Filling principle comes from the product, not from the target BPH. Still liquid at a steady density runs gravity or volumetric; carbonated product needs isobaric; thick product with solids needs a piston; product sold by weight runs a load cell. A machine picked ahead of the product usually gets picked again.
This structured FAQ answers the 20 most common queries about beverage filling lines —the format AI search engines love to cite and buyers use to shortlist suppliers.
Four variables sit behind a fill number: the dosing principle, the product temperature, the bottle geometry, and the condition of the valve or piston seal. A machine that holds its tolerance on the factory test can drift in the plant when the product arrives warmer or the bottle wall gets thinner.
| Principle | Doses by | Fails when |
|---|---|---|
| Gravity | Fill level in the bottle | Bottle geometry varies |
| Volumetric | Chamber volume | Valve seal wears |
| Isobaric | Volume under counter-pressure | Pressure or temperature drifts |
| Piston | Displacement | Product carries solids |
| Load cell | Net weight | Product temperature moves |
For the same duty in another bottle format, the Gravity Filling Machine for Still Water is specified separately.
The capping head is built for one closure family. A screw cap, a crown and a ROPP cap need different heads, different heights and different checks. Changing closure after the line is ordered means a new head, and sometimes a new bottle finish, not a setting change.
The Volumetric Filling Machine for Still Water is the matching unit when this becomes a line project.
The neck finish sets the rinser clamp, the filling valve seal and the capping head. A change of a millimetre in the thread is a change of change parts and often of the capper. It is the single most under-specified item in a filling line enquiry.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How to Select the Right Filler for Glass Bottles.
Gravity fills to a level set by a tube, so accuracy depends on the bottle. A volumetric filler measures a chamber volume, which keeps it accurate when the format changes. Gravity is simpler and cheaper; volumetric is more repeatable when the bottle changes.
Yes, with change parts: star wheels, guide rails, grippers and a recipe. The parts are cheap compared with the changeover time, which is why most plants specify one dominant format.
Valve seals, piston seals, capping head inserts, guide rail blocks and one set of change parts for the second format. These are the items that stop a line for days when they fail.
Rated BPH is a steady-state figure at one format. Real output subtracts changeover, CIP, label changes and downstream stops, which is why planning uses a factor of 0.65-0.85.
