PET bottles, glass bottles and cans share the beverage process, but container supply, closure and downstream handling change. Choose the closest route.
PET bottle route
PET bottle CSD line
For carbonated soft drinks, soda water and sparkling beverages in pressure-rated PET bottles, with optional in-house bottle blowing.
Published ratings will be added after container size, product condition and engineering test basis are confirmed.
Define the operating basis
Four inputs shape the line.
The proposal starts with product and package facts. Equipment models follow after these operating conditions are defined.
Carbonated drinks pre-mix
Pre-mixing standardizes the finished beverage ratio so sugar and CO₂ remain consistent from bottle to bottle. Designed for high-speed continuous production, it is the standard preparation process for carbonated drinks.
Stable filling control
Stable automatic filling control adapts flexibly to different containers, including PET bottles, glass bottles and cans.
Labeling type
Hot-melt OPP, adhesive and shrink-sleeve labeling machines cover the main label formats in the market. We can also help customers develop their label designs.
Secondary package
Beyond standard shrink wrapping, we provide case packing, half-tray shrink wrapping and other packaging solutions. Palletizer configurations are matched to the required capacity and customized project needs.
Complete line scope
One beverage process. Three package routes.
Switch formats to see where PET bottle, glass bottle and can handling diverge around the same preparation and carbonation core.
Pressure-rated PET route
Prepare the drink, hold carbonation, then protect the bottle route.
The PET line joins treated water and syrup preparation to chilling, carbonation, bottle supply, counter-pressure filling and finished-pack handling.
01Water treatmentPrepare the process water
02Syrup & blendingPrepare syrup and blend the recipe
03Cooling & carbonationChill the drink and dose CO₂
04Bottle blow moldingBlow PET bottles or supply empty bottles
05Washing, filling, cappingBottle rinsing, counter-pressure filling and capping
06Inspect & labelInspect, dry, label and code bottles
07Secondary packagingShrink-wrap or pack into cartons
08PalletizingStack finished packs and wrap pallets
Container supply runs in parallel with beverage preparation and meets it at filling. Images illustrate process stages; returnable-bottle washing and any warming or thermal treatment are configured for the project.
New or returnable glass route
Protect glass handling while holding filling pressure and product condition.
The glass route joins the common preparation and carbonation core to depalletizing, bottle inspection or washing, counter-pressure filling, crown or cap closing and protective secondary packaging.
01Water treatmentPrepare the process water
02Syrup & blendingPrepare syrup and blend the recipe
03Cooling & carbonationChill the drink and dose CO₂
04Glass bottle depalletizerDepalletize, inspect and wash or rinse
05Washing, filling, cappingCounter-pressure filling with crown or screw caps
06Inspect & labelInspect, dry, label and code bottles
07Secondary packagingProtect bottles with cartons or film packs
08PalletizingStack finished packs and wrap pallets
Container supply runs in parallel with beverage preparation and meets it at filling. Images illustrate process stages; returnable-bottle washing and any warming or thermal treatment are configured for the project.
Aluminium or tinplate can route
Keep the product condition stable through filling and seaming.
The can line uses the same product-preparation logic, then changes the container route to depalletizing, rinsing, counter-pressure filling, seaming and downstream thermal or pack handling.
01Water treatmentPrepare the process water
02Syrup & blendingPrepare syrup and blend the recipe

Define the product
What will your finished drink look like?
Start with the beverage and its package. PET bottles, glass bottles and cans each bring different requirements for container supply, closure and finished-pack handling.
Three finished-drink formats
Illustrative product concepts, not customer products. Final bottle, can, closure and recipe specifications are confirmed for your project.
Detailed specifications belong to the PET, glass bottle and can route pages after engineering confirmation.
01What information starts a CSD line proposal?
Share the beverage type and recipe status, target CO₂ level, filling temperature, container drawing, closure, nominal output, final pack and available utilities. Planet then confirms which values still require product trials or engineering review.
02How do I choose among PET bottles, glass bottles and cans?
Choose from market position, distribution, package cost, returnability and the closure route—not filler speed alone. PET can support in-house blowing, glass prioritizes stable low-impact handling and may be returnable, while cans use a defined body and end with seaming.
03Why is counter-pressure filling used?
A carbonated beverage contains dissolved CO₂. Counter-pressure filling balances pressure during transfer so the product enters the container with less foaming and gas loss. The final method depends on product temperature, carbonation and package specification.
04Does the category page publish a capacity range?
Not yet. A defensible capacity requires a test basis including package size, product temperature, carbonation level and operating conditions. The project pages will publish model data only after those fields are confirmed by engineering.
05Is bottle blowing included in a PET CSD line?
It can be. The PET route may start with preforms and an integrated blow moulder or receive formed empty bottles. Bottle design and pressure performance must be approved before the blow-and-fill scope is fixed.
06Does every can line need a pasteurizer?
No. The thermal process depends on the recipe, microbiological risk, filling condition, shelf-life target and distribution plan. Engineering should confirm whether a warmer, tunnel pasteurizer or another downstream process is required.
