The number of filling valves determines output capacity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Filling Methods<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Different products require specific <strong>filling technologies<\/strong> based on their characteristics, carbonation level, viscosity, and preservation requirements:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Gravity Filling (Slight Depression)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Gravity filling<\/strong> allows product to flow into bottles by gravitational force through a valve activated when the bottle reaches the filling station. Air escapes through a <strong>vent tube<\/strong>, and filling stops when liquid reaches the tube's lower end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After pre-evacuation, the filling valve opens and product flows gently without causing turbulence. <strong>Inert gas<\/strong> in the container returns to the tank during filling. When product level reaches the nozzle, filling stops automatically.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Ideal for:<\/em> <strong>still wine<\/strong>, <strong>liqueurs<\/strong>, spirits in glass bottles<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Vacuum (Depression) Filling<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In <strong>vacuum filling<\/strong>, the filling nozzle seals the empty container and a <strong>vacuum pump<\/strong> removes internal air. The resulting vacuum pulls liquid into the bottle until reaching the predetermined level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Ideal for:<\/em> <strong>wine and spirits<\/strong> \u2014 no aroma or alcohol content loss<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Volumetric Filling<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Volumetric filling<\/strong> precisely measures liquid volume using a <strong>magnetic flow meter<\/strong> on one filling valve. Electronics calculate the time required for the desired quantity, and all other valves operate pneumatically based on this reference timing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Ideal for:<\/em> products requiring <strong>precise volume control<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Isobaric (Counter-Pressure) Filling<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Isobaric filling machines<\/strong> maintain equal pressure between tank and bottle, essential for carbonated products.
