Automatic RFC Isobaric Carbonated Beverage Filling Machine For Glass Bottles In Nigeria

Technogen Enterprise introduces the Automatic RFC Isobaric Carbonated Beverage Filling Machine, designed to meet the growing demand for high-speed, high-quality bottling of carbonated beverages in Nigeria’s expanding beverage industry. With its advanced isobaric filling technology, this machine ensures that your carbonated drinks retain their fizz, flavor, and quality, even during large-scale production runs.

This machine is an ideal solution for beverage companies in Nigeria, particularly in key industrial hubs such as Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, and Kaduna, where beverage manufacturing is expanding rapidly. It integrates rinsing, filling, and capping into a single monoblock system, providing an efficient, high-performance bottling line that meets international standards.

Designed to accommodate glass bottles ranging from 100 ml to 1000 ml, the system allows manufacturers to select between crown capping or ROPP aluminum capping, depending on their specific product needs and market demands.

Machine Design & Construction

The Automatic RFC Isobaric Carbonated Beverage Filling Machine is engineered with durability and hygiene as top priorities. Featuring a stainless-steel frame and food-grade product contact parts (SS304 / SS316L), the machine offers exceptional corrosion resistance and long operational life. It is built to comply with international food safety and hygiene standards.

Key Features of the Design:

• Rotary rinsing turret with neck-handling grippers for precise cleaning

• Isobaric counter-pressure filling system for maintaining carbonation

• ULTRA mechanical filling valves to ensure accurate liquid levels

• Smooth star-wheel bottle transfer system for gentle handling

• Choice of crown capping or ROPP aluminum capping for secure seals

• PLC and HMI-based automated controls for easy operation and real-time monitoring

• Protective guarding with safety interlocks for safe operation

This robust construction ensures high durability, reducing downtime and maintenance costs, and enabling continuous, efficient production.

Working Process

1. Rinsing Process

The system ensures that each bottle is thoroughly cleaned before filling. Key features of the rinsing process include:

• Neck-holding grippers for secure bottle handling

• Stainless-steel spray nozzles for effective rinsing

• Water or sterile air rinsing for contamination-free bottles

• Automatic "No Bottle – No Rinse" control to prevent unnecessary cycles

This process guarantees that every bottle entering the filling section is free from dust, particles, and other contaminants.

2. Isobaric Filling Process

The isobaric counter-pressure filling system minimizes oxygen ingress and preserves carbonation. The filling system works by:

• CO₂ pressurization to match the tank pressure

• Pre-evacuation to eliminate oxygen

• Smooth long-tube filling with minimal turbulence to prevent foam

• Controlled venting and snifting for precise filling levels

The isobaric filling method is ideal for maintaining the quality and carbonation of carbonated beverages, ensuring that each bottle meets the highest standards of quality.

3. Capping Process

After filling, the bottles are sealed with the appropriate capping system. The machine can be configured for:

• Crown Capping: Ideal for soda, beer, and aerated drinks, offering tamper-proof sealing

• ROPP Aluminum Capping: Used for premium beverages like tonic water, providing a leak-proof seal

The capping system is synchronized with the filling process to ensure that every bottle is sealed securely without damage.
