Gravity Wine Fillers and Bag-in-Box Fillers: Manual and Automatic

How to choose a wine or Bag in Box filling machine

Choosing the right filling machine depends on the type of container to be filled, the working volume and the level of accuracy required. Small home production has different needs from a winery, an artisanal workshop or a more structured line.

Before purchasing, it is important to consider whether you need to fill bottles, Bag in Box pouches, demijohns, barriques or other containers, and whether you prefer a manual, semi-automatic or automatic solution.

Bag in Box filling machines

Bag in Box filling machines are designed for filling pouches for wine, juices or other food-grade liquids compatible with the chosen model.

They can be manual, semi-automatic or automatic. Manual models are suitable for limited production or less intensive use, while semi-automatic and automatic solutions are more suitable when quantity, working frequency and the need for accuracy increase.

Before purchasing, always check pouch format, capacity, filling system, liquid compatibility and any accessories required.

Gravity filling machines

Gravity filling machines are traditional solutions for filling bottles. They are suitable for small and medium-scale production and may be available with several filling spouts, depending on the model.
