BOTTLING LINES
Bottling lines are complex systems designed for the automated production of bottled beverages and other liquids. These systems are integral to industries such as beverages, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, where precise filling, capping, labelling and packaging are essential parts of the production process, and need to be carried out accurately and with consistency.
Bottling line conveyors are a great way to achieve this consistent accuracy, by helping manage the production and movement of bottled goods with ease.
MCL and its system integrator, OEM and automation partners are available to assist you with your productivity improvement journey.

VERTICAL CASE ELEVATOR
A vertical elevator efficiently transports packaged bottles or containers between different levels within a facility, optimising space utilisation in bottling plants and other production environments.
BELT CONVEYORS
Bottling line belt conveyors are predominantly modular plastic belt or slat chain belt conveyors. These provide seamless transport of either bottles or containers around your facility.
ROLLER CONVEYORS
Roller conveyors in bottling lines facilitate the movement of packaged bottles, often cases. They use a predefined path of mounted rollers to move cases from one area to another.
DEVICES
Specialised devices can be added to perform specific tasks such as diverting or sorting bottles, enhancing operational efficiency and functionality across your production line.

Frequently Asked Questions
A bottling line conveyor system is a specialised assembly of conveyor belts and related equipment designed to automate the process of bottling beverages or other liquids.
We partner with specialty equipment manufacturers, system integrators and automation businesses to deliver turnkey solutions for bottling line equipment. Our systems are designed to move your product between the different stages of bottling, which typically include:
- Filling: Bottling lines include machinery that accurately fills bottles with liquid. This process may involve measuring volumes precisely to ensure consistency across batches.
- Capping: After filling, bottles move to capping machines to securely seal them. This step ensures product freshness and prevents leakage during storage and transportation.
- Labelling: Bottles then pass through labelling equipment that applies branded labels with product information, barcodes and potentially other regulatory details too. This step is crucial for marketing, traceability and legal compliance.
- Packaging: Once labelled, bottles are typically grouped into packs (such as cartons or cases) for more efficient handling and distribution. Automated packaging equipment streamlines this process, ensuring products are ready for shipment quickly and safely.
The expected lifespan of a bottling line system can vary depending on several factors, including the maintenance practices used in the facility, and the operational conditions they need to work in. Generally, a well-maintained and modern bottling line system can have a lifespan ranging from 10 to 20 years or more. Below, we’ll break down a few of the most common factors for increasing the lifespan of conveyor equipment.
Maintenance Practices: Bottling lines are required to follow strict hygiene standards and washdown procedures. Regular maintenance, including lubrication, cleaning and periodic inspection, is crucial for extending the lifespan of equipment. Proper upkeep prevents premature wear and identifies potential issues early. MCL offers easy, ongoing maintenance as part of our proactive service.
Operational Conditions: Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity levels and exposure to corrosive substances can impact equipment durability too. Systems operating in more controlled environments typically experience less wear and tear.
Usage Intensity: The frequency and intensity of use also affects lifespan. High-volume production lines may experience more rapid wear on some components compared to lower-volume operations.
