Glass Bottling Line

A used glass bottling line must be assessed against the bottles and closures you intend to run. Wine bottles, beer bottles and other glass containers can require different handling parts and closing equipment, even when their nominal volume is the same.

New glass or returnable bottles?

Clarify whether the line is configured for new or returnable glass. Check which bottle cleaning and inspection stages are present; rinsing equipment should not be assumed to provide the washing process required for returned bottles. For the filling section, compare the documented product application, filling system and capper configuration.

Also review label application and the final pack: cartons, crates and other formats require the relevant equipment and change parts. Share bottle drawings, closure specifications, label samples and pack configuration with Elitekno when requesting information about a line.
