Common questions about bottling lines and Modern Machinery.
General 5
What is included in a complete bottling line?
A complete line can include water treatment, bottle blowing, air conveyor, rinsing, filling, capping, inspection, labelling, shrink packing, carton packing, conveying and palletizing.
How do I choose between gravity filling, hot filling and isobaric filling?
Gravity is for still water. Hot filling uses recirculation for juices. Isobaric filling is mandatory for carbonated drinks and beer to prevent gas loss.
Can Modern Machinery plan a line layout for my bottle size and capacity?
Yes. Modern Machinery provides customized 2D and 3D plant layout planning tailored to facility dimensions, container type and target BPH.
What information should I prepare before requesting a quote?
Please prepare your liquid type, packaging vessel, expected BPH, bottle or can size, factory dimensions and local voltage standard.
Can the line be upgraded later when output increases?
Yes. Modular line planning allows future upstream and downstream upgrades.
Quotation & Inquiry 4
What happens after I submit the inquiry form?
A project engineer reviews your requirements and replies within one working day with initial questions, machine scope suggestions and next steps for project discussion.
Can I talk to an engineer directly?
Yes. After the initial email exchange, a project engineer can connect by WhatsApp, phone or video meeting to discuss machine scope, layout and project details.
Do you provide plant layout and machine list before ordering?
Yes. After confirming product, container, capacity and factory dimensions, Modern Machinery can prepare a preliminary layout direction, machine list and budget range for purchasing review.
Can I visit the factory or see a running line?
Factory visits are welcome. Running line videos and project case references are also available to help you evaluate machine quality and project execution before visiting.
CSD Filling Machines 5
What is the difference between isobaric and gravity filling?
Isobaric filling pressurizes the bottle to match the filler bowl pressure before filling, which prevents CO2 breakout and foaming. Gravity filling cannot handle carbonated products because the pressure drop causes the CO2 to escape violently.
Can one machine fill both PET and glass bottles?
Some models support quick changeover between PET and glass, but the neck-handling system and capping heads need to be configured for both. We recommend specifying your bottle types upfront so we can supply the right change parts.
What is the typical lead time for a CSD line?
Standard configurations ship in 45-60 days. Custom or high-capacity lines may take 75-90 days for manufacturing plus 15-30 days for sea freight depending on the destination port.
Do you provide installation and training?
Yes, our engineers travel to your site for mechanical installation, electrical commissioning, operator training, and production trial runs. We also offer remote video support for ongoing troubleshooting.
What about spare parts availability?
We maintain a comprehensive spare parts inventory and ship express worldwide. Each machine comes with a recommended 12-month spare parts list, and we can also prepare custom spare parts packages based on your production volume.
Glass Bottle Filling 4
Can this machine fill carbonated drinks into glass bottles?
Yes. It is designed for carbonated soft drinks such as soda, cola and sparkling beverages in glass bottles, using pressure filling technology.
What information is needed for a glass bottle filling machine quote?
Provide bottle volume, bottle diameter, bottle height, cap type, target output, beverage type, voltage and whether you need upstream washing or downstream packing.
Is glass bottle filling different from PET bottle filling?
Yes. Glass bottles are heavier and often require different bottle handling, guide rails, cap options and infeed/outfeed protection.
Can this machine be part of a complete carbonated drink line?
Yes. It can be integrated with water treatment, syrup mixing, carbonation, bottle washing, labeling, packing and conveying systems.
Projects & Cases 4
Can this line run multiple bottle sizes?
Yes. The final configuration depends on bottle drawings, cap size, label type and required changeover speed. Change parts are available for different bottle formats.
Does the customer need bottle blowing in the same line?
For PET water projects, integrating bottle blowing can reduce bottle logistics and improve line flow when factory space allows it.
What should be prepared before installation?
Factory floor plan, power supply, compressed air, water treatment interface, drainage and operator access should be confirmed before shipment.
Can Modern Machinery provide a similar layout?
Yes. A similar project plan can be prepared after the buyer shares product type, bottle size, target capacity and factory dimensions.
Videos & FAT 3
Can I get a FAT video for my own bottle and product?
Yes. After confirming bottle drawing, product type and target capacity, a matched machine test can be arranged and recorded before shipment.
Does the video show a filler only or a full line?
This video focuses on the filling machine. A complete line adds labeling, packing, water treatment, blending and carbonation depending on the project.
What capacity does this machine support?
The test reference is 8,000-12,000 BPH; the final speed depends on bottle size, cap type and product.
Company & Service 4
Why choose Modern Machinery as a filling machine supplier?
Modern Machinery combines filling machine manufacturing, customized line configuration, factory capability, quality control, service response, warranty and project support for international buyers.
Can Modern Machinery provide a customized bottling line solution?
Yes. The company can plan solutions based on liquid type, bottle or can format, target capacity, factory layout and packing requirements.
What quality support is available before shipment?
Quality support can include manufacturing inspection, machine running test, FAT records, photos, videos and shipment checks.
What after-sales service is provided?
Service can include installation support, maintenance guidance, spare parts support, timely response and warranty service depending on project scope.
