Yes. We provide production line integration services, connecting equipment such as bottle rinsers, filling machines, capping machines, labeling machines, and other end-of-line packaging machines to build an automated line. Optimization of existing lines is also available.
Yes. Sample testing can be arranged via on-site trials with demo machines or by sending samples to us. We will provide an evaluation and test video after testing.
Yes. T&G provides one-year warranty and on-site training for all equipment.
Bottle cleaning methods can be configured as air rinsing or water rinsing based on product characteristics and production line requirements, ensuring internal bottle cleanliness while maintaining line efficiency.
Different bottle materials have different manufacturing processes and contamination risks, so the chosen method directly affects cleaning performance and overall line complexity.
- Plastic bottles (PET / HDPE, etc.)
Typically only require removal of dust or light foreign particles. Air cleaning is sufficient, offering a simple process and high efficiency. - Glass bottles
May contain residues such as ink or process contaminants from forming or printing. Air cleaning alone is often insufficient, so water cleaning is recommended to ensure proper internal cleanliness.
Notes:
- Water rinsing requires an additional drying or air-drying process before filling, resulting in a more complex system configuration.
The water supply is provided by the customer. The bottle washer can utilize the following clean water sources to meet food and beverage hygiene standards:
- RO purified water
Removes dissolved impurities and minerals, suitable for applications with higher hygiene requirements. - Ozonated water
Provides natural sterilization and effectively reduces microbial risk. - Other clean water sources
Evaluated based on product and process requirements.
Notes:
- After water rinsing, approximately 2–3 cc of residual water may remain inside the bottle.
- If the product can directly contact water source, the process can proceed to filling and capping without drying.
- If direct water contact is not allowed, a drying or air-drying process is required before filling.
T&G’s air rinsing system is designed specifically for internal bottle cleanliness.
The system integrates static eliminators and dust collection units. During the cleaning process, clean dry air (CDA) removes particles while neutralizing static charge, and dust is guided into a collection cup, effectively reducing residua particles and secondary contamination.
For applications requiring higher cleanliness levels, air rinsing performance can be enhanced by upgrading the compressed air treatment system.
An optional CKD (Japan) antibacterial / sterilizing three-stage filtration system is available with the following features:
- Bacterial removal: LRV ≥ 8
- Antibacterial performance: Activity value 3 (inhibits bacterial growth)
- Filtration accuracy: 0.01 μm with 99.99% removal efficiency
- Recommended filter replacement: Approx. 6,000 operating hours
This configuration significantly improves air rinsing cleanliness without adding water rinsing or drying processes, making it ideal for food, beverage, and health product applications.
The filling method is selected based on requirements for fill level consistency, filling volume or weight/volume accuracy.
- Fill level control
Overflow filling ensures consistent liquid levels in each bottle, providing an uniform appearance. It is particularly suitable for transparent bottles or products with high visual requirements. - Weight / volume accuracy control
Depending on product characteristics and line requirements, the following filling methods are available:- Peristaltic pump
- Rotary lobe pump
- Screw pump
- Piston (volumetric) filling
- Precision metering pump
- Gravimetric (weighing / load cell) filling
- Pressure filling
T&G recommends the most suitable filling solution based on product viscosity, presence of particles, filling accuracy, filling temperature, cleaning method (CIP/SIP), and production capacity.
To minimize foaming degree, the filling nozzle descends to the bottom of the bottle and rises together with the liquid level during filling, minimizing drop height and splashing to effectively reduce foaming and improve filling stability and product appearance.
All liquid contact parts are made of SUS316 stainless steel and use food-grade seals and tubing, complying with FDA and relevant food-contact material regulations.
T&G offers the following types of capping machines:
- Side-wrapping type:
Suitable for most caps with pre-formed threads, such as trigger spray caps, pump caps, flip-top caps, round caps, tamper-evident caps, press caps, and safety ring caps. - Single-head type:
Suitable for flat caps with a more uniform cap style. - Gripper type:
Suitable for applications requiring precise positioning during capping. - Sealing type:
Suitable for roll-on aluminum caps.
T&G’s capping machines use servo motor-controlled system, allowing target torque and speed to be precisely set for different caps and bottles. This ensures consistent sealing tightness while preventing scratches on glossy caps.
YES. Optional inspection systems can be integrated to detect missing or misaligned caps, combined with rejection systems to significantly reduce manual inspection.
YES. Transparent labels can be applied using transparent-label sensor or by punching holes in the linear paper to ensure accurate label detection and application.
YES. The labeling machine can be integrated with inkjet printers, hot stamping coders, or thermal transfer printers for pre-label coding, and can also be combined with vision inspection systems to verify label content and print quality.
