Key features

Built around pressure, temperature and carbonation.

Each point connects a measurable beverage or bottle condition to filling stability and finished-pack quality.

  1. Stainless-steel beverage preparation and blending tanks for carbonated drink pre-mixing
    01

    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.

  2. Automatic PET preform heating and bottle blow-moulding machine
    02

    Automatic blowing machine

    We design the ideal bottle for each customer. Stable blow molding performance is decisive for shaping good bottles consistently.

  3. PLANET counter-pressure filling valves and blue PET bottle-neck supports
    03

    Stable filling control

    Stable automatic filling control with high-quality filling valves. Electrical components from Siemens and Schneider, pneumatics from Festo, SMC and Airtac, and bearings from SKF and NSK keep machine performance stable.

  4. PLANET automatic bottle labeling machine with an enclosed labeling mechanism and conveyor
    04

    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.

  5. Automatic shrink-wrapping machine for finished PET beverage bottle packs
    05

    Secondary package

    Beyond the standard shrink wrapper, we also provide case packing machines, half-tray shrink wrapping and other packaging solutions.

  6. Automatic palletizer arranging finished bottled beverage packs inside a factory
    06

    Palletizer

    Palletizer configurations are matched to the required capacity and customized project needs.

Model selection

Compare the filler by published dimensions.

Published DCGF specifications for PET carbonated beverages. Confirm the bottle volume, recipe, CO₂ target and filling temperature before selecting a model. Whole-line utilities and footprint are reviewed separately.

Process

Eight stages. One complete PET CSD line.

Explore the equipment, operating purpose and handoff at each stage, from process water to finished pallets.

Bottle supply runs in parallel with beverage preparation and meets it at filling. Equipment images illustrate each stage; final configuration follows the recipe, bottle and packaging requirements.

FAQ

Pressure-line decisions, clarified.

Early technical questions are collected here so the main production route stays easy to follow.

What information is needed to select the filler?

Provide the PET bottle drawing, bottle volume, target bottles per hour, beverage recipe, target CO₂ level, filling temperature, closure and pack format. These inputs determine the pressure-filling configuration and downstream balance.

Why must the bottle be reviewed for CSD?

A carbonated beverage places the PET bottle under internal pressure. The bottle drawing, preform, resin distribution, base design and closure must therefore be reviewed as one pressure package.

How are carbonation conditions selected?

The recipe owner should confirm the required CO₂ volume and sensory target. Product temperature, operating pressure and carbonation equipment are then selected together; they should not be copied from a still-water line.

Can the line start with preforms or empty bottles?

Yes. An integrated blower gives more control over bottle supply and logistics, while ready-made bottles reduce upstream machinery. In both cases the supplied bottle must be approved for the confirmed CSD pressure.

Are 6,000 and 12,000 BPH catalog ratings?

No. They are traceable references found in the supplied project footage and CAD filename. Final sustained output, footprint, power, staffing and utilities are confirmed only after the complete project scope is reviewed.
