Designed for Your Industry: Applications for Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics & More
The R-200’s versatility makes it the cornerstone of packaging departments across multiple high-value sectors:
-
Chemical & Automotive: Precise filling of thinners, solvents (acetone, toluene), adhesives, resins, engine additives, brake fluids, and industrial cleaners. The system’s material compatibility ensures no degradation or contamination.
-
Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals: Aseptic-grade options available for alcohol-based hand sanitizers, tinctures, topical solutions, disinfectants, and other flammable or volatile medicinal liquids. Design supports cGMP documentation requirements.
-
Cosmetics & Personal Care: Gentle and accurate handling of nail polish remover (acetone-based), perfumes (alcohol-based), hair dyes, aerosol concentrates, and other volatile beauty products.
-
Paints, Inks & Coatings: Reliable packaging for liquid pigments, printing inks, wood stains, and specialty coatings where color consistency and container seal integrity are paramount.
