Setting up a hot fill bottling system
We make cocktail syrups at my distillery in addition to spirits. We’ve been using a 5 gallon brew kettle on an induction plate to heat our syrups and then bottle them through a small ball valve. We fill 8oz bottles and use plastisol-lined screw caps. I need a larger more robust set up, about 25 gallons. I’m thinking ideally we’d use an electric jacketed kettle with a small ball valve with a nozzle that can fill a bottle with a 28mm opening.
Does anyone else make syrups and have some equipment or production tips they can give me?
TIA!

You can put heat tape around the hopper to keep it warm/hot and/or draw from another tank.

Look at maple syrup packaging equipment, Bascom’s has used equipment but this is the busy season so they might not be too helpful.

I dont have it around anymore but we rigged up a foot operated valve with a TC fitting and a 90 elbow hose barb which worked great for filling syrup bottles.

Hi Calwise – we offer a great Bottle Filler for thicker products, such as syrups, oils, shrubs, etc… for mini sized (50ml Airline bottles) and up. Send me an email – steve@crusystems.com
