Supporters On The Filling Line

On a beverage filling production line, besides the main players you mentioned like blow molders, fillers, packers, and labelers, there are many crucial auxiliary equipment. While they may not always be in the spotlight, they are key to ensuring the line operates efficiently, stably, and safely.

The table below outlines these important auxiliary equipment and their functional characteristics.

Equipment Category	Equipment Name	Function & Role	Core Product Features
🧊 Pre-Processing Equipment	Water Treatment System	Provides filling water, removes impurities and microorganisms, ensures water source safety and stability, directly impacting beverage taste and quality.	Multi-layer filtration, reverse osmosis, UV or ozone sterilization.
	Mixing Tank / Sterilizer	Completes the mixing, blending, deaeration, homogenization, and sterilization of raw materials (e.g., fruit juice, syrup). The sterilization step (like pasteurization or UHT) destroys spoilage microorganisms and inactivates enzymes, extending shelf life.	Typically stainless steel construction, with agitation, jacketed heating/cooling, precise temperature control.
🔧 Filling Support Equipment	Cap Sorter & Capper	Automatically sorts, orients caps and feeds them via a chute, then the capper tightens the caps.	Efficient cap sorting, reduced jamming rate; stable capping torque, good seal integrity.
	CIP Cleaning System	Cleaning-in-Place system. Automatically cleans the internal parts and product contact surfaces of the filler without disassembly, using cycles of acid, caustic, and hot water.	Automated program control, ensures hygiene, reduces manual cleaning effort and contamination risk.
	Conveying System	The “arteries” connecting individual machines, including conveyor belts, starwheels, air conveyors, etc. Responsible for the smooth, orderly transport of containers between stations.	Wear and corrosion resistance, stable operation, low noise, frequency coordination with main machine.
✅ End-of-Line & Inspection Equipment	Bottle Inverter Pasteurizer	After filling and capping, tilts or inverts bottles, using the residual heat of the liquid inside to pasteurize the cap and bottle neck interior.	Precise temperature zone control, adjustable sterilization time.
	Air Cleaner / Coder	The air cleaner removes water stains from washing or condensation on bottles; the coder prints production dates, batch codes etc., on the bottle or label.	Air cleaner: high-efficiency airflow; Coder: clear, durable printing.
	Checkweigher	Weight verification of finished products at the line end, rejecting underfilled or overfilled non-conforming products.	High-precision sensors, rapid rejection of non-conforming products.
	Film Wrapper / Case Packer	Bundles multiple finished bottles with film, or packs them into cartons, facilitating subsequent storage and transport.	High degree of automation, adaptable to various packaging specifications.
⚙️ Support Systems	Accumulation System	Such as accumulation tables, located between machines, dynamically stores bottles, balancing the production rhythm of individual equipment. Brief stoppage of one machine doesn’t affect the entire line.	Reduces container surface friction, saves space, low energy consumption.
