When a juice producer in Spain approached us, their production line was struggling. Outdated semi-automatic filling systems caused excess foaming, inconsistent fill levels, and high product loss. On average, they were wasting nearly 1% of product per batch—a costly problem for a brand competing in the European beverage market.
Discovering the Root Cause
During our on-site assessment, we noticed the existing system lacked precision filling valves and proper handling for pulp-based beverages. It wasn’t just about speed; what the customer needed was a reliable filling machine that could manage fruit particles while preserving carbonation and preventing spillage.
Our Solution
We proposed a servo-controlled automatic filling machine, integrated with a vacuum-assisted filling system and a shrink tunnel for secondary packaging. The servo technology allowed precise dosing between 1–1000ml, while the vacuum system reduced foaming and product waste. Automatic bottle grouping and shrink wrapping streamlined downstream packaging, cutting unnecessary manual handling.
The Results
Within weeks of commissioning, the customer saw production capacity increase by 30%, with product loss dropping below 0.5%. Their operators quickly adapted to the user-friendly PLC interface, and maintenance requirements were minimal. Most importantly, the brand could now confidently meet growing demand without sacrificing product quality.
“For the first time, we achieved both consistency and efficiency. ASFL’s filling machine gave us stability and room to grow,”
— Carlos Martín, Production Manager, Iberia Juice Co.
Why It Matters
This project reinforced our philosophy: a filling machine is not just about speed, it’s about protecting product integrity. By combining precision filling, reliable sealing, and shrink tunnel packaging, ASFL helps beverage brands scale with confidence.
