Technical Specifications & Performance Data This Pentablock Filling
Monoblock combines rinsing, filling, corking, and wire-hooding in a
single compact rotary frame for glass bottle handling. Manufactured by
Mondial, the LD 16-16-3E/PK-1RF-1V configuration delivers robust
mechanical design with precise bottle control across the rinsing,
filling, capping, and wire-hooding turrets. It is suitable for second
hand installations and integration into a used bottling line focused
on beverage production and industrial packaging. Model: LD
16-16-3E/PK-1RF-1V Bottle materials: Glass Bottle formats: Compatible
with 0.33L and 0.75L bottle formats Rinser turret: 16 grippers
(rotary) Filler turret: 16 valves, gravity/light depression technology
Closures supported: Crown cap, champagne-style mushroom cork Wire
hooding: Integrated wire-hood applicator for champagne-style closures
HMI: Siemens OP73 Micro Typical applications: Wine, sparkling wine,
and specialty beverages in glass Advanced Automation & Control Systems
The monoblock features an integrated automation architecture with a
user-friendly HMI for setup, format recipes, and diagnostics. Line
operators benefit from clear alarm messaging and guided procedures
that reduce downtime and facilitate changeovers between formats and
closure types. The control system supports coordinated motion across
turrets to maintain stable product handling and consistent fill
accuracy. Siemens OP73 Micro HMI for monitoring and control
Programmable format parameters for different bottle sizes Interlocked
guards and safety logic for operator protection Quick adjustments for
height and starwheel changeovers Production Line Integration
Capabilities Engineered to operate as a standalone monoblock or
integrated within a complete used bottling line, this machine accepts
infeed conveyors and outfeed conveyors for seamless connection to
upstream and downstream equipment such as labelers, inspectors, and
packers. Its rotary architecture accommodates format parts for
multiple glass bottle sizes and closure types while maintaining
consistent throughput and gentle handling. Inline integration with
standard conveyor systems Multi-format capability: 0.33L and 0.75L
glass bottles Closure flexibility: crown cap and champagne-style cork
with wire-hood Suitable for production environments of refermented
beer and classically prepared sparkling wine Machine Condition &
Maintenance History The machine is presented as ready for operation
with a commercial focus on reliable second hand bottling equipment.
Standard preventive maintenance points are accessible, with clear
procedures for scheduled inspections and sanitation to maintain
consistent quality. Operational status: ready for operation Routine
access for inspection and cleaning Supports sanitization of
product-contact parts Operational Performance & Versatility This
monoblock is designed for glass beverage applications requiring
high-quality rinsing, accurate gravity/light depression filling,
robust closure application, and secure wire-hooding for
champagne-style finishes. The multi-closure capability (crown cap and
champagne-style cork with wire-hood) broadens production versatility,
enabling seasonal or mixed-format wine and sparkling wine runs within
the same footprint. Precision gravity/light depression filling for
glass bottles Stable handling for delicate premium glass formats Dual
closure compatibility with integrated wire-hooding for greater
flexibility Complete finishing solution for beer and classic spumante
wine filling. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation The compact
rotary design simplifies layout within existing industrial packaging
halls. The machine requires standard utilities for power, compressed
air for actuators, cap handling, and wire-hood application, and
process/product connections compatible with beverage production
standards. Floor anchoring points and access clearances should be
planned to allow format changes and maintenance. Space for operator
access and format change parts Electrical power supply per OEM
specification Compressed air for pneumatic devices Product and
discharge connections per beverage line practice Safety Standards &
Compliance Certification The monoblock incorporates interlocked safety
guards, emergency stop stations, and warning plates in accordance with
standard bottling machinery practices. Hygienic construction of
product-contact areas supports beverage quality requirements. Guarding
with interlocks around turrets Emergency stop circuits and safety
