DESCRIPTION

The DVDR rotary machine is designed for bottling companies requiring production volumes up to 3,000 bottles/hour*.  (*the actual production volume of this automatic machine strongly depends on the characteristics of the wine and the quantity of liqueur). In order to reach high production volumes, the machine is equipped with two turrets.

The DVDR model offers an effective solution to those who must complete the processing of bottle-fermented drinks, such as sparkling wines, champagne, and cider after the riddling.
The machine consists of a base equipped with the necessary units for productions according to traditional methods:

BOTTLE INFEED: conveyor star spacing the bottles at the inlet of the machine.

AUTOMATIC DISGORGEMENT TURRET: consisting of mechanical arms handling the bottles from the neck and angling them by 60°. Each arm is equipped with its cap remover and support for the body of the bottle. The ejection of the deposit is facilitated through the Venturi system.

TRANSFER TO THE SECOND TURRET: equipped with a mechanical control device monitoring the presence of crown cap and bidule (PVC-free virgin polyethylene stopper perfectly adhering to the neck of the bottle to ensure tightness)

OUTPOUR/EJECTION OF DEPOSIT/DOSING/TOPPING UP: the extraction valves work using inert gas while the grippers keep the bottles upright. The dosing valves are equipped with degassing valve. The dosing unit is adjustable for the injection into the bottle of the quantity of “liqueur d’expédition” desired (from 0 to 6cl); adjustable dosing speed; device ensuring the perfect dosing of the liqueur.
The topping up is obtained by counter-pressure or gravity with the bottle maintained in upright position by handling the bottle neck. The wine used for the final topping up is contained in a tank located in the upper part of the machine.
This tank at its turn is supplied from an intermediate tank that collects the wine coming from the first stage of the disgorging. The intermediate tank can be supplied also by emptying open bottles.

OPERATOR PANEL: allows the automatic adjustment of the height of the disgorging turret by recalling the format of the bottle to be processed; it also allows regulating the working times completely. The machine is equipped with an auxiliary control for the manual operation of the machine during the maintenance.

All components of our machines are designed to be easily accessible and inspectable to facilitate their cleaning and maintenance thus ensuring a long life.
Like all OMBF machines, this model is entirely manufactured of stainless steel, food quality plastic materials, and steel alloys, in compliance with the regulations in force concerning the “Materials and Articles in contact with Food”, MOCA: EC 1935/2004 Regulation.

The machine conforms to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
