Navan Machine’s technical team visited MATI during our ongoing Navan African Client Tour. The complete line was operating at peak productivity, filling vodka, gin, and specialty spirits in high-grade glass bottles with zero downtime.
This project covers full glass bottle liquor filling workflow, built for high stability to meet local spirits manufacturing demand. From manufacturing, shipment, field installation to after-sales return visit, Navan Machine provides full lifecycle service for African beverage producers.
Our Africa customer visit tour is still ongoing. We keep delivering reliable filling & packaging machinery and local after-sales support for beverage manufacturers across Africa.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can one glass bottle filling machine handle different spirits like Vodka, Gin, and Brandy?
Yes. As long as the viscosity and alcohol percentage remain within standard liquid ranges, the line cleans efficiently via integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems and smoothly fills vodka, gin, brandy, or rum.
Q2: How does Navan Machine protect glass bottles from shattering during high-speed filling?
Our machines feature pneumatic bottle-upward lifting cylinders equipped with flexible rubber dampeners. The starwheels and guide plates are lined with high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) to absorb mechanical impacts during transfer.
Q3: What downstream equipment completes a turnkey spirits packaging line?
A complete turnkey packaging setup includes the Glass Bottle Rinsing-Filling-Capping Monoblock, Capsule Shrink Sleeving / Heat Tunnel, Adhesive / Hot Melt Glue Labeler, Laser Date Code Printer, and Automatic Case Packer or Shrink Wrapper, Palletizer.
