Filling technology selection
Juice and Tea Filling Machines: Temperature, Pulp and PET Checks
A hot-fill route for juice or tea requires a qualified product process and a compatible bottle and cap. Check recipe, particles, viscosity and actual temperature conditions before matching an RXGF reference; the filler alone does not validate shelf life.

RXGF juice and tea filling machine model references
Catalog values use a 500 ml rating basis and list a 500-2,000 ml PET range, H170-320 mm and diameter 50-105 mm. The product recipe, validated process temperature, bottle heat resistance and cooling sequence remain part of final selection.

Solve the operating problem before selecting a model
| Problem or selection risk | What to check and record |
|---|---|
| Bottle deformation or paneling | Obtain the bottle supplier's hot-fill specification and drawings. Review filling and cooling profiles with bottle, cap and process suppliers. |
| Pulp blockage or variable filling | Document particle size distribution, concentration and viscosity at filling conditions. Request product trials; do not assume every juice fits standard valves. |
| Temperature drift during stops | Record temperatures and stop duration by batch. Agree monitoring, restart and out-of-limit product handling in the qualified process plan. |
Evidence to include in the machine inquiry
Send the product specification, particle data, process temperature requirements, PET and closure approval, cooling interface and test acceptance criteria. Keep unknown limits visible in the RFQ.
Catalog features and project configuration
What the RXGF Configuration Means for Your Project
Catalog pages 13–14 describe the RXGF references. They do not establish a universal hot-fill temperature, aseptic capability or guaranteed shelf life.
| Catalog reference | What it addresses | What the proposal must confirm |
|---|---|---|
| PET juice and tea platform | A starting family for the specified beverage | State recipe, viscosity, pulp or fibers and the validated process route before choosing a valve. |
| Air-conveyor infeed and adjustable outfeed | Bottle supply and discharge coordination | Confirm handling of the actual hot-fill bottle before and after filling. |
| PLC, inverter coordination and photoelectric status sensing | Control and line-speed coordination | Agree how temperature deviations, line stops and product restart conditions are handled. |
Make quotations comparable
Define the Equipment Supply Boundary
| Equipment block | Information to agree | Scope boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Before the filler | Recipe preparation and product condition at the inlet | Mixing, heat treatment, buffer tanks and product return need explicit scope ownership. |
| RXGF monoblock | Agreed product-contact path, PET format, filling and capping arrangement | Confirm process controls and the cleaning method for the actual recipe. |
| After capping | Any validated hold/inversion and cooling sequence | Cooling equipment, discharge temperature and bottle stability are not implied by the filler model. |

Inputs to confirm before configuration
- Product recipe, pH, viscosity and particle information
- Target fill temperature and upstream product supply condition
- Bottle material and heat-resistance confirmation
- Closure specification and headspace requirement
- Cooling or hold sequence after filling

Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
Is RXGF automatically suitable for juice with pulp?
No. Particle size, concentration, flow behavior and valve design need a product-specific compatibility review.
Does hot filling guarantee the required shelf life?
No. Shelf life also depends on the validated product process, packaging, hygiene and storage conditions.
