Linear vs. Rotary Filling Machines: Which Is Right for You?

Linear vs. rotary filling machine: which is right for you? If you want to buy a filling machine, but donot know linear type or rotary type is suitable for you. Then we can discuss about it:

1. It is up to the capacity.

If the capacity is small, like smaller than 2000bottle per hour (for 500ml), the linear type will be suitable. Because the machine total cost is lower. And the machine size, especially the length, is not big. May you say the rotary filling machine is small size also. Yes, friend, but the rotary machine need to make a complex rotary transfer system, even the capacity is small, so the cost will be high much. If the capacity is bigger than 2000bottle per hour, even much more. The rotary filling machine is better. Because for high capacity, the linear machine is bigger, especially the length is big. It is not suitable for operating and transporting.

2. It is up to the bottle.

If the bottle is small and pet thin bottle. It is better to choose the rotary filling machine. because the rotary filling machine transfer the bottle by hanging-neck. The linear machine transfer the bottle by bottle-push-bottle. If the bottle is thin, the bottle shape may change, the filling valve can not aim at the bottle mouth. But the rotary clamp the bottle neck, it will aim at the bottle mouth well. If the bottle is big PE bottle and square shape. It is better to use linear filling machine. the big bottle will be thick, not have shape change. And if the rotary filling machine treat the big square bottle, the machine will be big, the cost will be high.

3. It is up to the filling material.

If the filling material is normal like water, drink, it is better to choose the rotary filling machine. the liquid will flow to valve from middle tank easily. If the filling material is stick adhesive semi-fluid, it is better to use the linear filling machine. the material need pump to transport to valve, one pump to one valve. The linear filling machine can do it more easily.

After this discussing, if you are still puzzled about linear vs. rotary filling machine, you can send us your bottle pictures, we can check it for you!
