Automatic RFC Isobaric Carbonated Beverage Filling Machine Manufacturer In Great Britain

Carbonated beverage bottling demands far greater control than still liquid filling. Carbonation retention, oxygen management, precise liquid levels, and hygienic sealing all play a decisive role in product taste, shelf life, and brand reputation. An Automatic RFC Isobaric Carbonated Beverage Filling Machine is therefore a critical investment for beverage manufacturers operating in competitive markets across Great Britain.

Engineered for glass bottle carbonation, this monoblock system integrates rinsing, isobaric counter-pressure filling, and capping into a single, synchronized platform. Developed by Technogen Enterprise, the machine is designed to meet international bottling standards while delivering long-term mechanical stability and production confidence.

What Is an Automatic RFC Isobaric Carbonated Beverage Filling Machine?

An Automatic RFC Isobaric Carbonated Beverage Filling Machine is a fully integrated rinser–filler–capper designed specifically for carbonated products packaged in glass bottles. Unlike gravity or volumetric fillers, this system uses counter-pressure (isobaric) filling technology, which balances internal bottle pressure with tank pressure during filling.

This approach is essential for carbonated beverages such as soda, beer, tonic water, and sparkling drinks, where uncontrolled filling can cause foaming, CO₂ loss, and inconsistent fill levels. The RFC monoblock architecture minimizes handling, reduces contamination risk, and ensures uniform output at high production speeds.

Working Principle of the RFC Isobaric Carbonated Beverage Filling Machine

1. Rinsing Operation

Empty glass bottles enter the rotary rinsing turret, where they are securely held by neck grippers. The rinsing process includes:

• Stainless-steel spray nozzles

• Water or sterile air rinsing

• Bottle inversion and effective drainage

• Automatic No Bottle – No Rinse control

This stage ensures bottles are free from dust, glass particles, or contaminants before filling.

2. Isobaric Filling (Counter-Pressure Technology)

Isobaric filling is the industry-preferred method for carbonation-based beverages. The system uses ULTRA mechanical two-step filling valves and a pressurised filling bowl to maintain carbonation stability.

Step-by-step isobaric filling process:

1. Bottles are lifted and sealed tightly under the filling valve.

2. Air inside the bottle is evacuated to minimise oxygen presence.

3. CO₂ is injected to equalise bottle pressure with the product tank.

4. Beverage flows smoothly through the long filling tube.

5. Turbulence and foaming are controlled throughout filling.

6. Excess gas is gently released to achieve accurate fill levels.

Key benefits of isobaric filling:

• Preserves carbonation and taste

• Prevents foaming and overflow

• Maintains uniform liquid levels

• Minimises oxidation

• Improves product shelf life

3. Capping Operation (Crown or ROPP)

After filling, bottles move directly to the capping turret. Customers can select one of the following configurations:

Crown Capping

• Suitable for beer, soda, and aerated drinks

• Tamper-proof sealing

• Compatible with 26 mm or 29 mm crowns

• Magnetic capping heads for consistency

ROPP Aluminium Capping

• Ideal for premium beverages and tonic water

• Adjustable knurling rollers

• Leak-free sealing on glass bottles

The capping section is perfectly synchronised with filling to prevent bottle damage or seal inconsistency.
