Depending on their viscosity and packaging, wines and spirits have different filling requirements. Several types of liquid packaging machines can meet the packaging needs in a winery or distillery. Production line managers can choose from different types of fillers, cappers and labelers to keep the wine and spirits bottling process efficient.

Here are just a few of the many options for liquid filling and packaging machines that can be used.

Overflow fillers

Wine and spirits packaging facilities can use two types of overflow fillers: sanitary overflow fillers and tabletop overflow fillers. Both types of fillers are designed to fill low viscosity, low water content liquids, which includes most types of wines and spirits.

Sanitary fillers are suitable for systems that require frequent changes. These fillers can keep products free of contaminants throughout the filling process. This is achieved through the use of bottle cleaners that remove bacteria and particles from the bottles before filling begins.

Tabletop overflow fillers are suitable for applications that require portable equipment for tight spaces or to accommodate frequent changes in production line configuration. 

Both fillers can meet the filling requirements of most wines and spirits, and provide consistent fill levels for all types of bottles, whether glass, plastic or metal.

Other liquid packaging equipment

To meet the needs of wine and spirits packaging, many other machines are needed to complete the packaging of these products after filling:

• Capping and corking machines 
• Labeling machines 
• Case packers and sealers

The best way to ensure your facility meets all filling and packaging requirements is to choose the machines your products need to maintain maximum productivity with consistent quality.
