Filling technology selection
Gravity Filling Machine Application Guide
Gravity or normal-pressure filling is a preliminary route for compatible still, low-viscosity beverages. Product foaming, viscosity, particles, fill-level control, bottle geometry and hygiene requirements can change that decision.

Gravity filling fit
Use these boundaries before discussing a model number.
Suitable for
Still, low-viscosity beverages that can fill consistently under normal-pressure conditions.
Not automatically suitable for
Carbonated, highly viscous, particulate, oxygen-sensitive or thermally constrained products without additional engineering review.
Selection status
Preliminary selection only. Final data will be defined in the technical proposal.

Inputs to confirm before configuration
- Viscosity and temperature
- Foaming and surface-tension behavior
- Particles or fibers
- Target fill level or volume tolerance
- Container venting and geometry
- Cleaning and product-change procedure

Engineering decision checks
| Decision area | What to verify | Why it changes the machine |
|---|---|---|
| Flow behavior | Viscosity, foam and venting | Affects valve behavior and fill time |
| Fill control | Level or volumetric acceptance basis | Changes measurement and verification method |
| Product change | Flush, cleaning and allergen/process separation | Changes contact-path design and downtime |
Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
What can make a still beverage unsuitable for simple gravity filling?
High viscosity, particles, foaming, oxygen sensitivity, difficult venting or a demanding fill-control requirement can require another valve or filling approach.
