Back to Top

Customer Overview: South African CBD Distillate Manufacturer

This Dropper Bottle Filling Machine case study focuses on a South African CBD and cannabis distillate producer specialising in premium oil products for health and wellness applications.

The business required a hygienic, accurate, and high-speed bottling solution for small glass dropper bottles in 30ml and 50ml formats while maintaining strict product handling standards.

The Challenge: Hygienic High-Speed Small Bottle Filling

The customer required a complete automated solution capable of:

  • Filling CBD distillate into 30ml and 50ml glass dropper bottles
  • Achieving production speeds of 25 bottles per minute
  • Ensuring hygienic handling of glass containers
  • Adding sterilisation prior to filling
  • Maintaining precise dosing for viscous liquid products
  • Integrating filling, capping, and labelling into one line

A key requirement was the inclusion of sterilisation to ensure product safety and compliance with hygiene expectations.

The Solution: Dropper Bottle Filling, Capping & Labelling Line with UV Sterilisation

To meet these requirements, a complete system was supplied including:

  • Dropper Bottle Filling Machine
  • Automatic capping machine
  • Labelling machine
  • UV sterilisation tunnel

This Small Bottle Filling Machine solution was selected for its ability to:

  • Accurately fill 30ml and 50ml CBD oil bottles
  • Handle viscous distillate products
  • Sterilise bottles prior to filling using UV technology
  • Maintain consistent production at 25 bottles per minute
  • Integrate into a compact automated bottling line

The system provided a complete end-to-end solution for essential oil and CBD bottle packaging.

Implementation Process: Testing and Machine Recommendation

The implementation process included detailed product validation and engineering consultation.

Key steps included:

  • Customer supplying sample dropper bottles for testing
  • Sending samples to the factory in China for evaluation
  • Reviewing product viscosity and filling behaviour
  • Recommending the most suitable machine configuration
  • Finalising the complete filling, capping, and labelling line

This ensured the system was correctly matched to both bottle type and product characteristics.

Results: Full Line Purchased and Commissioned

Following successful evaluation:

  • The full Dropper Bottle Filling Machine line was purchased
  • The system was installed and commissioned in South Africa
  • Minor adjustments were made due to recipe changes requiring heat filling
  • The machine was successfully brought into stable production
  • The customer achieved full automated bottling capability

Customer Feedback

The customer confirmed the system is running well after installation. Minor tuning was required due to changes in product viscosity and heat filling requirements, but the line is now operational and stable.
