Stainless Steel Gravity Bottle Filler - 4 or 6 Filling Heads

The stainless steel gravity bottle filler is designed for filling bottles and compatible containers with food-grade liquids such as wine, oil, beer and fruit juices. It is available with 4 or 6 filling heads, allowing wineries, agricultural producers and food-processing businesses to select a configuration suited to their production requirements.

The machine operates by gravity: liquid flows from the stainless steel tank through the filling heads into the bottles. The standard configuration is supplied without a pump or float, allowing the filling system to be configured according to the liquid, production layout and level-control requirements.

The 4-head model has a 45 L tank and an indicative capacity of 670 L/h. The 6-head version increases tank capacity to 66 L and reaches approximately 980 L/h.

Why choose this gravity bottle filling machine?

• Gravity filling system: liquid passes from the tank to the bottles through the filling heads.
• Two configurations: choose between 4 and 6 filling heads according to the required production capacity.
• Stainless steel construction: designed for filling compatible food-grade liquids.
• Adaptable filling setup: optional pumps, level-control systems and alternative nozzles are available.
• Different bottle formats: optional gaskets and filling heads allow the machine to be adapted to specific container openings.
• Adjustable bottle support: the tilting stainless steel tray supports bottles during filling.
• Application-specific accessories: optional equipment is available for viscous liquids, hot filling, foam control and connection to pasteurisation systems.

4-head vs 6-head gravity bottle filler

Both versions use the same gravity-filling principle. The main differences are the number of filling heads, tank capacity and indicative hourly output.

The stated output figures are indicative. Actual performance depends on the liquid, container characteristics and filling conditions.

4-head gravity filler

The 4-head model has a 45 L tank and an indicative hourly output of 670 L. Its compact configuration is suitable for producers looking for a gravity filling machine for smaller bottling operations.

6-head gravity filler

The 6-head model has a 66 L tank and an indicative hourly output of 980 L. It provides additional filling positions and greater tank capacity for operations requiring higher production volumes.

When choosing between the two models, consider your expected filling volume, bottle format, available workspace and whether additional accessories are required.

Which liquids can this gravity filler handle?

The machine can be configured for different food-grade liquids. The appropriate filling heads and accessories depend on product viscosity, filling temperature and container characteristics.

Wine filling

The standard gravity system is suitable for filling wine bottles with compatible liquids. Optional pumps, mechanical or electronic floats and nitrogen injection equipment can be considered according to the bottling process.

Olive oil and other viscous liquids

For olive oil and other compatible liquids with higher viscosity, optional Ø17 mm filling nozzles are available.

The appropriate configuration should be selected according to the viscosity of the product and the container to be filled.

Beer filling

The machine can be configured for compatible beer-filling applications. An optional anti-foam valve is available to help manage foam during filling.

This is a gravity filler, not an isobaric filling machine. For carbonated beer requiring pressure-controlled bottling, a dedicated isobaric system should be considered.

Fruit juices and hot liquids

For compatible fruit juices and hot-filling applications, an optional kit with a thermometer and anti-condensation lid is available.

The filling temperature and required configuration should be checked for the specific product and process before ordering.

Optional equipment and accessories

The gravity filler can be configured with additional components according to the production process. Optional accessories are not included in the standard machine unless selected separately.

Pumps and liquid level control

• Stainless steel mechanical float: optional system for controlling the liquid level.
• Electronic float: optional level-control system with provision for connecting an external pump.
• Stainless steel rubber-impeller electric pump: optional liquid transfer solution.
• Stainless steel centrifugal electric pump: alternative optional pumping system.
• Liquid inlet solenoid valve: to be combined with the electronic float only.

Alternative filling heads and bottle accessories

• Ø17 mm filling heads: for compatible viscous liquids, including oil.
• Ø11 mm filling heads: alternative nozzle configuration.
• Oversized conical gaskets: for container openings with an internal diameter between 27 and 40 mm.
• Flat gaskets: for flush-filling applications.
• Non-rigid PVC container kit: for filling compatible flexible PVC containers.

Accessories for specific filling processes

• Beer anti-foam valve: optional accessory for beer-filling applications.
• Manual nitrogen injection valve: for introducing nitrogen into the bottle before filling.
• Hot-liquid filling kit: includes a thermometer and anti-condensation lid.
• 20-plate sheet filter: optional filtration equipment.
• Three-way pneumatic inlet solenoid valve: for connection to a pasteurisation system; requires the electronic float.

A dedicated ATEX kit with float and pump is also listed among the available special configurations. Suitability and compliance for the intended product and operating environment must be confirmed for the complete machine configuration before ordering. The standard filler should not be assumed to be ATEX-certified.

How to choose the right configuration

Before purchasing, consider the following factors:

1. Liquid type: identify whether you will be filling wine, oil, beer, juice or another compatible food-grade liquid.
2. Required output: compare the indicative capacities of the 4-head and 6-head models.
3. Bottle opening: check the internal neck diameter and whether special nozzles or gaskets are needed.
4. Product viscosity: consider the optional Ø17 mm nozzles for oil and other compatible viscous liquids.
5. Filling temperature: determine whether the hot-liquid kit is required.
6. Liquid supply: assess whether a pump and mechanical or electronic level-control system are needed for your installation.

Choosing these components before ordering helps ensure that the filling machine is configured for the intended product and container.

Frequently asked questions

What is a gravity bottle filler?

A gravity bottle filler transfers liquid from a tank into bottles through filling heads, using gravity as the filling principle. This model is designed for compatible food-grade liquids and is available with four or six filling heads.

Is a pump included with the machine?

No. The standard configuration is supplied without a pump and without a float. Optional pumping and level-control systems can be selected according to the installation requirements.

What is the difference between the 4-head and 6-head models?

The 4-head version has a 45 L tank and an indicative output of 670 L/h. The 6-head version has a 66 L tank and an indicative output of 980 L/h.

Can this machine fill olive oil?

Yes, the machine can be configured for oil filling. Optional Ø17 mm filling heads are available for compatible viscous liquids. The appropriate configuration should be selected according to the product and container.

Can it fill hot fruit juice?

A hot-liquid filling kit is available, consisting of a thermometer and an anti-condensation lid. The suitability of the machine and accessories must be checked against the intended filling temperature and process.

Can it fill carbonated beer?

This machine uses gravity filling and is not an isobaric filler. If the bottling process requires pressure control for carbonated beverages, select equipment specifically designed for that application.
