Filling systems

Overview

Our modular rotary and linear bearing technology can be installed in any beverage bottling line, regardless of whether it is a partially or fully automated system. The top priority for these components is that they are easy to clean, do not require lubricants and fulfil high service life requirements.

Products used and application examples

The following shows the main areas of application for our linear and plain bearing technology in filling systems. These are used in a wide variety of sections, e.g. in the clamping star for holding the bottles or in the filling and dosing station.

Overview of the stations

Staple star

Filling and dosing station

Screw capper

Control valve

Clamping star in a filling line connects and guides components.

Clamp star

iglidur ® J or iglidur ® X plain bearings are used for the bearing of the clamp elements. Two-component rollers made of an iglidur® plastic roller and a TPU outer jacket ensure the smooth and wear-free movement on the rotary axis.

Filling and dosing station for bottling lines with multiple nozzles above rows of bottles.

Filling and dosing station

The bottles are lifted at the valves and pumps of the filling and dosing stations via drylin® T-rail guides. In the cam-guided lifting element for the bottles, plain bearings made of iglidur® J, drylin® JUM films or iglidur ® H plain bearings are also used.

Screw capping mechanism for filling lines with a central spindle and bracket.

Circular filler actuating mechanism

For the pivoting movement in the pinion bearing, iglidur ® J guide rings are used, which are more wear-resistant than PTFE belts and have a high load-bearing capacity. A drylin® R JUM linear bearing is used for the cam-guided linear movement.

Control valve for filling systems with two pipe connections.

Control valve

Bearings made of the material iglidur ® J or iglidur ® H370 guide ring are used for the linear movement of the control valves in the bottling plant.

Hygienic bearing in capping unit

Special plastic bearing in a stainless steel system as a hygienic closure.

KHS relies on particularly hygienic special bearings for the linear stroke in the capping units of a PET bottle filling line.

Injection moulding clamping star in filling line

igus MultiGuide-Base system with clamping star wheels for bottle transport.

The MultiGuide Base from Krones eliminates the need to change the clothing. Clamps and rollers are special parts, while the plain bearings are made of iglidur® X.

PET filling system with lubrication-free bearings

InnoPET TriBlock KHS system for filling and labelling.

The compact filling system "InnoPET TriBlock" from KHS works with our plain, linear, ball bearings and linear tables.

Beverage bottling plant

Conveyor system with cable carrier and igus components in a production environment.

For more than twenty years, plain bearings from the igus® construction kit have been used in the customised bottling plants of Küppersbusch GmbH.

Sterile filling line

A filling machine fills bottles on a conveyor belt in a production line.

This pharmaceutical filling line relies on lubrication- and maintenance-free drylin® storage technology.

Bottle leveller in bottling plant

Rotary table with metal clamps in an industrial production line.

iglidur® bearings work wear-resistant, lubricant- and maintenance-free in beverage bottling.

Clamping stars in filling machines

Bottles move through an automatic filling machine with several rotary tables.

Two-component plastic rollers for clamping stars double the downtime of filling machines.
