Bottling equipment draws a measured quantity of your drink, food, or formulation from a holding tank and fills it into bottles. These bottles usually need to be checked, capped, labeled, and sealed for distribution. Bottling solutions differ in product metering system, sterilization level, and bottle type and sealing system depending on your production scale and product format and regulations. Bottling systems are utilized in a variety of industries. For example, in the food and beverage industry as well as in cosmetics and pharma.

Bottling

A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.

Industrial washers use solvents and cleaning agents with mechanical action to remove deposits and residues from stainless steel machinery components, empty containers, and other soiled surfaces. The selection of an industrial or commercial washer depends on the type of items and surfaces to be cleaned, the type of deposits/residue that is typically present, whether drying is required after rinsing and the level of sterilization necessary. Manufacturers will have cleaning specifications and as a result, require washers to be engineered to meet these specs.
