| Rated output | 6,000-36,000 BPH at 0.2-2 L |
| Package | Heat-resistant PET geometry, or glass |
| Line | Hot-fill monobloc with tunnel pasteuriser |
| Products | Juice, tea, nectar, functional drinks |
| Key control | Fill temperature, hold time, cap seal |
Start from the symptom and work back to the mechanism, not from the part list. Most filling faults show up in three places: fill weight or level, closure integrity, and product condition. Which of the three moved first tells you whether the cause is mechanical, thermal or product-side.
Pulp needs either a larger valve bore or a piston filler, and it needs continuous gentle agitation in the bowl. Dead corners in the product path settle fibre, then release it as a slug into the next bottle. Bowl geometry and return-flow design matter more than valve count here.
Make necessary adjustments to accommodate the specific viscosity and pulp content of your product.
| Route | Temperature | What it costs |
|---|---|---|
| Hot fill | Up to 85 C | Heat-resistant bottle and a cooling tunnel |
| Cold fill with preservative | Ambient | Formulation constraint, not a machine constraint |
| Cold fill with in-line pasteuriser | Product-side only | Separate pasteuriser and a closed filling zone |
| Hot fill in glass | Up to 85 C | Glass mass, slower line, higher transport cost |
The Juice By Volumetric Filler is the reference unit for this configuration.
Cap seals and filling valve O-rings, because they see the highest temperature every cycle. A seal that is fine on a water line at 20 C will harden in weeks at 85 C. The spare parts list should carry those two items in proportion to the number of valves, not as a single set.
Site requirements, air and water consumption sit with the Hotfill Type Filling Machine for Juice.
Glass brings mass, breakage and a slower line. It also brings a closure decision: crown, lug or screw. A glass hot-fill line usually runs at a lower rate than the same filler on PET, and the difference is handling and inspection, not the valve.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How Hotfill Machines Extend Juice and Tea Drink Shelf.
Usually fill temperature above the bottle rating, or a vacuum that forms as the product cools. Check the fill temperature against the bottle specification and the cap seal before changing the cooling profile.
It depends on the hold tube volume and the heater capacity. The line is not production-ready until the return temperature is stable, so start-up time belongs in the daily plan rather than being discovered at shift start.
With a filter change and a different valve bore for the pulp, yes. Clear juice needs finer filtration, and pulp needs agitation in the bowl so the fibre does not settle.
A controlled ramp rather than a cold plunge, so the bottle does not deform under vacuum. The tunnel zones are set per bottle geometry and validated with a temperature probe in the product.
