Used COMTEC heating tunnel - year 2017Technical Specifications &
Performance DataThis COMTEC bottle heating tunnel is engineered to
stabilize bottle temperature immediately after filling by showering
containers with warm water. By reducing thermal shock, it helps
protect both product integrity and container quality across a wide
range of beverage applications. Manufactured in 2017, this second hand
unit offers reliable performance for industrial packaging and beverage
production environments, and can be integrated within a used bottling
line or operate as a standalone temperature-conditioning
module.Manufacturer: COMTECYear: 2017Model: 4MQProcess function:
Post-filling warm-water spray (rain/shower) bottle heatingPrimary
purpose: Temperature stabilization to reduce thermal shock and prevent
bottle damageContainer compatibility: Designed for PET and Glass
bottlesApplication stage: Downstream of filler, upstream of
labeling/packagingOperating mode: Inline continuous tunnel with
warm-water recirculation and spray distributionAdvanced Automation &
Control SystemsThe tunnel utilizes controlled warm-water distribution
to ensure even coverage and consistent temperature conditioning.
Standard industrial controls enable operators to manage process
parameters, monitor spray performance, and coordinate with upstream
and downstream equipment. Integrated safeguards and interlocks support
stable operation within modern bottling equipment setups.Centralized
operator controls for process managementConsistent spray pattern for
uniform bottle surface wettingDesigned for integration with line
PLC/HMI architecturesOperator protections with standard industrial
safety interlocksProduction Line Integration CapabilitiesEngineered
for seamless integration into existing production lines, the heating
tunnel connects easily to conveyors and synchronizes with fillers,
rinsers, labelers, and downstream packaging machinery. Its
post-filling placement makes it suitable for a wide range of formats
and production speeds in beverage production and industrial packaging
environments.Inline or standalone operationCompatible with typical
bottle conveyors and accumulation systemsSupports multi-format
operations common to used bottling line upgradesMachine Condition &
Maintenance HistoryThis 2017 COMTEC tunnel is presented as a second
hand solution in working condition, ready for operation within a
modern packaging line. Its warm-water shower process helps extend
container handling reliability, providing a practical enhancement to
quality and throughput.Operational status: Ready for
operationCommercial use: Suitable for integration into a used bottling
line or industrial packaging cellOperational Performance &
VersatilityThe tunnelâs warm-water shower process supports
beverage producers seeking to minimize thermal stress following cold
or ambient filling. It is well-suited to a variety of bottle sizes and
shapes typical of water, juice, beer, and wine applications, while
maintaining compatibility with both PET and glass containers.Reduces
thermal stress after filling to protect product and packagingSupports
a broad range of beverage production formatsConsistent conditioning
for improved downstream labeling and packingInstallation Requirements
& Site PreparationThe unit is designed for straightforward
installation within an existing line layout. Typical utilities include
power, process water for warm spray operation, and drainage for water
recirculation/overflow. Physical integration requires alignment with
existing conveyors and sufficient service access for routine cleaning
and maintenance.Utilities: Electrical power, warm water
supply/recirculation, drainageLine integration: Conveyor connectivity
upstream/downstream of fillerMaintenance access: Service clearances
for cleaning of spray sectionsSafety Standards & Compliance
CertificationThe heating tunnel incorporates industrial safety
practices suitable for beverage production environments. Protective
guarding, emergency-stop functions, and interlocks support safe
operation during production and maintenance. Hygienic design
considerations facilitate cleaning and routine sanitation, aligning
with good manufacturing practices for food and beverage
processing.Protective guards and access panelsEmergency stop circuits
