Bottling

At the end of the entire Spirit Production process, on last step remains.

We need to put a Product on the market, and as such, that Product requires Bottling.

What Equipment do I need to Bottle Spirits?

As much as we might wish it to be simple, there are more steps in the Bottling Process than most people are aware of.

1. 1. Bottles need to be washed or rinsed prior to filling to remove debris and dirt from them, hence we need a Bottle Rinser
2. 2. Although Bottle Filling by hand might seem very "Crafty", it soon becomes a bottleneck to production (pun intended). Bottles need to be filled either by Volume or by Level using a Bottle Filler.
3. 3. Closures need to be applied. If these are normal Bartop Closures it can be done by hand, hence no special equipment is needed. But if they are ROPP (Roll-On Pilfer Proof) Closures, otherwise known as Screw-tops, you will require a ROPP Capper.
4. 4. If not using a ROPP Capper, there is still a legal requirement that Closures are Pilfer Proof. Shrink Wrap Seals or Wax will then be needed to comply, so you will need either a Heat Shrink Gun or a Wax Melting Pot.
5. 5. Labels need to be applied and depending on the type of Bottle you choose to use, you might need a Round Bottle Labeller or a Flat Bottle Labeler. If you are however using a more intricate or abnormal bottle shape, you might be limited to Hand Labeling.
6. 6. Our final requirement is space - space to Bottle and Label - ideally enough that a single person can work efficiently without having to take one bottle at a time through the entire process, hence Bottling Tables provide stable workspaces, easy to clean, and heavy-duty.

Other additional pieces of Equipment may be required from time to time, depending on Layout and Operations.
