A long-established regional beverage company in Japan, after years of cultivating the traditional juice market, decided to cater to the younger consumer trend and launch a “0 sugar, 0 calories” sparkling water product. However, during the production line upgrade, the company encountered serious challenges: the existing juice bottling equipment could not handle the foaming issues caused by the high carbonation content of the liquid, resulting in unstable liquid levels and poor sealing after bottling; simultaneously, due to the lack of a gas pressure stabilization system, CO₂ loss was significant, greatly diminishing the product’s taste. Furthermore, the time-consuming replacement of the old equipment severely restricted production capacity. The client urgently needed a modern glass bottle bottling line specifically designed for sparkling beverages, with a capacity of 12,000 bottles/hour and guaranteed effervescent taste.

Equipment Configuration and Core Technology To address the company’s specific needs in transitioning from juice to sparkling beverages, a HF model 12,000 bottle/hour glass bottle carbonated beverage three-in-one bottling machine was custom-designed for them. This equipment has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in structure and process. Key technological highlights include:

**Gas Pressure Stabilizing Injection System:** An advanced isobaric filling valve assembly and gas pressure stabilizing injection system effectively prevent CO₂ loss during filling, ensuring the robust taste of the sparkling water. The plunger-type filling structure completely solves the problems of foaming and overflow in high-carbonated liquids.

**High-Precision Liquid Level Control:** Filling accuracy is strictly controlled within ±2mL, ensuring consistent liquid level in each bottle and significantly reducing raw material waste. Long-term operation significantly lowers production costs for enterprises.

**Explosion-Proof Chamber and Hygiene Standards:** The filling chamber is made of food-grade 304 stainless steel and features an explosion-proof design, ensuring the safety of filling high-pressure carbonated beverages from a production perspective. It also supports aseptic filling upgrades, achieving a 100% microbiological compliance rate, fully meeting national food safety standards.

**One-Button Changeover and Intelligent Control:** The equipment is equipped with a one-button changeover function, supporting rapid switching between multiple glass bottle sizes, with a changeover time controlled within 40 minutes. Equipped with a Mitsubishi PLC and PROFACE touch screen, it achieves fully automated monitoring and has intelligent functions such as no filling without a bottle and alarm for missing caps.
