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. Fix the product first; a machine chosen before it is a machine chosen twice.
By considering factors such as production volume, viscosity, and container specifications, you can make an informed decision when choosing a filling machine for your plant.
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.
| 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 |
Sizing for this duty runs through the Gravity Filling Machine for Still Water, where the valve count is set out.
Valve count follows the target BPH and the fill time per valve. Longer fill time, thicker product or a taller bottle all reduce the rate per valve, so the same BPH needs more valves. Buying valves for a water duty and running juice on them is a common and expensive mismatch.
Valve count, utility schedule and footprint sit on the Volumetric Filling Machine for Still Water page.
The parts cost is small; the time is not. A format change touches star wheels, guide rails, grippers, the cap chute and the recipe. On a line with two formats and two changes a day, the annual hours lost exceed the price of a second small machine in many plants.
The same question is worked through from another angle in 20 Most Common Questions About Beverage Filling Lines (Answered).
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.
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.
Valve seals, piston seals, capping head inserts, guide rail blocks and one set of change parts for the second format. These are the items that stop a line for days when they fail.
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.
