Hot Juice Filling Line
Modern Machinery provides complete juice filling lines for juice, energy drinks, and coffee. From UHT sterilization and hot-filling to labeling and packing, we deliver turnkey solutions with FAT testing and verified project cases.
What is a juice filling line
At Modern Machinery, a juice filling line is a complete production system that processes beverages from raw material preparation through UHT sterilization, hot-filling, capping, labeling, and packing. We supply standalone filling machines (monobloc) and complete turnkey juice filling lines.
For juice production, the core technology is u003cstrongu003ehot-filling at 85°Cu003c/strongu003e using gravity or micro-pressure filling methods. The 3-in-1 rinser-filler-capper monobloc integrates rinsing, filling and capping into a single automated block. Modern Machinery’s lines are engineered to handle juice, energy drinks, and coffee with stable, high-efficiency output.

Key machines in a PET bottle juice filling line
PET Bottle Blowing
Automatic PET bottle blowing machine forms hot-fill resistant bottles from preforms before filling.
UHT Sterilization
Ultra-high temperature sterilization ensures product safety and extends shelf life for juice, energy drinks, and coffee.
3-in-1 Juice Hot-Filling
Rinsing, hot-filling at 85°C and capping are integrated in the main filling block. Gravity or micro-pressure filling ensures stable and efficient production.
Bottle Cooling Tunnel
Water spray cooling gradually reduces bottle temperature after hot-filling, preventing deformation and ensuring product stability.
Air Dryer
Removes surface water before label application and inkjet coding.
Labeling
Automatic labeling machine applies OPP/PET labels at high speed.
Shrink Packing
Shrink wrapping groups finished bottles for distribution.

Rinser-filler-capper monoblock for juice hot-filling
All product contact parts and seals are designed for high-temperature operation at 85°C without deformation.
Faster and more stable filling compared to traditional methods, delivering higher output and efficiency for the same model configuration.
Proximity sensors detect each bottle. If a bottle is missing, the corresponding valve remains closed — preventing spillage and product waste.
Supports circular, square, and other bottle shapes. Works with both PET bottles (hot-fill grade) and glass bottles.
Bottle clamps and spray nozzles rinse with aseptic water before filling, ensuring product purity.
Torque-controlled capping ensures consistent seal quality and prevents leakage.
Sanitary pipelines and cleaning interfaces support efficient cleaning-in-place for product changeovers.
Air conveyor and flat conveyor connect blowing, filling, cooling, and packing seamlessly.

Frequently Asked questions
What is the filling temperature for your juice filling machine?
Our juice filling machine is designed for 85°C hot-filling. This high-temperature filling process sterilizes the product and the bottle interior simultaneously, extending shelf life without the need for chemical preservatives.
What types of products can this line handle?
This line is suitable for juice, energy drinks, and coffee (with aseptic configuration available for coffee). The gravity or micro-pressure filling system ensures stable and efficient production across different product types.
Can this machine handle both PET and glass bottles?
Yes. Our juice filling machine supports both PET bottles (hot-fill grade) and glass bottles. Different bottle shapes including circular and square are also supported.
Does the machine stop filling if there is no bottle?
Yes. The machine is equipped with proximity sensors that detect each bottle. If a bottle is missing, the corresponding filling valve remains closed — preventing spillage and product waste. This is what we call the u0022No Bottle No Fillu0022 protection system.
What is the bottle size range supported by this line?
This line supports bottles with diameter from 50 to 110 mm and height from 160 to 320 mm. Custom configurations may be available for other sizes upon request.
