Customizable beverage filling system

1. Customization of packaging adaptation
   • Container type and size: These systems can be adapted to multiple container materials such as PET, glass, aluminum cans, and paper boxes. For example, GEA's new filling system launched in 2025 can handle containers made of PET, aluminum, and glass, and supports screw caps, sports caps, and other sealing methods. Palmer's rotary can filling system can be customized for can sizes including 100ml small cans and 24oz large cans, covering standard, thin, and narrow can types. In terms of capacity, they can be adjusted to fill 200ml small bottles and 5-gallon barrels according to needs.
   • Rapid format switching: To cope with the production of multiple product specifications, many systems are equipped with quick switching functions. GEA's new filler is equipped with a new clamping mechanism, which can automatically switch the bottle type without tools or manual adjustment when the bottle neck specifications are the same, avoiding the trouble of parts replacement and external cleaning.
2. Customization of filling technology

   Different beverages have special requirements for filling methods to ensure quality and taste, and the system can be customized with corresponding technologies:

   • Gravity filling: It is suitable for still beverages such as pure water. It uses the principle of gravity for filling, which is cost-effective and suitable for high-speed production.
   • Pressure filling: It is customized for carbonated drinks and mineral water with added gas, which can prevent the loss of carbon dioxide during the filling process and maintain the taste of the beverage.
   • Hot filling: It is designed for vitamin-enriched water and fruit juice. Pasteurization is carried out while filling, which can extend the shelf life of the beverage without adding preservatives.
   • Electronic weighing filling: It is applicable to products with strict requirements on filling accuracy. It ensures filling according to weight, reduces product loss, and is often used in high-value specialty beverages.
3. Customization of production capacity

   The system can be customized into different automation levels and production speeds to match the scale of the enterprise:

   • Small - scale operations: Semi-automatic systems with a production capacity of only a few thousand bottles per hour are suitable for start-ups and niche markets. For example, some desktop small filling machines have a capacity of 2000 - 8000 bottles per hour.
   • Medium - scale operations: Fully automatic systems with an output of 6000 - 12000 bottles per hour meet the needs of growing enterprises. Synerlink's filling equipment can cover this capacity range and can be further adjusted according to production expansion plans.
   • Large - scale operations: High-speed automatic lines can reach 60000 bottles per hour. For example, GEA's filling system can achieve this high throughput, and Qualipak's carbonated beverage filling line can also be customized to a maximum capacity of 25000 bottles per hour.
4. Customization of functional modules
   • Hygiene and aseptic modules: For dairy drinks, sensitive formulas, and other easily perishable beverages, the system can be customized with aseptic filling modules. GEA's new system is compatible with its own aseptic filling platforms such as ABF and Ecospin, which can meet the filling needs of low-acid and high-acid products.
   • Intelligent control modules: Some high-end systems can be equipped with AI-assisted interfaces and digital control systems. GEA's filling equipment is equipped with an AI-assisted interface to provide real-time production data monitoring. Palmer's filling system is equipped with a PLC control system, which is easy to operate and helps operators get started quickly.
   • Extended production modules: The system can be integrated with upstream and downstream equipment such as water treatment, bottle blowing, labeling, and palletizing. For example, KLD Machinery's customized lines can integrate processes from water filtration to final packaging, forming a complete production chain.
