Formats: 0.33 L, 0.75 L
This Pentablock Filling Monoblock combines rinsing, filling, corking, and wire-hooding in a single compact rotary frame for glass bottle handling. Manufactured by Mondial, the LD 16-16-3E/PK-1RF-1V configuration delivers robust mechanical design with precise bottle control across the rinsing, filling, capping, and wire-hooding turrets. It is suitable for second hand installations and integration into a used bottling line focused on beverage production and industrial packaging.
