Bottle line guide
Carbonated bottle filling and capping guide.
Bottle filling for carbonated drinks should be planned around pressure control, bottle handling, closure choice and downstream presentation.
- Confirm bottle material and size range.
- Send neck finish and closure details.
- Check label route and finished pack presentation.
| Bottle line element | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Bottle | Material, size, neck finish, sample |
| Filler | Counter-pressure or isobaric route |
| Closure | Cap/crown/ROPP and application method |
| Label/coder | Bottle drying, label type and batch coding |
| Output | Useful packs per hour after all stages |
- Review screw cap, ROPP, crown or specialty closure.
- Check cap feeding and changeovers.
- Measure closure quality during production.
- Match filler, capper and labeller speeds.
- Avoid long open-container transfers.
- Include packing in the output estimate.
FAQs
Common questions.
Can one bottle filler handle glass and PET?
Sometimes, but handling and capping details must be checked carefully.
How close should capping be to filling?
For carbonated drinks, closure should be close enough to minimise open time after fill.
What should I send for a quote?
Send bottle samples, closures, drink type, carbonation, temperature, output and required line scope.
