Key Features of the Linear Servo Tracking Filler
- Widest bottle compatibility. Linear tracking handles 50 ml to 5,000 ml with no starwheels, no pucks and no turret tooling. Round, square, rectangular, oval, asymmetrical and decorative bottles all run on the same machine; only the guide rails need adjustment.
- Medium to low viscosity liquids. Engineered for free-flowing to moderately viscous products: vodka, whisky, gin, baijiu, liqueurs, edible oil, medicinal tinctures, liquid honey and light syrups.
- Fast changeover with recipe memory. The HMI stores fill volume, tracking profile, nozzle depth and conveyor speed for each SKU. Switch between formats with one touch, then fine-tune the guide rails.
- No bottle, no fill, plus auto-reject. Photoelectric sensors confirm bottle position before the fill cycle starts. Missing, jammed or misaligned bottles are skipped and rejected automatically, so no product is dispensed onto the conveyor.
- Sanitary, splash-resistant construction. SUS304 frame with SUS316L or PTFE-lined product contact parts. FDA-grade seals resist high-ABV ethanol. CIP-ready tri-clamp piping and tool-free disassembly for daily cleaning.
Bottle height runs from 100 mm to 350 mm and diameter from 30 mm to 100 mm, which covers the standard spirits, condiment and edible oil formats. Carbonated products and pulped juices work on a different filling principle, so tell us the product first and we will point you to the right machine rather than the nearest one.
How Servo Tracking Filling Works
The nozzles move with the bottle. Instead of stopping the conveyor at a filling station, the nozzles synchronise with each bottle and travel with it. Filling happens in continuous motion, so there is no index-stop cycle, no waiting position, and no bottle-to-bottle impact on lightweight or decorated glass.
The fill is bottom-up, in two stages. Each nozzle dives to the base of the bottle and rises as the level climbs. A two-stage servo profile slows the flow near the shoulder, which suppresses foam and leaves the neck and thread dry for capping and labelling.

Formats above 1,000 ml up to 5,000 ml are configured per project. Send your bottle drawing and we will confirm capacity and nozzle set before quoting.
The frame is SUS304 and every product contact part is SUS316L or PTFE-lined. Seals are FDA-grade and selected for high-ABV ethanol service, so the wetted path holds up to spirits rather than absorbing them. Product piping uses tri-clamp connections and is CIP-ready, and the fill heads come apart without tools for cleaning between SKUs.
Servo Tracking vs Rotary Filling: Which Fits Your Bottle Range?
There are two ways to fill a bottle. A rotary filler stops the bottle inside a carousel and needs starwheels, pucks and turret tooling for every format. A tracking filler keeps the conveyor running and moves the nozzle with the bottle instead, so the bottle never stops and the change parts never exist.

The rule of thumb: three or more SKUs, short batches and shaped bottles point to tracking; one bottle running all year points to rotary. Tell us your SKU mix and annual volume and we will say which one we would put on your floor.
Optional Equipment for a Complete Bottling Line
The filler rarely runs on its own. It takes bottles from a rinser and hands them to a capper and a labeller, and every handover — conveyor height, pitch, accumulation — is agreed before the machines are built. If you already run a rinser and a capper, we size the filler to your existing line instead of the other way round.
- Bottle rinser. Cleans the bottle before it reaches the fill heads, so dust and glass fragments do not end up in the product.
- Capping machine. Screw caps, press-on tamper-evident caps and other closures, matched to the cap you already buy.
- Labelling machine. Self-adhesive or shrink-sleeve, with the label position set from the fill level rather than from the bottle base.
- End-of-line equipment. Case packing and palletising for the volumes where manual handling becomes the bottleneck.
Only the filler is mandatory. Everything downstream is quoted separately, so you can start with one machine and add the rest when the volume justifies it.
FAQ About Linear Servo Tracking Filling Machine
Can it fill square, oval or asymmetrical bottles without change parts?
Yes. Bottle shape is handled by the guide rails, not by starwheels or pucks. Round, square, rectangular, oval, asymmetrical and decorative bottles from 50 ml to 5,000 ml run on the same machine.
What fill accuracy can I expect?
±1.5% of the set fill volume. Narrow-neck and large-format bottles are checked against your own bottle and product before the order is released.
Will it handle high-ABV spirits such as baijiu or cask-strength whisky?
Yes. Product contact parts are SUS316L or PTFE-lined, and the seals are FDA-grade and ethanol-resistant. Material selection is finalised against your ABV and aroma profile.
What do you need from me to quote?
A bottle drawing or physical sample, fill volume, target output in BPH, product ABV and viscosity, and your line layout. That is enough to confirm the model, nozzle configuration and change-part set.
