Glass bottles advancing on a stainless fill and cap line

Projects / 06

The sequence runs
without fighting cleaning.

The stations were running; after cleaning the line had to be rediscovered. Sequence was tied to the hygiene window.

Project

Filling Line Transfer Lock

In the Balıkesir hall, fill and cap spoke different languages. After cleaning, the line had to relearn the sequence.

Laying conveyors was not enough. The reason for a stop had to sit in the same tag vocabulary as the hygiene window.

Need

If reset overrides hygiene, the line is rediscovered.

The stations were running. The real break was that the shared interlock ran on guesswork.

  1. 01

    Sequence is broken

    Fill finishes; cap runs on its own tempo. Transfer disappears in between.

  2. 02

    Cleaning is a stranger

    The CIP window is not part of the reset logic.

  3. 03

    Level arrives late

    An underfill shows at the next point — sometimes on the shelf.

Approach

The sequence talks to cleaning.

The reason for a stop was separated first. Then transfer and the vision decision were written into the same flow.

  1. 01

    Sequence

    Fill, weigh, and cap locked in one line language.

  2. 02

    Hygiene

    The cleaning window is part of reset, not a stranger to it.

  3. 03

    Decision

    Level and cap presence go to the PLC at line speed.

On site

The cap continues the fill.

When the recipe changes, the sequence changes with it. A fail leaves without blocking the line. The HMI belongs to the night shift.

    Line Automation

    A running station is not a running line.

    Control software must belong to the night shift as well.

    Machine Vision

    A camera is not a quality system. The station is.

Result

The sequence is the hall’s language.

We do not invent a fill rate or a scrap percentage. Delivery is a flow that talks to hygiene.

  1. New production flow

    Fill, cap, and cleaning sit in the same interlock.

  2. Integrated system

    The level decision is tied to the PLC; the recipe to the HMI.

  3. Process scope

    Reset does not ignore the cleaning window.
