Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 500 to 5,000 bottles per hour, depending on bottle size and fill volume.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Bottle size range

Systems are often designed to handle a range of bottle sizes, typically from 50ml up to 2 litres, with change parts required for different formats.

Filling accuracy

Volumetric or gravimetric filling systems commonly offer high accuracy, typically within +/- 0.5% to 1%.

Footprint

A complete system comprising sorting, filling, and capping can require a significant operational footprint, typically ranging from 5 to 15 metres in length.

Material construction

Product contact parts are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) to meet hygiene standards.
