EXACTA/RC 28/8/8, the new generation filler
At Ronchi’s booth it is possible to see a Filling-Capping Monoblock mod. EXACTA/RC 28/8/8 in operation.
This newest filler is based on the extremely successful and proven flow-meter based filling technology that has set the standard for flow-meter based filling system in the industry.
Resistance to corrosion is guaranteed by the selection of specific material of construction such Hastelloy, AISI 316-L stainless steel and technology state-of-the-art Teflon based coating.
The filler on display in the RONCHI booth is comprised of a tri-block EXACTA/RC combining a 28-head magnetic flow-meter filler, a 8-spindle plug inserter and a 8-spindle servo capper that incorporates individual servo motors for each spindle. The servo driven spindle capper option maximizes both torque control and application flexibility.
This EXACTA/RC has been designed to fill, plug and cap 32 oz tilt neck bottles used for toilet bowl cleaners at rates up to 240 BPM. The bottles are tilted from a neck trailing standing orientation at the entry to the filler and are then positively controlled through the filling, plug insertion and capping processes exiting the EXACTA in their original standing neck trailing orientation on to the discharge conveyor.
The highly corrosive, acid based, product to be filled requires special protection for the filling and closing machine. Alternatively to a machine plastic construction, the choice of adopting Hastelloy, AISI 316-L stainless steel and tough hi-performance Teflon based coating guarantees full mechanical characteristics to the overall monoblock allowing to be exposed to lowest PH liquid contact.
The EXACTA/RC is totally enclosed and a controlled ventilation system prevent highly concentrated vapours to attack any machine surface.

[...] The economics of the current production method requires H2O2 to be produced in large quantities and in solutions with concentrations much higher, and less stable, than those used in most practical applications. Now, a group of chemists and materials scientists from the UK and the US - in an article published on February 20th on “Science” magazine (www.sciencemag.org) – maintain that a carefully tailored alloy of palladium and gold nanoparticles catalyzes the direct production of H2O2 while “switching off” the decomposition of the compound. The breakthrough, which culminates more than five years of research on the topic, promises to enable the on-site production of H2O2 in smaller quantities and more desirable concentrations. Filling process for such products like bleach has already been argued on a previous post: EXACTA/RC 28/8/8, the new generation filler [...]
