Introduction
A 5L edible oil filling line exists for one reason: to move large-format oil jugs quickly and accurately, without spills, without giveaway and without heavy manual handling. Built around 5L PET jugs, the system covers filling, capping, labeling and case packing, so bulk cooking oil leaves your plant ready for shelves, wholesalers or distributor trucks.
The dosing heart of this bulk cooking oil filling line is a 10-head flowmeter type edible oil filling machine that meters every jug individually, backed by downstream stations balanced to the same rhythm — about 1,500 jugs per hour (customizable).
Reliability is designed in: every machine is water-trial-run as one complete line before shipment, and our engineers support you with layout, installation and commissioning on site.
The Challenge
Filling big containers creates problems small bottles rarely cause. Dripping nozzles stain jug necks, caps and fresh labels. On a 5L product, even a small overfill multiplied by thousands of jugs a day is expensive giveaway. Manual capping, labeling and lifting of heavy jugs is slow, tiring work that is hard to staff. And when a filler, a capper and a packer come from different suppliers, nobody owns the interface between them — which usually means delays and finger-pointing during commissioning.
Our Solution
Instead of a patchwork of independent machines, we deliver one synchronized line with a single PLC. Flowmeter metering keeps the volume of every 5L jug on target; anti-drip nozzles keep the bottle neck clean; and the capping, labeling and packing stations are engineered for the same output, so the line runs as one balanced system from the first day.

Key Features & Special Designs
- Accurate bulk dosing — flowmeter metering keeps each 5L jug on target, protecting your margin on a high-value product.
- Anti-drip nozzles — a clean cut-off prevents residual oil from dripping onto jug necks, caps or labels after every fill, keeping the packing area tidy.
- Independent head control — each filling head can be started, stopped or adjusted alone, so one faulty head no longer forces the whole line to stop .
- Safety interlock — the machine stops automatically when a door or guard is opened, protecting operators during cleaning and changeover .
- Big-jug-friendly case packing — the servo drop-type packer handles heavy 5L jugs in a stable 2×2 carton pattern with a short cycle (customizable).
- Food-safe and easy to clean — product-contact parts are #304 stainless steel (customizable); the PLC touch screen keeps operation simple enough for one operator.

Applications
This line is the right fit for regional and national edible oil brands, private-label producers and oil packers supplying catering or retail channels with soybean, sunflower, canola, peanut, palm, olive or blended cooking oil in 5L PET jugs (customizable). The same line can be adapted between 1L and 5L formats with changeover parts, which makes it a flexible asset as your pack portfolio grows (customizable).
