Filling technology selection
Beverage Filling Machine Selector
Use this six-step tool to organize the beverage, filling conditions, bottle or can, output and project scope. Confirmed inputs produce a preliminary process candidate; unknown, conflicting or specialized conditions produce an application-review result. You can copy the result or carry it into a project brief without entering contact details in the selector. No model, price or guaranteed output is inferred.

Describe the product and package first. Confirmed conditions produce a preliminary process candidate; unknown, conflicting or specialized conditions require application review. The tool does not select a model or calculate capacity from free text.

What the Selector Can—and Cannot—Conclude
Examples describe screening logic, not validated recipes or customer projects. Confirm the actual product and package before choosing equipment.
| Confirmed inputs | Screening outcome | Still requires confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Still, free-flowing beverage; cold or ambient filling | Normal-pressure candidate | Preservation/hygiene process, valve design, fill measurement and package handling |
| Carbonated, free-flowing beverage; cold or ambient filling | Counter-pressure candidate | CO2, temperature, supply conditions, pressure duty and venting/foam acceptance |
| Still, free-flowing beverage; confirmed hot-fill process | Hot-fill-compatible process candidate | Validated thermal sequence, filling mechanism, heat-resistant package and cooling |
| Unknown conditions, conflicting entries, viscous/particulate or dairy/plant-based product | Application review required | Resolve product properties and preservation/process requirements before selecting a standard model |
Machine selection and configuration
Turn the Result into a Comparable Machine Inquiry
- Include product/process information and the operating temperature—not only a beverage name.
- Attach actual bottle and closure drawings or state which drawings remain unavailable.
- Keep the output unit explicit: bottles/hour, bottles/day and litres/hour mean different things.
- For a daily target, supply scheduled hours and one defined loss allowance before comparing machine BPH.
- List retained equipment, SKU changes and acceptance conditions so the quotation has a clear boundary.
- Use Copy Result or Use in Project Brief; the selector itself sends no inquiry. Add a reply channel only when you choose to submit the brief.

Calculate BPH from daily demand
Use the capacity calculator when your requirement is stated as daily bottles. Do not infer hourly machine speed from a free-text number.
Calculate BPH from daily demandCompare actual catalog models
After confirming the beverage and package, compare XGF water, RXGF juice/tea and DXGF carbonated references with their stated conditions.
Compare actual catalog modelsReview linear versus rotary
Compare net shift output, format changes and integration. There is no universal BPH threshold that chooses the arrangement.
Review linear versus rotaryCatalog equipment evidence
Match the Beverage to a Visible Machine Family
Use the selector inputs to screen the filling route, then confirm whether the XGF, RXGF, DXGF or another reviewed platform fits the actual product and package.

-
Beverage Filling Machines
Compare filling machine families by beverage behavior, filling basis, package handling and the interfaces required around the filler.
-
Filling Technology Comparison
Compare gravity, hot-fill and isobaric routes against the same product, package, acceptance and cleaning facts.

Filling Machine Technical Specification Checklist
Create one controlled specification covering duty, formats, output, interfaces, utilities, materials, controls, tests, documents and exclusions.
-
Filling Machine Selector
Generate a preliminary technology route from beverage, process, package and output inputs, then verify open assumptions with an engineer.
-
Request a Filling Machine Recommendation
Send a structured machine brief with the known product, package, output, site and project facts, while marking unknowns openly.
Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the selector result an engineering approval?
No. It is a preliminary route that identifies likely configuration, missing facts and risks to carry into an engineering review.
Why does the selector sometimes ask for application review instead of naming a machine?
Unknown, conflicting or specialized product conditions do not support a reliable standard-machine choice. The review result identifies open decisions without pretending that a default gravity or hot-fill configuration is confirmed. The submitted process data and package trials determine the next step.
