Beverage Packaging Equipment
Bevarage packaging is a huge industry accounting for
billions of dollars in sales per year around the world.
Products range from basic
water bottling lines,
hot fill products like juices and teas, to
carbonated beverages
like sodas and beers.
Types of Beverage Packaging
Naturally our first thought when we think of beverage
packaging is of glass or plastic bottles with a cap, but more
and more we are starting to see alternative flexible packaging
such as aseptic
packaging in cartons or gusseted bags or bag in a box
systems.
The beverage packaging equipment business continues to
evolve as new packaging methods are being introduced to allow
beverage products to be more environmentally friendly with
lighter packaging and longer shelf life. Busch Machinery
carries a full line of beverage packaging equipment and
bottling machines to meet the challenge of your packaging needs.

Typical Beverage Packaging Machinery
Many beverage packaging lines start with a blo w
molder for forming the bottle right on line.
Blow molders accept what are
known as preforms, which is basically and injection molded
part that looks like a collapsed bottle. The idea behind
it is that fully formed bottles take up a lot of space and
shipping costs can get prohibitive especially when producing
large quantities. Some plants even have their own
injection molders to save even more costs (not offered at
Busch).
Rinser-Filler-Capper
From the blo w
molder the bottles feed into a
bulk bottle unscrambler
to a
rinser-filler-capper monoblock system to clean, fill, and
cap the bottles. Once filled and
capped all that remains is
to dry the product, put a
label on it (full
body shrink sleeve or a
label), date code
it and complete the
end-of-line packaging.
End of Line Beverage Packaging
With our primary beverage packaging done, the next step is
to prepare the product for shipment. End of line packaging
consists of putting the bottles into a case, which can be done
by hand on lower production lines, or automatically which
includes a case erector,
case packer and
case sealer. Nowadays we
alternatively use sleeve
wrappers, with or without tray
formers and tray packers, to bundle the bottles. After
that the bundles or cases can be
automatically palletized and then
stretch wrapped.
