| Supply scope | Filling, capping and closing equipment |
| Filling principles | Gravity, volumetric, isobaric, piston, load cell |
| Capacity range | 2,000-48,000 BPH by configuration |
| Accuracy basis | Volume, weight or fill level |
| Contact material | SUS 304 product contact, CIP-ready |
| Key control | Fill accuracy, closure integrity, CIP time |
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.
Witness or commission a third party to verify speed, fill accuracy (±0.5–1%), CIP effectiveness, and safety.
The capping head is built for one closure family. A screw cap, a crown and a ROPP cap need different heads, different heights and different checks. Changing closure after the line is ordered means a new head, and sometimes a new bottle finish, not a setting change.
Sourcing from China can cut CAPEX by 30–60% versus European brands—but only if the process is managed.
| 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 |
For the same duty in another bottle format, the Gravity Filling Machine for Still Water is specified separately.
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.
Sunswell has commissioned lines in Kazakhstan (3 lines at once), the Maldives, Syria, and Turkey— see project references.
Valve count, utility schedule and footprint sit on the Volumetric Filling Machine for Still Water page.
Wiring and pneumatic diagrams, the spare parts list with lead times, the changeover checklist, the CIP recipe and the acceptance record. A line handed over without those five is a line that depends on the engineer who installed it.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How Semi-Automatic Fillers Benefit Small Beverage Manufacturers.
Gravity fills to a level set by a tube, so accuracy depends on the bottle. Because volumetric filling doses by chamber volume, accuracy holds across bottle sizes. Gravity is simpler and cheaper; volumetric is more repeatable when the bottle changes.
Yes, with change parts: star wheels, guide rails, grippers and a recipe. The parts are cheap compared with the changeover time, which is why most plants specify one dominant format.
A single frame carrying the rinser, the filler and the capper, driven and controlled together. It removes two transfers and the floor space between three separate machines.
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.
