Introduction
An edible oil filling line links bottle feeding, volumetric dosing, capping, sleeve labeling, shrinking, film wrapping and cartoning onto one synchronized conveyor, so a single operator can supervise what traditionally needed a whole team. The configuration presented on this page is engineered for PET bottles from 150ml to 1L — the sizes that appear most frequently on retail cooking oil shelves.
At the dosing core of this cooking oil bottling production line stands a 10-head piston type edible oil filling machine, and every downstream station is matched to its rhythm: up to 2,500 bottles per hour (based on 1L bottles) (customizable), so no single unit holds the whole line back.
Before shipment, each machine is assembled, aligned and trial-run as a complete line in our workshop, and our engineers provide the layout design, installation guidance and commissioning support that make the handover smooth.
Line Composition — One System from Empty Bottle to Sealed Carton
Instead of buying a filler, a capper and a labeler from different suppliers and then hiring engineers to link them, you receive one integrated system. A typical line is composed of the following stations:
|
Machine
|
What it does on the line
|
|
Bottle in-feed & accumulating conveyor
|
Feeds and spaces empty bottles before filling; conveying speed synchronized with the filler (customizable).
|
|
10-head piston filling machine
|
Doses edible oil by piston stroke; filling volume preset for 150ml/250ml/1L and quickly adjustable (customizable).
|
|
Lamp inspection station
|
Backlit viewing area where the operator checks fill level and spots foreign matter before capping.
|
|
Automatic cap sorting & pressing machine
|
Unscrambles caps, places them onto bottles and presses them home automatically.
|
|
Sleeve labeling machine + steam shrink tunnel
|
Applies shrink-sleeve labels, then a steam-heated #304 stainless steel tunnel shrinks them evenly around the bottle.
|
|
Sleeve-type film wrapping & shrinking machine
|
Wraps 150ml/250ml bottles into film bundles in a 3×4 pattern — 12 bottles per pack — for stable transport and display.
|
|
Gripper type single-head servo case packer
|
Servo-driven gripper lifts film bundles, or 1L bottles directly, into cartons at about 5 cases per minute (customizable).
|
|
Carton erector & carton sealer
|
Opens flat cartons at the line head and seals filled cartons at the line end, 8–12 cases per minute (customizable).
|
Working Process
The material flow is kept simple and logical: bottles in → piston filling → backlit inspection → capping → sleeve labeling & steam shrinking → film wrapping (150ml/250ml) → case packing → carton sealing, with conveyors carrying bottles and cartons between every station.
Key Features & Special Designs
- Steam shrink tunnel in #304 stainless steel — steam delivers uniform, gentle heat around the whole sleeve, so labels fit tightly even on different bottle diameters; tooling is exchangeable when the bottle diameter changes (customizable).
- Flexible packing logic — small bottles are film-wrapped into 3×4 bundles before cartoning, while 1L bottles skip bundling and are packed directly, which saves film material and handling time.
- Gentle gripper case packing — bottle groups are gripped and placed into cartons instead of being pushed along, lowering the risk of scratched bottles or damaged cartons.
- Food-safe build — product-contact parts are made of #304 stainless steel (customizable), keeping edible oil clean and making wash-down simple.
- Central PLC + touch screen — one HMI controls start, stop and speed of the whole line; changeover parameters for different bottles can be recalled in seconds.
- Layout flexibility — machines are arranged according to the layout drawing to fit your available floor space, and conveyor height can be adjusted to your working level (customizable).
Applications
This line suits edible oil producers packing sunflower, soybean, rapeseed, peanut, olive, corn or blended cooking oil into 150ml, 250ml and 1L PET bottles (customizable) — from regional brands to large filling plants. With configuration changes, it can also handle other free-flowing, low-viscosity liquid foods such as soy sauce or vinegar (customizable).
