US-based BTS Precision has introduced the new BTS01677 Magnetic Bottle Inverter for Procomac bottling machinery, designed to provide precise operation and bottle control. The inverter features precision construction and is machined to exacting tolerances from materials using computer aided processes to provide longevity.

The new BTS01677, which is manufactured from stainless steel Delrin serves as a replacement for standard OEM bottle inverters and offers improved operation and wear characteristics as well as bottle control, during the sanitizing process.

According to BTS, the inverter is positioned during the process, transferred for filling and is magnetically operated for positive control of the bottle. Compared to standard replacement inverters, the new system offers durability and provides benefits through less frequent parts replacements that can cause increased operating and maintenance expenses.

Production can be improved by the plant operators by reducing downtimes and rejected finish products associated with worn and inaccurate parts and the need to replace them, with the improved durability.

To create the bottle neck tension, the BTS01677 bottle inverter uses magnets instead of a spring. Problems caused by failing springs, which result in fewer problems that could impair bottling line throughput, will be eliminated by the inverted magnetic polarity approach.
