Norland’s TritonLine™ series automatically washes, fills and caps 3-to-5-gallon bottles of virtually any style simultaneously, without the need for any hand-sorting or equipment adjustments. The TritonLine Model 450, water bottling equipment, shown here, washes, fills and caps up to 450 bottles an hour. Also available are models that process 300, 600 and 900 bottles an hour respectively. Other operating parameters are virtually identical with the Model 450.

System Features:

1. Handles multiple-sized bottles simultaneously with no manual adjustments. (3-5 gal., 11.4-18.9 L).
2. Easy to hook up: just two supply water connections and two drains.
3. Both washer and filler use the same electrical connection.
4. Stainless steel piping used throughout helps provide longevity, durability and virtually eliminates maintenance.
5. Pre-stretched stainless steel drive chains ride on self-lubricating UHWM support guides to eliminate risk of grease contamination.
6. Washer and filler use same electrical connection.

The first automatic system to process multiplesized bottles and styles simultaneously—without hand-sorting or adjustments.

The Bottle System has been designed for maximum efficiency and ease of operation. Stainless steel piping is used throughout the equipment, providing longevity, durability and low maintenance. Pre-stretched stainless steel drive chains ride on self-lubricating UHMW support guides to eliminate risk of grease contamination. Just two supply water connections and two drains are required, making installation easy. Additionally, both washer and filler units operate from the same electrical connection. Over-sized filter screens at the pre-wash, wash and sanitize tanks minimize screen cleaning requirements, virtually eliminating downtime for pump maintenance.

Norland’s multi-function Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) provides immediate digital readout quickly and easily. Bottle-positioning controls sense faults and alert the operator to any problems. Stack lighting indicators show operating conditions at a glance.

The TritonLine Model 450 features a floor-level high capacity hopper that holds approximately 1500 caps, making the refill process a twice-a-shift operation. An elevator automatically carries caps up to the pneumatically assisted cap sorter.

Pre-wash/Wash Features
1. Bottles stop at each station to ensure highest quality, cleanest bottles possible.
2. Enclosed clean room separates washer unload area from filling area.
3. Uses recycled product rinse water, to keep the pre-wash, wash and sanitizing tanks cleaner, and to reduce amount of separate bottle pre-cleaning required before washing.
4. Low-water protection for all heating elements in wash tank.
5. Filter screens for pre-wash, wash and sanitizing tanks minimize screen cleaning requirements and virtually eliminate downtime for pump maintenance.
6. Adjustable wash time. (Normal cycle is 60-second wash, 30-second sanitize and 16-second product water rinse.)
7. Electric wash water heater thermostatically controlled by the PLC.
8. Chemical feed pumps for detergent and sanitizer solutions are easily adjustable at the PLC or pump, to maintain proper solution concentration.
9. Adjustable rinse cycle controller can be manually set at desired intervals up to 100 seconds.

Filling Component Features
1. Stainless steel filler supply tank is designed to supply product water to the filler valves. Water does not recirculate back to the main storage tank, substantially reducing amount of waste water, and eliminating the threat of contaminating the large tank.
2. Inlet/outlet bottle sensors provide positive bottle location.
3. Unique “lift-and-hold” device during filling and capping process minimizes wear on bottle bottoms and the central drive chain.
4. Stainless steel conveyor on filler and stainless steel filler nozzles increase durability for longer life, minimizes maintenance, and provides easier, more effective sanitation.

Capping Component Features
1. High-capacity hopper holds approximately 1,500 caps, to make hopper refill process a twice-a-shift operation.
2. Floor-level hopper means no ladder-climbing to fill sorter, making the operation easier and safer.
3. Elevator automatically carries caps from hopper to pneumatically-assisted cap sorter.
4. Cap-sorter is quiet and reliable, with few moving parts to wear out or misalign.
