Whether the product needs to be stored at room temperature / refrigerated, whether it needs to be sterile (UHT/sterile filling), whether it is carbonated, viscosity / particulates, whether there is a requirement for heating during filling, target packaging form and production capacity.
Paper boxes (Reylo type/Tetra Pak), PET/HDPE bottles (blow molding + filling + cap sealing), glass bottles, aluminum cans, cups/bowls, bagged / spouted pouches and Bag-in-Box.
Homogenizer / separator / pasteurization / ultra-high temperature (UHT) sterilizer, sterile / room temperature filling machines, hot filling machines, metering pumps and reciprocating / plunger / gravity / rotary valve filling machines, blow molding machines, rotary / linear filling and capping combination machines, automatic box sealing / labeling / shrink wrapping, CIP system.
homogenization and pasteurization (HTST or UHT), aseptic filling (for room temperature milk), cold chain management (fresh milk); microbial contamination control.
Carton (long-term preservation/room temperature): UHT treatment + aseptic carton filling machine (Tetra Pak/Reylo aseptic line); requires an aseptic pre-sterilization system (H2O2 or heat) and an aseptic environment.
PET/HDPE bottle (refrigerated or short-term preservation): homogenization + pasteurization followed by cooling → rotary or straight-line bottle washing - filling - capping machine (monoblock) + labeling. PET bottles require a blow molding machine (SBS/IB) or purchased bottles.
filling - sealing machine (hot sealing or welding) + shrink/labeling. Thick liquids are metered by piston/needle pumps.
dairy homogenizer, heat exchanger (pasteurization/HTST/UHT), aseptic valves and pipelines, CIP system, cold chain/cooling storage.

microbial control (pasteurization/sterile filtration), degassing/defoaming, oxidation control (nitrogen replacement), concentration-reduction process.
Hot filling PET bottles/bottles/glass bottles/cartons: hot filling machine + shrink tunnel (forming) + cooling; for juice, need degassing and nitrogen filling/stripping steps.
Aseptic room temperature carton: UHT + aseptic carton filling line.
Room temperature bottled: aseptic filling machine (aseptic rotary/inline) or non-aseptic cold chain filling (gravity filler/piston filler) depending on the preservation method.
use large-diameter filling valves or piston pumps to avoid clogging; special feeding is required if containing particles or fruit residues.
degassing machine, vacuum/negative pressure defoaming, nitrogen replacement system, microfiltration/ultrafiltration system.
Contact Experts for Juice Solutions
flavor retention, color and oxidation control, special feeding required if containing particles or fruit residues. Cold chain or room temperature depending on the formula.
similar to juice: PET/bottles/glass bottles/cup. Use piston filling for thick liquids, vibration anti-bubbling device, bottle bottom stirring (if needed).
Choose suitable heat-resistant packaging materials for high-temperature sterilization or hot filling.
PET/HDPE Bottling: Blow molding machine (SBS or ISBM) → Bottle washing machine → Filling machine (rotary or linear: gravity/ negative pressure/ isobaric/ piston) → Capning machine/Sealing machine → Labeling/Contraction → Weight inspection/Metal detection → Packaging.
Glass Bottling: Bottle washing → Filling (rotary) → Cap or Sealing → The processes before and after washing are the same as above. The speed of glass bottle line is usually lower than PET.
Aluminum Bottling: Mold making/Loading into bottle → Filling (isobaric/nitrogen filling) → Sealing machine → Pasteurization or sterilization (if necessary) → Contracting and wrapping/Boxing.
Paper Box (sterile/normal temperature): UHT or sterilization after → Sterile paper box filling and sealing machine (vertical or horizontal) → Labeling/Stamping batch number.
Soft Packaging/Nozzle Bags: FFS (form-fill-seal) nozzle bag machine or prefabricated bag filling and sealing machine.
Cup/Seal Cap: Cup supply → Filling → Seal film → Heat contraction or label application.
Must select sterile/sterilized transportation and sterile filling system (rotating sterile filling machine or hierarchical sterile system).
Requires heat-resistant materials and hot filling equipment, as well as the rear heat shrink/cooling section.
Commonly use closed pasteurization post-cooling, and adopt cold chain filling (gravity/constant pressure/piston).
