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.
