What Is A Beer Filling Machine?

Craft beer is experiencing explosive growth, and beer and carbonated beverage filling machines can maintain carbonation throughout the filling process. These machines can help you fill hundreds of bottles of products in a shorter time. A certain amount of product filling and packaging can be completed efficiently.

What is a filling machine?

Filling machines are used to fill products into bags, sachets or containers such as barrels and bottles. Most commodities are measured in a specified quantity after production, and then put into bags or containers before being sold on the market. There are various types of filling machines on the market, suitable for liquid, paste, powder or granular materials.

Omit the entire process from product manufacturing to delivery, packaging is one of the processes. This is necessary in specific cases, but many production sites use filling machines as packaging with metering functions.

Working principle of beer filling machine

The beer filling machine is developed according to the beer production process.

Its working principle is: the cleaned bottle is sent to the bottle feeding spiral of the machine by the bottle feeding belt, and then sent to the turntable by the bottle feeding wheel. The bottle holder rises, and under the guidance of the centering device, the bottle mouth is pressed under the bottle inlet of the filling valve to form a seal.

After the bottle is emptied, gas (CO₂) rushes into the bottle from the gas tank. When the air pressure in the bottle is equal to the air pressure in the gas tank, the liquid valve opens under the action of the liquid valve spring. At this time, the beer is filled into the bottle along the bottle wall under the guidance of the umbrella-shaped reflective ring on the return air pipe. When the beer rises to a certain height, the beer will stop filling, thus completing the filling process.

Advantages of installing a beer filling machine

• Improve efficiency

Filling machines include semi-automatic filling machine types that must be manually operated, and fully automatic filling machine types. By reducing manual operations, packaging time is saved and production efficiency is improved.

• Easier work

If manual filling is used, uneven quantities may occur, depending on your skills and experience. Using a filling machine can achieve quantitative packaging, stable quality, and efficient operation.

How to choose a beer filling machine

• Service production process

For strong-flavor beer, in order to avoid the loss of volatile aromatic substances, a cup-type or normal pressure filling machine should generally be used. For juice, in order to reduce contact with air and ensure product quality, a vacuum filling machine is generally used. Secondly, the production capacity of the filling machine should match the processing and packaging machinery before and after processing.

• Productivity and equipment quality

The level of productivity reflects the production capacity of the production line. Therefore, the higher the productivity, the better the economic benefits. In order to improve product quality, a filling machine with high equipment precision and high degree of automation should be selected. But the price of the equipment will also rise accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary to select the most suitable equipment according to the requirements of the production process.
