Abstract (en)

Bottling plant for containers with liquids, which comprises a filling machine (3), a capping machine (4) and a labeling machine (5). Transportation means (7) adapted to move the containers through the machines of the plant without changing their order are provided. A centralized logic control unit (32) controls the machines to carry out the relative operations in sequence on the single containers. The plant is provided with a detection sensor (33) arranged in the vicinity of the inlet section (8) of the transportation means to intercept the containers that move forward; such sensor is in communication with the logic control unit in order to assign a sequential identification code to each container. Diagnostic means are associated with one or more of the operative machines of the plant in order to detect data identifying the operations that the single containers undergo, such that the control unit can associate the code of each container with a corresponding measurement value received by the diagnostic means. The labeling machine then prints on the label of each container the relative identification code and the corresponding measurement value.
