BC RPEA 32: Versatile Isobaric Filling for Wine Production
The BC RPEA 32 is a rotary isobaric filler equipped with 32 mechanical filling valves, designed for both still and sparkling wine in glass bottles. Built in 1997, it achieves 5,000 BPH on still wine and 2,800 BPH on sparkling wine. The isobaric filling principle with single pre-evacuation, auto-level, and degassing functions ensures oxygen-free filling and consistent fill levels – critical for wine quality and shelf life.

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
