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.
Progressive cavity pumps are often recommended for their ability to gently transport fluids with suspended solids, such as pulp juice, without causing damage to the pulp structure.
Cold filling protects heat-sensitive flavour and colour and allows a lighter bottle. It needs either a preservative system or a validated cold chain, and it moves the microbial control to the product and the plant rather than to the filler. The decision is commercial before it is technical.
| 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 specification sheet for the Juice By Volumetric Filler carries the utility figures quoted here.
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.
Site requirements, air and water consumption sit with the Hotfill Type Filling Machine for Juice.
With a storage trial on the actual product, bottle and closure, held at the intended temperature and sampled on a schedule. Changing the fill temperature, the bottle or the cap invalidates the previous result, which is why those three are treated as one specification.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How Combibloc Fillers Improve Efficiency in Juice Production.
Pulp decides the bore and the valve seat, and it decides whether a piston is needed. A filler set for clear juice bridges on pulp and the dose falls short. Specify the largest particle in the product before the machine is quoted.
Up to 85 C, set per product and per bottle. The exact set point and tolerance belong in the product specification, because acidity, pulp content and bottle wall thickness all move it.
No. Standard PET softens and deforms at fill temperature. The bottle needs a heat-resistant geometry, and the mould and preform are part of the project, not an afterthought.
It replaces the bottle steriliser for acidic products, because the fill temperature and hold time do the microbial work. It does not replace correct product formulation or a validated hold tube.
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.
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.
