Rigid Glass Jars vs Inverted No-Mess PET Squeeze Bottles
Retail honey shelves are dominated by two rigid formats—classic glass round/hexagonal jars sealed with metal twist-off lug lids, and inverted PET/HDPE squeeze bottles fitted with silicone cross-slit valves and induction foil liners. Within honey packaging lines, one servo piston filler platform can run both formats when paired with dual-mode capping and multi-facet labeling stations.

Inline Servo Piston Honey Bottling Head-Count Scaling
Published 500 ml baseline speeds across VK/FA/BG servo piston frames (0.6 MPa air, 220V/380V):
| Piston Head Count | 500 ml Honey Jar Speed | Fill Cylinder Options | Matched Downstream Capper |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Head Servo Inline | 14–20 jars/min | 50–500 ml or 100–1,000 ml | Single-head chuck or semi-auto vacuum capper |
| 4–6 Head Servo Inline | 24–42 jars/min | 100–1,000 ml / up to 5,000 ml | Automatic JVC-40 vacuum lug or 4-wheel spindle |
| 8–10 Head Servo Inline | 48–60 jars/min | 100–1,000 ml | High-speed rotary chuck / inline spindle + induction |
| 12–16 Head Dual-Lane / Servo | 65–80+ jars/min | 100–1,000 ml | Rotary multi-head capper + dual-head labeler |

Honey Packaging Engineering Notes
- Independent Per-Head HMI Trim: Fine-tune individual cylinder stroke offsets by 0.1 g right from the touchscreen without touching wrenches.
- Drip Collection Tray Interlock: Pneumatic catch-trays slide automatically beneath nozzles during container indexing just in case warm thin batches weep.
- Hexagonal & Bear Bottle Orientation: Side-belt alignment guides register six-sided hex jars and sculpted honey-bear bottles cleanly before front/back/neck-tamper label application.
