The beverage bottling is part of production process in plants , the beverages produced was, it mineral water , fruit juices , beer , wine , brandy or other.
Nowadays, an automated filling system - a highly automated line for intermittent flow production - is generally used for filling . Such manufacturing facilities are particularly capital-intensive.
Production steps are usually cleaning the bottles , checking the bottle head geometry (whether the screw thread and the sealing collar are undamaged), filling with the drink, closing with a screw cap , crown cap or cork , labeling and often sorting of bottles in boxes . Before cleaning, any remaining crown corks are removed with a decorker .
For certain types of production, such as bottling wine, a bottling system is only required on a few days of the year. Many wineries therefore do without their own plant and use a contract bottler company that drives up with its plant on a truck and takes care of the bottling business on a wage or order basis within a few days.
Because wines contain comparatively low alcohol levels and often residual sugar, they must be bottled carefully and sterile . Fine filters separate the wine from turbid matter and any remaining yeast cells to prevent secondary fermentation . The filtered wine is then bottled clean, clear and stable in sterile bottles and sealed with sterile corks, screw caps or other means.
