Various Manufacturers

• Production of bottled yogurts, including drinking yogurts and yogurt-based smoothies.
• Filling of various liquid food products such as juices, flavoured water, and other non-carbonated beverages.
• Processing and packaging of dairy alternatives and plant-based drinks.
• Suitable for operations requiring aseptic or semi-aseptic filling conditions for extended shelf life.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, bottling lines commonly offer capacities ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of bottles per hour, depending on bottle size and product viscosity.

Bottle compatibility

Units of this type are typically designed for PET bottles, often accommodating various volumes and neck finishes, such as the Ø38 opening mentioned.

Processing capabilities

Commonly includes mixing, pasteurisation (e.g., via plate heat exchanger), cooling, and holding stages for product preparation.

Filling method

Filling machines in this category often feature multiple filling heads and may support top or bottom filling to manage foaming or product characteristics.

Hygiene and sanitation

Integrated Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems are standard for tanks, pasteurisers, and filling machines, ensuring high levels of hygiene. UV treatment and ozonated water rinsing are commonly found for bottle and cap sterilisation.

Power supply

A complete line typically requires a robust three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with significant power draw for motors, heating, and cooling systems.

Cooling system

Often incorporates industrial cooling plants, such as ammonia-based systems, for efficient product and glycol cooling.

Ancillary equipment

Lines commonly include bottle unscramblers, conveyors, washing machines, capping machines, and labelling machines to complete the packaging process.

• What types of products can this bottling line process?

  This type of line is typically designed for liquid food products, including yogurts, juices, smoothies, and flavoured waters. Its configuration suggests suitability for products requiring pasteurisation and hygienic filling.

• Is this line suitable for aseptic filling?

• What utility connections are typically required?

• Can the line handle different bottle sizes?

• What maintenance is typically involved with a complete bottling line?

Yogurt processing equipment typically earns respect for reliability and longevity when well maintained. Buyers generally prioritise stainless steel construction, proper temperature control systems, and complete cleaning capabilities. Key concerns when purchasing used units include verifying pasteurisation and fermentation consistency, checking seals and gaskets for wear, and confirming maintenance history. Industry sentiment favours equipment from established manufacturers known for durability. Capacity matching production needs and energy efficiency remain important purchasing considerations for operators seeking cost effective production scaling.
