    2. Production speed: up to 900 bottles/hour.

    3. Filling technology: isobaric counter-pressure, with double pre-evacuation system.

    4. Fill type: isobaric.

    5. Container types: glass bottles.

    6. Bottle formats: 0.33 L (0.1 gal), 0.50 L (0.1 gal), 0.70 L (0.2 gal).

    7. Product types: beer (configured for carbonated products).

    8. Line components: GAI rinsing-filling-capping monoblock with crown capper; Enos labeling system.

  3. Component Details

    1. GAI MLE441-BIER-003, 2016, filling monoblock, configured for crown cap.

    2. Enos SIRIAM, 2016, labeling machine.

  4. Automation And Controls

    1. Centralized controls to streamline operation and changeovers.

    2. GAI monoblock regulates isobaric parameters to limit oxygen pickup and foam, maintaining consistent fill levels on all listed formats.

    3. Operator-friendly HMI bottling station provides status, alarms, and access to format recipes where configured.

    4. Control interface: HMI with status indications and alarms.

    5. Automation: PLC-based logic; recipe-led parameters when enabled.

    6. Process control: counter-pressure setpoints tailored to beer carbonation.

    7. Safety features: interlocked guards, emergency stops, standard protections.

    8. Electrical: standard industrial power supply (to be confirmed during site survey).

  5. Line Integration

    1. Interfaces with common upstream and downstream modules including depalletizers, conveyors, date coders, inspection, and case packing.

    2. Enos SIRIAM labeler aligns with brewery-standard label applications and synchronizes with existing conveyor speeds and inspection logic.

    3. Compatibility: interfaces with standard transport conveyors, inspection, and packing equipment.

    4. Format change: supports 0.33 L (0.1 gal), 0.50 L (0.1 gal), and 0.70 L (0.2 gal) with dedicated change parts.

    5. Coding/inspection: ready to accept common date coding and fill-level inspection systems.

  6. Condition And Maintenance

    1. Condition: ready for operation.

    2. Manuals available to support installation, operation, and maintenance.

    3. GAI and Enos components provide ongoing serviceability and access to spare parts.

  7. Operational Performance

    1. Isobaric monoblock stabilizes counter-pressure conditions to preserve carbonation and reduce dissolved oxygen.

    2. Capper is configured for crown caps.

    3. Footprint supports craft and regional-scale output targeting up to 900 bph.

  8. Installation Requirements

    1. Utilities: electrical power, compressed air for actuators, process water for rinsing, CO2 supply for isobaric operation, and drainage.

    2. Safety: guarding and interlocks across rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling; emergency stops and protective enclosures.
