I am contemplating a DIY build based on this unit:
H&B Bottler - FC1M
found here:
http://www.chicompany.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=376_394_397&products_id=3316
Has anyone ever seen one of this operate or have any information, operating manual, pictures etc? They want $4300 and I am thinking that it can be hand built for a whole lot less. I'd hope for around $500.
Here are their specs:
Model: H&B Bottler - FC1M
Shipping Weight: 30lbs
SEMI-AUTOMATIC BOTTLE FILLER & CAPPER
FEATURES:
pre-evacuation
co2 counter-pressure
snifting
co2 fobbing
crowning of the bottle without moving the bottle from the filler
easy clean in place process
accommodation of any bottle size from 7" tall to 12" tall and up to 3 1/2" diameter
polished stainless steel enclosure
FILL TIME:
Approximately 30 seconds for a 22oz. bottle
OPERATION:
Manual placement of bottle
Manual placement of crown
Manual control for each operation by pushbutton or control switch
Required Utilities:
Source for compressed air @ 50psi
Connection to a standard beer tank/keg, Beer line & CO2 line
DIMENSIONS:
11"W, 6"D, 26"H.
This fellow built one, looks a bit different, but seemingly doable:
This liquid filling machine for $200 ish, could be interesting to handle the volumes, but I think it uses a peristaltic pump which could be a foamy nightmare:

Any thoughts? Thanks-
