  • Used Filling and Packaging Lines: Inspection and Relocation Checklist

    A used filling or packaging line changes risk at every project stage. A machine that performs well during inspection can still fail to meet the objective if dismantling is undocumented, utilities are undersized or acceptance criteria are vague. This checklist keeps the project traceable from first review to production handover.

    1. Desktop technical review

    • Product, container, closure, label, pack and pallet specification.
    • Target net output and planned shifts.
    • Machine list, layout, serial numbers and year.
    • Available manuals, drawings, software and format lists.
    • Electrical standard, utilities and safety requirements.

    2. On-site inspection

    Photograph every machine and nameplate. Observe production start-up, steady running, stops and changeover where possible. Review the product path, wear points, leakage, noise, vibration, reject systems and operator alarms. Interview maintenance staff and document known faults without relying on memory.

    3. Commercial scope

    Mark what is included, excluded or available at extra cost. Clarify tanks, pumps, conveyors, coding equipment, inspection systems, tooling, platforms, guards, spare parts and documentation. State the machine condition and whether any overhaul is promised before shipment.

    4. Dismantling and packing

    Create a tag system for cables, pipes, sensors, conveyor sections and guards. Back up PLC, HMI, recipes and drive parameters before disconnection. Photograph every tagged connection. Packing must reflect weight, lifting points, moisture exposure and international transport.

    5. Site readiness

    Verify foundations, access doors, lifting capacity, drainage, power, compressed air, product, cleaning media, water, steam and cooling. Place connection points on the layout and confirm who supplies each interface. Delayed utilities can cost more than delayed machinery.

    6. Installation and acceptance

    Agree mechanical completion, electrical checks, dry test, wet test and performance test. The acceptance protocol should define product, format, speed, duration, quality, rejects, permitted stops and exclusions. Log unresolved items in a signed punch list with owners and dates.

    SEO and documentation discipline

    Technical clarity also improves how equipment is found online. Use accurate generic equipment terms—used filling line, used bottling machine, complete bottling line—while keeping manufacturer, model and person names unchanged. Avoid invented capacities or claims that are not supported by documentation.

    Browse used filling machines, case packers and the full used bottling equipment catalogue.

    Frequently asked questions

    Who should attend the inspection?

    Ideally a process specialist, mechanical or maintenance representative and controls specialist, with purchasing involved in scope and terms.

    When should software backups be made?

    Before dismantling and again after any agreed modification, with version and machine reference recorded.

  • Used Bottling Lines for Sale: Complete Buyer’s Guide

    Buying a complete used bottling line is not the same as buying a single machine. The line must handle one product, container and closure from infeed to pallet, while every machine shares the same real operating speed. This guide explains the checks that reduce technical and commercial risk before a purchase.

    Start with the product and package

    Define the liquid, container material, nominal volumes, neck finish, closure, label type and secondary packaging. Carbonated drinks normally require pressure-rated filling; still products may use gravity, low-vacuum or volumetric filling. Hot-fill, dairy and sensitive beverages add hygiene, temperature and cleanability requirements.

    Map the complete line

    A complete line may include depalletizing, bottle preparation, rinsing, filling, capping, inspection, labelling, coding, packing, palletizing and conveyors. Ask for the original layout and identify every transfer point. A line advertised at a headline speed can only deliver the output of its slowest machine after normal stops and changeovers.

    • Confirm the product and formats previously run.
    • List included change parts, manuals, software backups and electrical drawings.
    • Check power, air, water, steam and cooling requirements.
    • Verify guarding, safety circuits and compliance for the destination market.
    • Separate machine price from dismantling, packing, freight, installation and commissioning.

    Inspect before committing

    Whenever possible, inspect the line connected and running. Review filler valves, capper heads, label stations, bearings, chains, conveyors, lubrication and control cabinets. Record serial plates and software versions. If a wet production test is impossible, request a documented dry test and agree what will be proven during commissioning.

    Compatibility matters more than age

    A well-maintained line with available spares can be a better purchase than a newer line with the wrong formats or unsupported controls. Confirm that the original manufacturers or qualified specialists can support the installed PLC, drives, safety components and mechanical assemblies. Brand names and model designations should remain unchanged in every technical document.

    Plan integration and acceptance

    Before shipment, define battery limits, responsibilities and acceptance criteria: container, product, speed, duration, waste, changeover time and utilities. Photograph cable labels and conveyor references during dismantling. A realistic schedule includes foundation checks, unloading, mechanical assembly, electrical work, utilities, dry testing, wet testing and operator training.

    Browse complete used bottling lines or send BottlingScout your project requirements for a technical shortlist.

    Frequently asked questions

    What should be included with a used bottling line?

    The commercial offer should list every machine, conveyor, control panel, format set, manual and spare part. Items not listed should be treated as excluded.

    How do I compare two lines?

    Compare them against the same product, container, closure, target net output, utilities, footprint and total installed cost—not only the advertised speed or purchase price.

  • Used PET Bottling Lines: Blow Moulding, Filling and Packaging

    A used PET bottling line must be designed as one air, bottle and product system. Blow moulding output, air conveyors, filler handling and downstream accumulation must remain balanced across every bottle format.

    Define the PET package

    Confirm preform weight, resin, neck finish, bottle geometry, nominal volume, base design and closure. Lightweight bottles can require dedicated guides, low-pressure handling and careful transfer geometry. Never assume that an existing mould or neck finish is compatible without drawings and samples.

    Blow moulding and high-pressure air

    Check the blow moulder’s cavity count, oven condition, spindle wear, stretch rods, mould cooling and installed control versions. Define compressor capacity, air quality, pressure, cooling water and recovery systems. Compressor performance must be evaluated at site conditions and for the heaviest bottle format.

    Filling and hygiene

    Still water, carbonated soft drinks, juice and sensitive products use different preparation and filling concepts. Verify product-contact materials, cleaning circuits, valve design, bowl pressure and any microbiological safeguards. The filler, capper and closure feed must be assessed together.

    Transport and line balance

    • Review air-conveyor neck guides and blower discharge.
    • Confirm bottle transfers through rinser, filler, labeller and packer.
    • Check accumulation before and after critical machines.
    • Validate pack patterns, film specifications and pallet configuration.
    • Calculate the net line output after normal micro-stops.

    Formats, moulds and changeovers

    Obtain a complete inventory of moulds, shells, guides, stars, screws and closure parts. Compare every item with the proposed bottle drawings. Missing format equipment can materially affect both budget and delivery time.

    Utilities and relocation

    PET projects are sensitive to compressed-air and cooling infrastructure. Record electrical loads, low- and high-pressure air, water temperatures, ventilation and floor requirements. During dismantling preserve cable identification, recipes, parameter backups and mould records.

    Explore used PET bottling lines, blow moulding machines and related filling equipment.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can one PET line run many bottle sizes?

    Often yes, but each size must be checked for preform, mould, neck, transfer, label, pack and pallet compatibility.

    What is the most overlooked utility?

    High-pressure air is frequently underestimated. Required flow and pressure must be calculated for the actual bottle and production speed.

  • Used Glass Bottling Lines for Wine, Beer, Water and Soft Drinks

    Glass bottling lines serve very different products, but they share one priority: stable handling of a rigid, fragile container. Correct transfers, pressure control, bottle inspection and closure application determine both line efficiency and package quality.

    Returnable or one-way glass

    Returnable bottles may require depalletizing, decrating, washing, empty-bottle inspection and crate handling. One-way glass usually follows a simpler route but still needs dust removal or rinsing and careful control of incoming bottle quality. Define the process before comparing line offers.

    Match filling technology to the product

    Wine, still water and some food liquids commonly use gravity, low-vacuum or volumetric filling. Beer, sparkling wine and carbonated soft drinks require pressure-controlled isobaric filling. Confirm product temperature, dissolved gas, foaming behaviour, hygiene regime and desired oxygen management.

    Closures and finishing

    A glass line may apply crown caps, aluminium screw caps, natural corks, synthetic closures or mushroom corks with wirehoods. The closure determines capper or corker tooling, level control and downstream equipment. Labels may be self-adhesive, cold-glue, hot-glue or sleeve, with orientation and coding requirements.

    Inspect the container path

    • Check worms, stars, guides and dead plates for the proposed diameters and heights.
    • Review washer discharge and bottle thermal shock where applicable.
    • Verify fill-level, closure and label inspection devices.
    • Inspect conveyor wear, lubrication and accumulation pressure.
    • Confirm case, tray, shrink-pack and pallet patterns.

    Safety, breakage and cleaning

    Look for guards, broken-bottle management, drainage and access for cleaning. Assess glass-fragment control around the filler and product-contact zone. For pressure equipment, confirm documentation and applicable inspection obligations in the destination country.

    Acceptance criteria

    Specify the exact bottle, closure and product for the test. Measure net output, rejects, breakage, fill accuracy, closure quality and line stops over an agreed period. Record settings so the result can be reproduced after relocation.

    Review used glass bottling lines and individual fillers, cappers and labellers in the catalogue.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can a wine line be converted for beer?

    Sometimes, but filling technology, pressure rating, product preparation, closure, hygiene and controls must all be assessed. It is not a simple format change.

    Why inspect conveyors carefully?

    Poor glass handling causes breakage, noise and stops even when the main machines are in good condition.

  • Used Bottling Machines: Selection, Condition and Total Cost

    Used bottling machines can shorten project lead time and control capital expenditure, but only when the equipment is matched to the application. A low purchase price does not compensate for an unsuitable filling principle, missing formats or obsolete controls.

    Define the machine duty

    Write a short duty specification before searching: product, temperature, viscosity, carbonation, container, size range, closure, label, target net output and operating hours. Include cleaning method and contact materials. This prevents a visually attractive machine from becoming an expensive conversion project.

    Choose the correct technology

    Gravity and low-vacuum fillers are common for still liquids; isobaric systems serve carbonated products; volumetric and gravimetric solutions provide measured doses. Cappers must match the exact closure geometry. Labellers differ by cold glue, hot glue, self-adhesive, roll-fed and sleeve application. Packaging equipment must match the pack pattern, film or case and pallet format.

    Request evidence, not assumptions

    • Serial plate, year, model and machine reference.
    • Current photographs of all sides, controls and product-contact areas.
    • Running video showing containers entering and leaving the machine.
    • List of formats, tooling, manuals and spare parts included.
    • Maintenance history and known defects.
    • PLC, HMI, drive and safety-component versions.

    Calculate total installed cost

    Compare purchase price together with inspection, removal, packing, transport, customs, unloading, installation, electrical work, format conversion, spare parts and commissioning. Also value the production time needed to stabilize the machine. The correct comparison is cost to reach accepted production, not cost at the seller’s floor.

    Protect traceability

    Keep original manufacturer names, model codes, serial numbers and component references unchanged. These identifiers support spare-parts searches, manuals and service. Translate the surrounding description, never the technical identity of the machine.

    Build a clear purchase file

    The final file should combine offer, specification, inspection report, photo record, exclusions, delivery terms and acceptance protocol. Use the same document set for internal approval and for the installation team.

    Search the used bottling machine catalogue by category, manufacturer or reference, or ask for a technical match.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is an older machine automatically a poor choice?

    No. Condition, maintenance, compatibility, control support and spare-parts availability are more important than age alone.

    Should I buy as-is or refurbished?

    Choose according to risk, schedule and internal capability. In both cases, define the exact scope and acceptance criteria in writing.

    Why Isobaric Filling for Wine?

    Isobaric (counter-pressure) filling is essential for carbonated wines and beneficial for still wines. The pre-evacuation cycle removes oxygen from the bottle before filling, protecting the wine from oxidation. For sparkling wines, counter-pressure prevents CO₂ loss during the filling process. The 32-valve configuration delivers the throughput needed for medium-sized wineries processing 10,000–40,000 bottles per day.

    • 32 mechanical valves for high throughput on wine lines
    • Dual-speed capability: still wine (5,000 BPH) and sparkling (2,800 BPH)
    • Pre-evacuation protects wine from oxidation
    • Auto-level ensures consistent fill heights across all bottles
    • Electric tank height adjustment for fast format changes
    • widely used machine for wineries and wine cooperatives
