If your drink goes into a sealed cup, a pouch or a film-formed portion pack, this is our ground. Juice, smoothies, concentrates and dosed liquids in the formats where accuracy at small volumes is what separates a line that runs from one you fight with every shift.
High-speed glass and PET bottling is a different machine class, and not one we build. We would rather tell you that now than three meetings in.
Drinks we pack
| Product | What your line has to handle |
|---|---|
| Juice in sealed cups | Thin liquid, filled accurately, with a rim clean enough to seal |
| Juice and drinks in pouches | Seals that hold their liquid load all the way to the customer |
| Smoothies and thicker drinks | Pulp and pieces kept evenly distributed through the run |
| Concentrates and syrups | Heavy product and a clean cut-off, without drips or strings |
| Portion and single-serve formats | Small fill volumes, where accuracy is hardest to hold |
What matters most here
Accuracy at your smallest pack
Thin liquid drips, splashes and keeps moving after the nozzle closes, and a small fill volume magnifies every gram of variation. Ask for the accuracy figure at your smallest pack rather than your largest, and you will learn far more about the machine.
A rim clean enough to seal
Anything that lands on the rim during filling turns into a seal failure somewhere out in distribution. With thin liquids this comes down to nozzle design and fill speed, and the difference between machines shows up in the first minutes of a trial.
Pulp that stays where it should
Juice with pulp and smoothies with fruit pieces are dosing problems as much as filling problems, and suspension changes as the hopper empties. Ask for accuracy measured late in the run.
Hot fill changes the whole line
Filling hot for shelf stability means containers that hold their shape at temperature, different seal parameters, and cooling before packing so heat does not soften the pack under stacking load. Settle it before you compare machines — specifying it in is far cheaper than adding it later.
The class that fits your container
Bought-in cups and tubs run on cup fill and seal at up to 120 cups per minute. Pouches and portion packs formed from film on the machine run on form fill and seal at 100–300 units per minute.
For glass, PET or carton bottling at volume, you want a manufacturer whose published range covers it. The machine selector is built to tell you that plainly rather than steering you to us regardless.
Have this ready
Your container, your fill volume, your daily output and whether any SKU carries pulp or is filled hot. Five minutes of preparation and the answer comes back specific instead of generic.
