5–10L Large-Capacity Multi-Material Filling Production Line
Project Background
An Uzbekistan-based company specializing in edible oil bottling plans to diversify its product range in response to growing local demand for large-format bottled water and juice. However, the company faces constraints regarding factory space and budget, while its existing equipment suffers from poor precision, complex changeover processes, and high labor requirements. Consequently, there is an urgent need for an automated filling production line capable of handling oil, water, and juice across various large-bottle specifications; such a system would enable multi-product production, minimize investment costs, and facilitate rapid entry into new markets.

Project Overview
Based on the client’s workshop dimensions and product range, we provide a comprehensive turnkey solution for high-capacity filling, comprising a complete suite of equipment: bottle unscrambling, rinsing, piston filling, capping, labeling, and conveying systems.
The production line features a piston-filling main unit specifically designed for 5–10L PET bottles; by swapping out a few tooling components, the line can switch between filling edible oil, large-format mineral water, and fruit juice. The entire system undergoes assembly and integrated functional testing at our factory—including simulated runs with various products—before being disassembled and crated for export.
Upon arrival at the client’s facility, our engineers oversee on-site installation and system commissioning, while also providing hands-on training for the client’s operators and maintenance staff. Once operational, the line automates the entire process—from bottle feeding and filling to capping, conveying, and labeling—requiring only 2–3 workers on-site for inspections, material replenishment, and finished product collection, thereby effectively meeting the client’s multi-product production needs.
Project Pain Points
- The existing equipment was limited to filling edible oil; introducing new products required adding an entire production line, entailing high costs for equipment procurement and factory floor space.
- Large bottles are heavy; the old production line frequently suffered from toppling and jamming, leading to frequent downtime and low effective production time.
- Filling accuracy was inconsistent with significant margins of error, resulting in high product loss; furthermore, changeovers between bottle specifications required lengthy setup times.
- Cleaning pipelines between different products was cumbersome and prone to residue buildup, posing a risk of cross-contamination.
- Local technical staff lacked equipment maintenance experience, making it difficult to troubleshoot and repair complex machinery.
Our Solutions
- Modular Piston Filling Machine: One Line, Multiple Applications
The piston metering and filling mechanism is compatible with materials of varying viscosities, such as oil, water, and fruit juice. Switching between bottle types and products requires only replacing the filling nozzle and positioning fixture—no modifications to the main unit are needed—significantly reducing changeover and debugging time, enabling a single production line to handle multiple products. - Fully 304 Stainless Steel Piping System with CIP Capability
All components in contact with liquids are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, and the entire piping system supports CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaning. The piping can be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before switching materials, eliminating product residues and preventing cross-contamination between different products, thereby meeting food production hygiene standards. - Customized Anti-Tipping Conveyor System for Large Bottles
The conveyor line features a widened blue chain belt, additional bottle-body positioning guides, and optimized curved sections—specifically designed to prevent tipping during the conveyance of 5–10L large bottles. This reduces bottle jamming and ensures continuous production line operation. - Layout Planning Tailored to the Customer’s Facility
The layout of the entire line is planned based on the length and width of the customer’s facility, reserving ample space for maintenance and operations. Seamless transitions between workstations maximize the use of the existing workshop space, eliminating the need for large-scale facility renovations. - Comprehensive Overseas Implementation Services
Pre-commissioning of the entire machine and multi-material testing are completed domestically; equipment is packaged for export; on-site installation and commissioning are performed overseas; hands-on training is provided to customer staff on operation, daily maintenance, and basic troubleshooting; and remote technical support is provided afterward.
Project Outcomes
- Upon commissioning, the production line consistently achieves its design capacity: 800 bottles/hour for 5L bottles and a steady 600 bottles/hour for 10L bottles. A single system handles the production of edible oil, large-format bottled water, and fruit juice, eliminating the need for a second line and saving on equipment and facility investment.
- Filling volume accuracy is maintained within ±0.5%, minimizing material waste and ensuring consistent product fill levels.
- Changeovers for different bottle sizes or products take only 2–3 hours to complete, enabling flexible handling of orders involving diverse specifications and small batch sizes.
- The CIP (Clean-in-Place) system resolves pipeline residue issues; incidents of large bottles tipping over or jamming during transport are significantly reduced, thereby increasing the equipment’s effective production time.
- The client’s local team can independently operate and maintain the equipment, ensuring continuous, stable production and helping the client rapidly penetrate the local market for large-format bottled water and fruit juice.
