| Valve type | Isobaric for beer, gravity or volumetric for wine and spirits |
| Rated output | 4,000-20,000 BPH on glass |
| Bottle | Glass, 200-750 ml typical, crown or ROPP closure |
| Key control | Dissolved oxygen, fill height, closure torque |
| Line scope | Rinser, filler, capper or crowner, labeller, packer |
| Cleaning | CIP with caustic and rinse cycles |
Beer carries dissolved CO2 and is extremely sensitive to oxygen. Counter-pressure filling keeps CO2 in solution and limits contact with air. The alternative, filling warm and flat, destroys the head and shortens shelf life. This is why a beer filler and a wine filler are rarely the same machine.
Oxygen drives staling. In beer it shows as cardboard and paper notes within weeks; in wine it flattens fruit and browns the colour. The main entry points are the filler bowl, the space between fill and closure, and the closure itself. Measuring in the finished bottle is the only number that counts.
| Package | Filling | Line rate on glass |
|---|---|---|
| Glass bottle, crown | Isobaric | 4,000-20,000 BPH |
| Glass bottle, ROPP | Isobaric or gravity | 4,000-20,000 BPH |
| Aluminum can | Isobaric + seamer | Up to 25,000 CPH |
| PET, short shelf life | Isobaric | Higher rate, lower barrier |
The Filling Machine for Glass CSD is the reference unit for this configuration.
Glass weighs more, breaks, and needs mechanical spacing instead of an air conveyor. Every transfer is a potential breakage point, so the line runs at a lower rate and with more accumulation. A 20,000 BPH glass line is a different engineering problem from a 20,000 BPH PET line.
Rated output, change parts and services are listed on the Gravity Filling Machine for Glass Bottle Wine page.
Wine is usually filled still and often under inert gas, with a focus on oxygen and sulphite rather than CO2. Beer needs counter-pressure and foam control. The bottle handling is similar; the product protection is not.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How Gravity Filling Machines Handle Wine in Glass Bottles.
The target is set by the brewery and the shelf life claim, and it is measured in the finished package. The line design should minimise pick-up at the filler and the closure; the exact limit belongs in the product specification.
Only with two different fillers. Bottles are filled on an isobaric bottle filler with a crowner; cans on a can filler with a seamer. Some plants run both, but as two lines sharing utilities and packing.
It needs a closure station matched to the closure: cork, screw cap or crown. The filler and the closure machine are specified together, because the bottle finish and the head are one decision.
Glass surfaces and higher fill temperatures nucleate gas faster. The pressure ramp at the end of fill and the product temperature are the two settings that reduce it.
