Counter-pressure filling
Counter-pressure filling machines for carbonated drinks.
Use counter-pressure filling when a carbonated drink needs pressure control during the fill.
Customer route
Choose the equipment around the drink, pack and output.
Counter-pressure filling helps keep CO₂ in solution by pressurising the container before or during filling. It is commonly considered for beer, cider, soda, sparkling water, kombucha, seltzer and other fizzy drinks where foam and carbonation loss are concerns.

Specification notes
Useful points before requesting a quote.
Why it matters
Open filling can release CO₂ too quickly. Counter-pressure filling reduces breakout by keeping the product under pressure.
Bottle route
Glass and PET bottle projects must also consider the cap type, bottle stability and headspace.
Can route
Can filling must be matched with seaming so the filled can is closed quickly and consistently.
