| Filling method | Isobaric, CO2 counter-pressure |
| Rated output | 12,000-36,000 BPH at 0.2-2 L |
| Containers | PET bottle, glass bottle, aluminum can |
| CO2 handling | Pre-pressurisation and return pipe, no venting |
| Valves | Mechanical, semi-electric or volumetric |
| Line scope | Water treatment, syrup mixing, carbonation, filler, pack |
Mechanical valves open and close on a fixed cam profile and are the most forgiving on maintenance. Semi-electric valves use a signal to open and close, so the fill window can be set per recipe. Volumetric valves dose a chamber and hold accuracy when bottle pressure or product temperature drifts during the shift.
Size the filler on peak shift demand with a production factor of 0.65-0.85, then size the CO2 supply on average consumption, not peak. A CO2 plant built for the filler nameplate runs partly loaded for most of the year and loses more gas to vaporisation than the line saves in speed.
| Valve type | Setting | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical | Fixed cam profile | Single product, long runs |
| Semi-electric | Signal-timed open and close | Recipe changes within one product family |
| Volumetric | Chamber dose | Pressure or temperature drift during the shift |
| Isobaric + volumetric | Chamber dose under counter-pressure | High CO2 with tight fill accuracy |
A different bottle format means a different unit; see the Isobaric Filling Machine for CSD and Sparkling Water.
Syrup is proportioned and blended with treated water, then carbonated under pressure and temperature control. The ratio accuracy and the carbonation stability decide the product, and both are upstream of the filler. A filler cannot correct a drifting blend.
The CSD & Sparkling Water by Mechanical Filler is the reference unit for this configuration.
Warm product holds less CO2 at the same pressure, so the filler either loses gas or needs a higher pressure that increases foaming. Chilling before carbonation is the standard answer, and the chiller capacity belongs in the utility schedule.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How to Minimize Foam in CSD Filling Lines.
It holds what the mixer sets and the temperature allows. Most CSD runs between 2.5 and 4.0 volumes, with the target set per product. Retention, not the mixer set point, is what the acceptance test should measure in the filled bottle.
400 cans per minute. CPH and BPH are different units and cannot be compared directly, because can and bottle formats carry different volumes and different downstream equipment.
The higher the volumes, the sharper the mouthfeel and the more pressure the package must hold. Higher carbonation also needs a colder fill and a tighter pressure ramp, so it reduces practical line speed.
Warm product and an empty bowl. The first bottles see the largest pressure step. A short recirculation before production and a controlled bowl cool-down remove most of it.
