Benefits of Beer Bottling Machine

 

Consistency
Filling containers manually may result in inconsistent product quantities inside. When bottling, the quantities must be accurate because the liquid should not be filled to the brim when shipped. Measuring instruments can be helpful, but using them can slow down production. Beer filling machines ensure that each bottle is filled with the same amount of product with minimal to no error. Their duty cycle is to precisely dispense each product based on volume, weight, level and other input measurements.

Increase production speed
Beer filling machines are capable of filling multiple containers. The speed depends on the filling head of the machine and the viscosity of the liquid. On average, a machine with 16 filling heads can reach a speed of 120 bottles per minute and can complete thousands of bottles per day.

Simple operating system
Beer filling machines may seem difficult to operate at first, but they come with operating systems that can be easily learned over time. Some bottling machines often only require simple adjustments to change from one bottle to another. Other models are equipped with a rotary filler for simpler automatic operation. Filling machines have input settings such as index time, fill time and pump speed.

Long-term use
Beer filling machines are designed to last longer without wear and tear. This ensures that you can keep your business running longer. With proper monthly maintenance checks and some workers involved in the process, you can save on daily expenses of time and energy.

Filling versatility
Beer filling machines don't just bottle the same product in the same type of container. By adjusting the settings, these bottling machines can fill any type of product in any specific size. These machines are capable of filling both thick and thin liquids, which benefits businesses looking for this industrial versatility feature for multiple production lines.

Scalable
When production needs more help as your business grows, beer filling machines can be upgraded without replacing the machine. Most beer filling machines start with four to six filling heads, depending on the model. This can be added over time. Some models have up to 16 filling heads.

 

 
Types of Beer Bottling Machine
 
01/

Counter-Pressure Beer Filling Machines
Counter-pressure beer filling machines are commonly used in larger breweries and bottling facilities. They employ a pressurized filling process that minimizes oxidation and ensures consistent carbonation levels. These machines work by first purging the container with CO2, then pressurizing it to match the pressure in the beer storage tank. The beer is then gently forced into the container, maintaining its carbonation and quality.

02/

Isobaric Beer Filling Machines
Isobaric beer filling machines are similar to counter-pressure fillers but operate on a continuous basis. They are designed to fill bottles or cans without interrupting the flow of beer. This type of machine maintains a constant pressure during the filling process, allowing for faster production rates. Isobaric filling machines are often used in high-speed bottling lines, offering efficiency and precision.

03/

Vacuum Beer Filling Machines
Vacuum beer filling machines utilize a vacuum system to fill bottles or cans with beer. These machines work by creating a vacuum inside the container, causing the liquid to be drawn in. Vacuum filling machines are particularly suitable for filling glass bottles with foamy or carbonated beers, as they minimize foaming and product waste. They are commonly used in craft breweries and specialty beer production.

04/

Craft Beer Crowler Machines
Crowlers, or can-growlers, have gained popularity in the craft beer industry. Crowler machines are designed to fill 32-ounce or 64-ounce aluminum cans directly at the point of sale. These compact and portable machines offer convenience and flexibility for smaller breweries, taprooms, and brewpubs, allowing customers to take fresh beer home in a sealed can.

 

Components of Beer Bottling Machine

 

 

Bottle Feeding Mechanism
The bottle feeding mechanism is the very first stage in the filling process. The bottles are manually put into the inlet of the feeding mechanism. Then, the turntable rotates under the drive of motor, enabling the bottles to enter the conveyor belt in a orderly and automatic manner. Depending on filling head number, there are different types of bottle feeders to choose from.

Conveyor Belt
Chances are you've seen a conveyor belt on your liquid filling machine. However, few people are aware how important it is. Conveyor belts are used to carrying containers throughout the entire filling line.In addition, the speed and size of a conveyor belt can be adjusted based on certain demand. With it, your filling process can be more efficient and productive.

Filling Nozzle
For an automatic liquid filling machine, the filling nozzle is a must have. Literally, the filling nozzle is the actual tool for filling the liquid. However,it's not just a tool. It controls the direction of liquid flow as well as the accuracy of filling. For your successful filling, it plays a decisive role.

Peristaltic Pump
As an essential component of liquid filling machines, the peristaltic pump uses silicone hoses to pump liquid. It features high accuracy and great stability. When the rollers starts running, the hose is squeezed. Along the hose, the liquid product will be carried from one end to the other.

Capping Mechanism
Normally, the capping mechanism is placed at the end of the liquid filling machine. Once the container is filled, it will be transported to the capping mechanism by the conveyor belt. After capping, the container moves to the next unit, ready for packaging and labeling.

 

Working principle of Beer filling machine
 

To lower the oxygen level in the bottles, they are first taken out of the pallet packaging and properly cleansed with filtered water, oxygen, or air.

 

The next step is to pour beer into bottles, how many bottles a beer filling machine can fill in an hour relies entirely on its capacity and speed. At this stage, beer and a small number of inert gases are poured into bottles.

 

The third stage is capping beer bottles that have previously been filled, the beer filling equipment has an impact on the capping process as well. Here, a cork or cap is used to shut the filled bottles.

 

The labeling of beer is the next stage. This procedure assists in labeling the filled beer bottles and guarantees that the expiration and manufacturing dates are noted on bottles. The beer bottles are finally placed in cartons or crates for transport to the market or retailer.

 

How to Choose Beer Bottling Machine

Filling Speed
Filling speed is an important factor to consider when choosing beer filling equipment. Counter pressure fillers are typically the fastest, followed by isobaric fillers, gravity fillers, and piston fillers.

Filling Accuracy
Filling accuracy is another important factor to consider. Counter pressure fillers and isobaric fillers are typically the most accurate, followed by gravity fillers and piston fillers.

Container Size And Shape
The size and shape of your containers will also impact your choice of beer filling equipment. Some equipment is designed specifically for bottles, while others are designed for cans. Make sure the equipment you choose is compatible with your container size and shape.

Compatibility With Your Brewery's Other Equipment
Make sure the beer filling equipment you choose is compatible with the other equipment in your brewery. This includes your kegging equipment, bottling line, and labeling machine.

Cost And Maintenance
Finally, consider the cost and maintenance requirements of the equipment. Counter pressure fillers and isobaric fillers are typically more expensive than gravity fillers and piston fillers. Additionally, consider the maintenance requirements of the equipment and whether you have the necessary resources and expertise to maintain it.

 

Beer Bottling Machine Features
 

The beer filling machine uses high-quality stainless steel square tube frame and stainless steel brushed plate, with compact structure, beautiful appearance and novel design.

The discharge nozzle is designed with anti-drip design, high filling accuracy and accurate measurement.

When the beer filling machine is filling, the liquid flows down the bottle wall in an umbrella shape, which effectively avoids foam caused by liquid impact during filling and prevents liquid from overflowing.

The beer filling machine adopts PLC system control, the filling process is stable and reliable, and is equipped with overload and emergency stop protection.

The beer filling machine PLC intelligently controls the filling volume, with precise and stable control, and convenient and quick adjustment.

This machine has a large filling range, the filling volume can be adjusted within a certain range, and it can be customized if it exceeds the range.

The beer filling machine adopts electric and gas phase coordinated control to operate fully automatically, which greatly improves the stability of the machine's operation.

The filling valve of the beer filling machine is easy to disassemble and clean.

 

 
Process of Beer Bottling Machine
1. Depalletizing

Depalletizing is the first stage in the bottling of beer, and it entails removing the bottle from the pallet. Afterward, the bottles will be rinsed with filtered water, oxygen, or air to help in limiting the oxygen level in the bottles. For the next steps, conveyors can be used in bottling lines.

2. Filling of Beer in bottles

The filling of beer into bottles is the second stage of the process. It has to do with refilling beer into bottles. However, some machines can accommodate little amounts of bottles while some can contain more. The filling speed also differs.

3. Capping

Another process in the bottling of beer is the capping stage. In this stage, the previously filled bottles are capped and sealed through the capping machine.The method involved is determined by the type of filler. When the filler possesses a high level of speed and a large number of bottle capacity, then the capping system will have the same potential. Nevertheless, some beer fillers seal with a cork while others can feel with a bottle cage.

4. Labeling

This part is the last stage in the beer bottling process. In the labeling section, the sealed bottles of beer are passed through the labeling machine, known as the labeler.In this stage, special attention is required because manufacturing and expiring dates are included. And has been a requirement for every manufacturer following the standard of the state or health organization. The reason for this is to protect the citizens or customers from taking expired items.

 

How to Clean and Maintain Beer Cans

 

Disassembling the lower assembly
First, you'll need to to remove the top pin in the lower lifter assembly near the base of the handle, then pull out the pin from the linkage.

Cleaning the shaft and chuck assembly
With the e-clip removed, pull the shaft and chuck assembly out of the machine. Depending on how much you use your machine, there may be quite a bit of sticky residue left over on the shaft. Wash away the residue with warm water and a rag.

Cleaning the lower housing
Using your rag soaked in warm water, clean the lower housing on the back of the machine, including in the board hole that the shaft slides through. Failure to remove any sticky residue from these parts can cause the lifting mechanism to jam. Fortunately, it cleans up easily with warm water.While you're cleaning this part of the machine, be sure to clean the linkages and the handle as well. For these metal parts in particular, we advise using your dry rag to dry them off and prevent corrosion.

Lubricating the beer canning machine
Apply a thin layer of your food-safe grease on all your metal components, to prevent them from sticking and protect them from corrosion.At this stage, you should also apply grease to the lifter shaft before you reassemble it back onto the seamer. Then, replace the pin back into the linkages and clip on the e-clip to put the back assembly into place.

Cleaning the rollers
Using your warm water and wet rag, clean any sticky beer residue from the rollers on the front of the machine. You'll also want to wipe down their housings, and the sheet metal surfaces around them.Once the rollers are clean, dry them off with your cloth. Apply a thin layer of food-safe grease to all the steel surfaces, including the rollers and their housing. This will protect your machine from corrosion.

Cleaning the lower chuck
Inside the lower chuck on your tabletop beer canning machine, there is a wave spring and a set of washers. These need to be pulled out, washed, and greased regularly to stay in working condition.Once the wave spring assembly is cleaned, add a few drops of grease to the lower chuck bearing.

FAQ

 

Q: How does a beer bottling machine work?

A: Through a conveyor, the bottles are moved under some filling valves that inject the liquid into them; sometimes, especially in beer processing, the filling machine also distributes a little amount of inert gas at the end of each filling, in order to scatter the oxygen from the top of the bottle to avoid the oxidation .

Q: What is a bottling machine?

A: A bottling machine performs one or more of the processes required to fill a bottle and prepare the bottle and its contents for commercial sale. Some of the more common processes bottling machines perform are filling bottles, capping bottles, and labeling bottles.After depalletization, the bottles are loaded into the beer bottling machine. At this stage, the bottles are filled with beer and then some amount of inert gases. Beer bottling also involves the capping process whereby the already filled bottles are run through a capping machine that seals them with the cap.

Q: How do bottle filling machines work?

A: The liquid filling machine works when the pressure is high. This can be classified as liquid pressure filling, which means the liquid flows into the bottle based on its own weight when the amount of pressure of the liquid reservoir is equal to the amount of air present in the bottle.

Q: How long should beer sit before bottling?

A: This is why many brewers give beer at least two weeks before bottling, but sooner than 2 weeks is ideal for hoppy beers and wheat beers, which are brewed to be drank quickly. You won't get to take full advantage of the clean up phase, but highly hopped beers begin to lose characteristics quickly.

Q: How long does beer last in a beer machine?

A: Keg beer will remain fresh if dispensing with CO2 while maintaining the proper temperature and pressure: For non-pasteurized draft beer, about 45-60 days. For pasteurized draft beer, about 90-120 days. NOTE: When dispensing keg beer with a party pump (air), any draft beer will remain fresh for no more than 8-12 hours.

Q: Why is it called bottling?

A: In cockney rhyming slang, "bottle" means "arse" (bottle and glass). Originally, you would "lose your bottle" - i.e. be so scared as to lose control of your bowel function. This has been shortened down to just "bottle it".

Q: How important is bottling process?

A: Therefore, it is a decisive process, the final step before the product reaches the final consumer. If it goes wrong, all the previous work may be wasted. On the contrary, an appropriate bottling process guarantees quality in the evolution of the wine while it remains in the bottle.

Q: What is the first step in bottling beer?

A: Step 1: The first step in bottling beer at home is to verify that your primary or secondary fermentation is complete by checking the specific gravity two or three days apart. If the reading is the same on both days it is safe to bottle, otherwise you should wait until you get the same reading.

Q: Do you stir beer before bottling?

A: Don't stir up the brew before bottling, you'll only end up with all the bottles being incredibly yeasty. The sediment will settle out in the bottle though, it may take longer with the ones that have more in them, but it will still get there.

Q: What is the cheapest way to bottle beer?

A: The cheapest option is reusing plastic fizzy drink bottles. They come in a range of sizes, are designed for carbonated beverages and the labels are easy to remove. The downside is that they are often clear, leaving your beer at risk of exposure to sunlight that reacts with hop compounds in the beer.

Q: What are the types of bottle filling machines?

A: They can be of manual, semi, or fully automatic types. With advanced technology, automatic liquid bottle filling machines are capable of giving maximum productivity and are durable for a longer period. Variable speed and height-adjustable nozzles make it suitable for a different type of bottles.

Q: How do you know when beer is done brewing?

A: The most accurate way to monitor the fermentation process is to use a brewing hydrometer. Taking specific gravity measurements with a brewing hydrometer not only lets one know when fermentation has finished, it also allows one to determine actual alcohol by volume (ABV) of the fermented product.

Q: How much electricity does a beer machine use?

A: THE SUB uses an average of 10 Watts in a "steady state." This means the home temperature is 20-22°C, the SUB Keg is pre-chilled to 2°C, and THE SUB is not pouring. It is comparable to an unopened refrigerator. 10 Watts is the same as a usage of 0,010 kWh per hour.When Do I Get to Drink My Beer? After you bottle the beer, give it at least two weeks before drinking it. The yeast needs a few days to actually consume the sugar, and then a little more time is needed for the beer to absorb the carbon dioxide. (Read this post to learn about the science behind carbonation.)

Q: How do you store beer after bottling?

A: DO NOT put them in the fridge after three days. You'll want to store the newly bottled beer at around 70 degrees for a few weeks. Since you are bottle conditioning, the yeast will need time to carbonate the beer.Through the soft support mechanism, the empty bottle is taken up and the bottle mouth is opened automatically after contact with the filling valve. The bottle is filled and the bottle is automatically pulled out into the bottle line. The whole process is finished.

Q: What happens if you bottle beer too late?

A: Beer, we always recommend that you bottle your beer no later than 24 days in the fermenter. You can go longer but the longer your beer sits the more chance you have to get an infection and get off-flavors in your beer.Bottle Filling and Capping Machine or bottle filler capper is commonly usage form of filling machine for filling liquid in different packaging types. Our range of filling machine can fill aqueous solution, foaming liquid, semi viscous solution products.

Q: How do you bottle homebrew?

A: Fill your bottles so as to leave about 3/4 inch of headroom at the top of your beer bottle. Cap your bottles: Carefully place your cap onto the bottle, then position the capper atop both and with equal pressure on the capper handles pull down to the side of the bottle, crimping the cap to the bottle.During bottling, wine undergoes multiple operations: pumping, filtration, filling and corking or capping. These operations are particularly conducive to the dissolution of oxygen in wines.

Q: What is the preservation of bottling?

A: How does Bottling Work? The preservative method of bottling is straightforward. The produce is heated to kill off any microbes in either a syrup, for fruits, or a brine for vegetables and then sealed to keep out new microbes and exclude oxygen.

Q: What is distillery bottling?

A: A distillery bottling is a bottling by the whisky distillery itself. We also call this 'original brand' bottling or OB. Until the 1970s, there were only 12 distillers in Scotland who released original brands.Drink bottling is the process of packaging drinks like water, soda, alcohol, or caffeinated beverages into individual containers such as bottles and cans for distribution and sale.

Q: Can you add water to beer before bottling?

A: There certainly isn't any harm on doing it at bottling. You just don't want to do it prior to bottling. Adding straight water to the beer might oxidize the beer. I'd just recommend that you boil the water for a good 15 minutes first to drive off any oxygen that's in the water.For a 1 gallon batch, combine 1 oz (2 Tablespoons) priming sugar with 1.5 cups of water. For a 5 gallon batch, combine 5 oz (2/3 cup) priming sugar with 2 cups of water.

Q: How do I choose a filling machine?

A: The characteristics of the products you will be processing, more than anything, dictate the type of filling machine you need. The right machine will fill containers efficiently and accurately, while the wrong option will jam or fail to fill containers consistently.The liquid filling machine works when the pressure is high. This can be classified as liquid pressure filling, which means the liquid flows into the bottle based on its own weight when the amount of pressure of the liquid reservoir is equal to the amount of air present in the bottle.
