Compact manual semi-automatic counterpressure filler with 4 filling heads and touch display. Designed to isobaric filling carbonated or non-carbonated beverages into glass bottles. Capacity up to 600 bottles per hour (depends on foamicity of a drink).
Perfect for breweries, carbonated cider makers, lemonade producers etc.
The bottle filling machine is produced in EU from materials friendly with food – stainless steel, polyethylene, silicone.

Chemical cleaning with a CIP station is allowed.

We are an authorized sales partner of the European producer.

Material :

The filler’s filling tubes and all hoses are made of seamless AISI 316 stainless steel. The valve seals are made of FKM material. The FKM is a resilient elastomer that is well suited to valve sealing and provides good resistance to many oils and chemicals.

Optional equipment :

Optional self-cleaning set for the chemical cleaning and sanitizing :

Optional accessory for the stainless steel stand (it does not work without the stand)

LCD touch display and simple control system

The 7” waterproof touchscreen is used to set all filling parameters:

• CO2 pre-purge time
• Filling time
• Pressure

Filling routine starts automatically by just pressing a single button.

New software and hardware

Special features of the 1.2 version (2023)

• Renewed software with the possibility of fine adjustment of each filling head
• USB connector for easy software updates
• PowerCON connector for power supply

The maximum filling capacity depends on several factors such as temperature (up to 4°C, we recommend max. 2°C), pressure in the source tank (max. 1.2 bar) and level of CO2 saturation. Experience shows that 600 bottles can be filled per hour when operated by two people. Two operators are needed for filling more than 300 bottles per hour.

The machine can be completelly cleaned in under 15 minutes with an external CIP equipment or manually.

Easy to operate the bottle filler

How to fill carbonated drink to the glass bottles :

1. Lower the lever with one hand and with the other hand slide the bottle under the filling head. By releasing the lever, the bottle will be pressed into place under the filling head.
2. Press the start button of the relevant filling head. The filling will now happen automatically.
3. First, CO2 will be injected into the bottle so that rest of oxygen is pushed out from the bottle. The time and pressure of the CO2 pre-rinse is fully adjustable.
4. After the CO2 flushing, the bottle will be filled until it reaches the sensor value set on the touchscreen.
5. You can now remove the bottle and start the process again.
6. The filling speed can be regulated so that when you put the last bottle under the head, the first one is ready to be replaced to achieve of maximal possible capacity.

FFS – The Carbon Dioxide Fast Flush System

This optional version of the bottle filler is equipped with the FFS (The Carbon Dioxide Fast Flush System), this means that it is possible to open an extra valve while PRE-purging of a bottle with carbon dioxid. This way flushing out oxygen from the bottle is faster and you get better shelf life of a drink.

We recommend a version with the Fast Flush System especially to use the filling machine with bigger bottles and kegs.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How the product should be supplied to the filler ?

We recommend maintaining a pressure of 1–2 bar in the pressure product tank. A pump can also be used, but supplying pressure to the tank is preferable.

How the carbon dioxide should be supplied to the filler ?

The machine can be fitted with any type of inlet connection you require. We recommend using an adapter to 8 mm, as the hoses inside the machine are also 8 mm, keeping the connections consistent.

Is possible to use nitrogen as an inert gas instead carbondioxide ?

Yes, it is possible.

Is possible to use nitrogen as an inert gas instead carbondioxide ?

Yes, it is possible.

Is possible to use only one-two-three filling nozzles in the filling cycle while next nozzles are blended and unused ?

Yes, absolutely. Each filling head can be operated independently.

Is possible to deliver the filler with the standard nozzles and also one additional shortened set of the replaceable nozzles – with lengths of the nozzles optimalized for the filling smaller bottles ? How much is price of this additional  set ?

We can make the heads to suit the smallest bottle, and they can also be used with other bottles; the filling tube does not need to reach the bottom of the bottle. We can supply an additional set, the set of four heads in lenght of the nozzles specified by a customer (see the option of CBF4-600SH).
