Complete automation solutions are our forté.

We are also equipped to assess, design and manufacture

specialized automation equipment.

Tigre Solutions has specialised automation experience in

liquid packaging and product handling.

We assess and design liquid filling equipment, as well as all

the relative auxiliary equipment, enabling us to offer

complete automated line solutions.

Tigre Solutions are capable of manufacturing a wide range

of machinery to suit almost any product and container

styles. All machinery is designed on a powerful 3D rendering

software package, which offers you the opportunity to

visualise the exact appearance of your machine prior to

manufacture. It also gives us an extreme advantage to

ensuring that all components and functionality of the

equipment is above industry standards and the equipment

performs well above your expectations.

Rotary Filler Machine

A mono-block is a filling, capping and rinsing (optional)

solution in a single machine with 1 common drive.

The rotary design of the machine enables the bottles to

constantly move through the sections,

thus saving time and increasing production speed.

Complete 304 stainless steel construction, with fully welded and polished deck, creating a hygienic and

easily cleanable deck surface. Deck is equipped with a gutter system which contains any product spillage

and wash-downs, ensuring cleanliness of the machine work area. Deck has a radius shape to ensure any

spillages run towards the gutters.

316L Stainless steel used in product path.

Header tank with electronic automatic level control. Header tank is fully adjustable to set filling height.

Equipped with two pneumatic actuator valves, one used for the product inlet, the second used for CIP. CIP

line runs to a rotary spray ball for superior cleaning capabilities. Optional - *** Header tank adjustment

done electronically via touch screen panel***

Integrated CIP wash / rinse system.

Level filling nozzle system using food grade silicone bellows, easy and affordable to maintain and keep

clean. Stainless steel components manufactured from 316 grade, and welds polished to meet highest hygiene

standards. Mechanical nozzles with Teflon seals available for chemical applications.

Fully adjustable capping turret. Capping turret operates on a pick and place system. Control sensors ensure

a “no bottle no cap” *** Optional - Capper turret adjusted electronically via HMI touch screen***

Fully adjustable magnetic clutches for final torque on the cap. Magnetic clutch system ensures a smooth

operation of torqueing the cap to the bottle. Adjustment allows the final required torque to be set.

Passive chuck with spring loaded gripping tips or mechanically actuated chucks, to collect the cap, while

ensuring the cap is collected from the pick & place system, perfectly straight and without damage.

Cap ejection pins installed into the spindles. This is a fail-safe system to eject any caps from the chuck

should the cap not be applied for any reason. This ensures that the chuck is always free of any caps before

collecting caps from the pick and place area.

Final drive via high powered motor and gearbox, and oil filled nylon gearing system, ensuring a smooth,

quiet vibration free operation of machine turrets.

Delta PLC controlled.

Delta HMI touch screen, all settings adjustable via the touch screen. Recipe function with 10 Recipes for

easy change over. On-screen active help function.

Line control sensors to ensure machine auto starts/stops when exit conveyor is full, no caps in the cap chute

and no product in the tank scenarios.

Specifications

Basic machine operation:

Bottles are placed onto the in-feed conveyor.

The bottles are fed into the in-feed star-wheel.

The bottles then enter the rinsing turret where they

are orientated upside down (if Rinser is opted for)

A high-pressure jet of water is injected into the bottle

to rinse the bottle internally.

The bottle is then passed to the filling turret where

they are filled using a level filling system.

Once the bottles are filled they are passed to the

capper turret via an intermediate star-wheel.

The capping turret collects a cap from the cap pick

and place system.

The capping heads come onto the bottle tightening

the cap onto the bottle.

The bottles are placed onto the exit conveyor by the

exit star-wheel.

Self-Adhesive

Labelling Machine Lab

elli

ng

We manufacture a fully automatic labeller to label your

containers. The labeller will apply a self-adhesive label

onto your container. The labels can be single-sided,

double-sided or wrap-around (or all three types on one

machine).

Bottles are placed onto the conveyor.

A set of in-feed spacer belts ensure the bottles are

spaced evenly for the label applicator.

As the bottle passes the beak of the label

applicator, the label applicator dispenses a

label.

As the label is being dispensed, the bottle is held down by an overhead belt to prevent movement, the label is applied firmly by a

brush onto the bottle.

The now labelled bottle exits onto the conveyor.
