Choose a Filling Line by Product
A filling line is a chain of stations: container handling, filling, capping, labeling and, where needed, coding and inspection. The product is what changes the chain. Thin liquids, pastes and small-batch work each push the design a different way.
The cost guide’s quotation worksheet helps you include capping and other separately quoted stations in the comparable total. List the connecting conveyors too when you compare scope.
- 01Line typeLiquid Filling LinesFoam, drip or a narrow bottle opening can make the wrong filler a poor fit. Start with liquid behavior and container dimensions, then match the filling and downstream stations.View page →
- 02Line typePaste Filling LinesAir and stringing in a paste end up as short fills and dirty seals. Tell us how your product behaves at filling temperature and we configure the feed, dosing and sealing around it.View page →

What Is Included in the Line?
Every line is configured to your product and container and built to order. The table shows the usual split between included, optional and customer-supplied stations, and your proposal sets the final list.
- 1
Container feeding or unscrambling
Bottles or jars reach the conveyor by hand or through an unscrambler. Round, stable containers feed easily; tall, light or oddly shaped ones need more thought.
[Optional] - 2
Feed tank, heating or holding
Product sits in a tank above or beside the filler. Whether it needs heating or stirring depends on the product.
[To be assessed] - 3
Filling
The filler type follows from viscosity, foaming, particles and the container opening.
[Included] - 4
Capping
Screw, lug, flip-top or pump closures are fed, placed and tightened.
[Included] - 5
Labeling
Wrap-around, flat-surface, multi-side or sleeve labeling, depending on the container shape.
[Included] - 6
Coding and inspection
Inkjet or laser coding, plus checks for fill level, cap presence or label presence, when your product and market call for them.
[Optional] - 7
Case packing and palletizing
Boxing and stacking are separate machines. We agree the interfaces so they can be added now or later.
[To be assessed] - 8
Recipe production
Cooking, blending and similar processing happen before the product reaches the line. They are not part of it.
[Excluded] - 9
Utilities and building works
You prepare power, compressed air, drains, floor condition and access on site.
[By customer]
[Scope]
Every line is configured to your product and container and built to order.

Find a Line for Your Application
Each application page covers what is specific to that product: honey that crystallizes, sauces with particles, oils that drip, shampoo that foams.
- 01ApplicationHoneyHoney that strings or traps air leaves dirty rims and bubbles in clear jars. Give us the honey state, filling temperature, jar and cap first; they decide the line.View page →
- 02ApplicationSaucesParticles that do not suit the bottle opening can block filling or leave sauce on the sealing rim. Match the sauce at filling temperature, its pieces and the container opening before choosing stations.View page →
- 03ApplicationEdible OilOil left on the neck after filling weakens the cap seal and the label. Start from the oil and the bottle format; the filler, capper and labeler follow.View page →
- 04ApplicationShampooFoam in the neck can cause short fills and a messy bottle. Define the shampoo’s filling condition, bottle opening and closure before selecting filling and capping stations.View page →

Compare Line Configurations
Two choices change a line more than any other: how containers are loaded and how labels are applied. The comparison is qualitative.
Takeaway: Compare operator-fed and unscrambler-fed layouts with the same filling, capping and labeling scope, then decide which loading steps your operators will keep.
| Aspect | Operator-fed line | Unscrambler-fed line |
|---|---|---|
| Container loading | An operator places containers on the infeed conveyor. | An unscrambler orients and delivers containers without handling. |
| Fits when | Batches are small, formats change often or space is tight. | Containers run continuously and the operator should not be tied to the infeed. |
| Interfaces to plan | Infeed height and a place to stage containers. | Container shape that can be oriented reliably, plus a feed hopper and its refill route. |
| Labeling choice | Wrap-around labeling suits round bottles and jars; flat-surface labeling suits square or flat sides. | Same labeling choices apply; multi-side labeling is added for square bottles that need more than one label panel. |
| Later expansion | Can add an unscrambler, coding or inspection later if the layout leaves room. | Can add downstream packing once the line is running steadily. |

Plan Capacity, Space and Utilities
Start with good containers per shift and the stations you want to retain. Use the line layout guide to record the room, access route and utility locations; the What to send us table below brings these inputs together.
[07]
Scope, Installation and Support
We configure and build each line to order around the agreed product, container and output. The proposal says which stations are included, which are optional and which you provide.
For installation, the line layout guide sets out site readiness inputs. Our published installation service describes positioning and leveling, connecting power and air, running empty and then with product, and recording the agreed acceptance settings.
Training can cover operators, maintenance staff and supervisors, with the settings and training recorded at handover. Discuss remote or on-site support and any separate costs; the cost guide’s quotation comparison asks you to check installation and training explicitly. The quotation itemizes the selected service arrangement and its costs.
Our spare-parts guidance recommends asking for a parts list with the quotation. Use the machine and part details to agree the list for your configuration; a new container or label can need different guides or holding parts. The cost guide’s changeover and spare-parts section explains why these belong in the budget.
Sources: LINEVO’s installation and training service supports the installation and training description above; its spare-parts service supports the parts-list request.

01GuideFilling Line CostCompare filling line prices after matching the stations, formats, integration and delivery scope. Then add installation, site work and operating costs on the same accounting basis.View page →
02GuideHow to Choose a Filling LineChoose a filling line from the product and container, then define accepted output, the automation boundary, utilities and the stations supplied. The configuration review connects these requirements before equipment is built.View page →
03GuideRFQ ChecklistPrepare a filling line RFQ with the product, container and closure, required accepted output, site layout and delivery scope. A shared brief lets engineering define each station and its interfaces on the same basis.View page →
04GuideSemi-Automatic Bottle LineBuild a semi-automatic bottle filling line by deciding which tasks remain manual and which stations need automatic handling. Review filling, capping, labeling and transfers separately, then plan the interfaces needed for the next upgrade.View page →
05GuideVolumetric vs Net WeightChoose volumetric or net weight filling from the quantity each container must hold. Volume, net product mass and visible fill level are different measurements; define the target unit, tare and product conditions before comparing metering methods.View page →
06GuidePiston vs Gear PumpA piston filler meters through a cylinder stroke; a gear pump filler meters through rotating gears. Compare their product path, valve, seals, dose adjustment and refill behavior with the actual formulation, then connect the selected meter to bottle handling and cleaning.View page →
07GuideLine Speed and Good OutputCompare filling line speed using accepted bottles at the same count point and over the same time window. Separate individual machine cycles from complete-line output, and record stops, rejects and format conditions with the count.View page →
08GuideLiquid Detergent Line ChecksPlan a liquid detergent filling line around the formulation, foam behavior, bottle geometry and closure. Review the fill motion, product-contact materials, bottle support and capping handoff together, using samples at the intended filling condition.View page →
09GuideCosmetic Bottle Format PlanningPlan cosmetic bottle formats with one record per finished SKU. Product, container, closure, label and the change between SKUs determine which settings, contact parts and handling tools the line needs.View page →
10GuidePaste Filler Parts IdentificationIdentify paste filling machine parts by the machine record, the component function and the product path. Separate wear seals from valve hardware and format parts, then check the drawing and material before ordering a replacement.View page →
11GuideCapping Machine IntegrationPoor cap engagement wastes filled bottles. Match an automatic capping machine to the closure, bottle restraint and cap feed, then define torque checks and line interfaces before comparing output.View page →
12GuideBottle Labeling Line InterfaceHand loading a bottle labeler can add downtime to a continuous filling line. Match your bottle labeling machine to bottle holding, label format and conveyor interfaces before comparing speed.View page →
13GuideHot Fill vs Cold FillHot fill needs a package that tolerates heat and the pressure change during cooling. Cold fill needs a defined preservation and storage route. Compare the bottle, cap seal and connected stations before choosing the line.View page →
14GuideJar Neck and ClosureBring the jar drawing, product-piece details and cap specification into the same line brief. Work through the opening, cut-off and closing checks before requesting a configuration.View page →
15GuideBottle Format ChecksPrepare the body, neck and closure drawings, then use the format-confirmation sheet to review positioning, settings and change parts across the proposed line.View page →
16GuideShrink Sleeve & Steam TunnelWe size a shrink sleeve labeling machine and heat tunnel together so the film reel, mandrel, cutter head, tunnel zones, and conveyor buffers match the container profile and upstream filler handoff.View page →
17GuideCan Filling & Seaming Line GuideA complete canning line pairs a can filling machine with an atmospheric, vacuum, or nitrogen-flushed can seamer and a downstream can labeling machine so fill volume, headspace oxygen, double-seam hooks, and label placement stay synchronized.View page →- 18GuideWine and Spirits BottlingA wine bottling line or spirits bottling line equipment specification starts with glass neck-finish dimensions, vacuum level-filling valves, dissolved-oxygen control, closure turrets, and alcohol-vapor safety.View page →
19GuideNitrogen Dosing Before CappingAdding a liquid nitrogen dosing station between the filler discharge and the capper infeed protects oxygen-sensitive oils and stiffens lightweight plastic bottles. Synchronizing fill-height headspace, conveyor travel time, sensor delay, and closure seal integrity keeps headspace pressure consistent across the bottling line.View page →
20GuideBottling Line Filler Tube GuideEvery bottling line filler tube sits at the final boundary between the dosing pump and the container neck. Selecting the right filling machine nozzle tube or liquid filler diving nozzle requires balancing internal bore velocity against annular air escape around the outside of the tube while matching the shutoff tip and elastomer seals to your liquid viscosity.View page →
Questions Before Quotation
- 01Can you supply a line from empty bottles to labeled bottles?
- Yes. The basic scope is filling, capping and labeling, with container feeding, coding and inspection as options. The proposal lists the exact stations and any interfaces to machines you already own.
- 02Do I need to know my output before I ask?
- No. A rough target per shift is enough to start. If you're unsure, tell us how many operators you have and how many containers you expect to sell. We set output with the line configuration.
- 03My product is thick or has pieces in it. Is that a problem?
- It changes the filler and the nozzle, so tell us early. Honey and sauces have their own pages, and paste products have a separate overview.
- 04Can you work from my existing labeler or capper?
- Possibly. Send photos and the model, and say which stations you want to keep. We check reuse against the new line's conveyor height and spacing.
- 05Are installation and training included?
- They're offered as a service: commissioning on site, plus operator, maintenance and supervisor training. Whether they're in your price is stated in your proposal.
- 06Can I order only a filler, or only a labeler?
- Yes. We supply single stations as well as complete lines. Send photos or drawings of the machines before and after that station, with conveyor height and container size, so we can match the interfaces.
