Complete filling lines for food in glass jars
Individually planned. Modularly designed. Tailored to your product and your production output.
Machines4FoodIndustry plans and implements complete filling lines for food products in jars and cans. From cleaning empty packaging and dosing solid, liquid, or pasty products to automatic lid feeding and secure sealing, all stations are integrated into a coordinated production process.
The system design is based on your product, your glass and lid formats, the required output, and the downstream pasteurization or sterilization process. Existing machines can be integrated into the new line concept.

Filling line for mushrooms in jars – complete process in the video
This modular filling line connects all stations, from the cleaned empty container to the securely sealed jar. In the process shown, mushrooms, spices, carrots, and infusion are dispensed sequentially and then sealed with twist-off lids.
The line includes:
- Rinsers for cleaning empty glasses with water, compressed air, steam or sterile air
- Automatic dosing of pepper, allspice, mustard seeds and other spices
- manual workstation for additional ingredients
- Volume dispenser for whole or sliced mushrooms
- Liquid filler with level control for brine, vinegar, marinade or oil
- automatic lid sorting and lid feeding
- Twist-off sealing machine
- Conveyor technology for a continuous production flow
The system can be adapted to other chunky or difficult-to-dose foods, for example vegetables, olives, legumes, sausage pieces, crabs or nuts.
What distinguishes a filling machine from a complete filling line?
A single filling machine handles a specific process step, such as the dosing of sauce, vegetables, or brine. A complete filling line connects several machines, workstations, and transport systems into a continuous production process.
Depending on the application, a filling line can include cleaning the packaging, various dosing processes, manual additions, control systems, automatic lid feeding, closing technology, labeling, as well as grouping and packaging the finished jars.

Modules of a complete bottling line
1. Clean glasses, bottles or cans
Rinsers and cleaning systems remove foreign matter from empty packaging. Depending on the product and hygiene concept, cleaning can be carried out with water, compressed air, steam, or sterile air.
Cleaning systems and rinsers →
2. Dosage of spices and chunky foods
Product-specific dosing systems process, among other things, spices, vegetables, mushrooms, olives, legumes, pieces of meat, nuts, and other chunky foods. The choice of dosing method depends on the size of the pieces, their stickiness, moisture content, and the desired fill quantity.
Dosing systems for chunky foods →
3. Filling liquid, pasty and viscous products
Various filling methods are available for brine, vinegar, oil, marinades, sauces, soups, spreads, and other liquid or pasty food products. Filling valves, product tanks, and agitators are tailored to the specific consistency and process requirements.

- Bottling plants for sauces →
- Soup filling machines →
4. Sort and automatically place lids
Lid sorters and feeding systems handle the automatic singulation, alignment, and placement of twist-off lids. Storage containers and feeders are designed according to lid format and required line output.
Lid feed and closing technology →
5. Securely close the jars.
Depending on the product and preservation process, sealing is carried out without a vacuum, with steam injection, or as a cold vacuum process. The sealing machine is tailored to the glass, lid, product temperature, and downstream process.

6. Transport, inspect and pack
Conveyor belts, buffer sections, rotary tables, control systems, and packaging robots connect the individual stations and ensure a stable material flow. Existing system components can be taken into account and integrated into the layout.
From product idea to running bottling line
1. Clarify requirements
We record product, piece size and consistency, fill quantity, packaging and lid formats, desired output, available production area and the intended shelf-life method.
2. Test the product and packaging
For demanding applications, we test the product, jars, and lids under realistic conditions. This allows the dosing and sealing concept to be verified before the final design.
3. Develop the line concept and layout
The necessary machines, workstations, conveyor routes, and buffer zones are integrated into a coordinated process. Existing machinery and spatial constraints are taken into account during the planning phase.
4. Manufacture, integrate and commission
Once the concept is approved, the components are manufactured, assembled, and tested. Installation, commissioning, and training are planned on a project-specific basis.
5. Expand production
Thanks to its modular design, the line can later be supplemented with additional dosing units, control systems, labeling or automatic final packaging.

Frequently asked questions about complete bottling lines
Which food products can be processed with a filling line?
The production lines are designed for each specific product. Possible applications range from liquid and pasty foods such as brine, oil, sauces, soups, honey, or jam to solid products such as vegetables, mushrooms, olives, pieces of meat, nuts, or delicatessen items.
Can existing machines be integrated into a new production line?
Yes. Existing filling machines, cappers, conveyor technology or other components can be integrated into a new line layout after technical review.
What production output is possible?
The achievable output depends on the product, fill quantity, packaging format, number of filling stations, and degree of automation. Therefore, line output is always calculated for the specific application.
Is a modular bottling line also suitable for growing businesses?
Yes. A line can initially be set up with the necessary core modules and later expanded to include additional dosing units, automatic lid feeding, control systems or final packaging.
What information is needed to prepare a quote?
At a minimum, the following information is required: product description, fill quantity, jar and lid sizes, desired output, and details of the pasteurization or sterilization process. For complex applications, product and packaging samples as well as a facility layout are required.
