The product fixes the filling principle; output only fixes the size. 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.
Bottles with inconsistent wall thickness may deform or buckle under pressure, leading to inaccuracies in the filling levels.
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 |
The unit behind this configuration is the Gravity Filling Machine for Still Water.
Rated output at the specified format, fill accuracy on a defined sample, closure torque or seal measurement, and a timed changeover with the buyer watching. Anything not measured before sign-off becomes a discussion after the final payment.
The Volumetric Filling Machine for Still Water is the matching unit when this becomes a line project.
Foaming product needs a slower fill ramp and often a longer nozzle that reaches below the surface. The machine is the same frame with a different valve and a different cam or recipe. Sizing it on the water rate and hoping the foam settles is how lines end up at half output.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How to Choose Between a Monobloc and a Modular.
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.
It depends on the principle and the product. A volumetric or load cell filler holds a tighter band than gravity on a variable bottle. The tolerance belongs in the acceptance protocol, measured by weight on a defined sample.
From tens of minutes to over an hour, set by the circuit volume and the soil. It is a fixed cost per production day and should be planned as downtime, not squeezed into the shift.
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.
