Back in Stock - FILL-BOSS COUNTER PRESSURE BOTTLE AND GROWLER FILLER (VERSION 3)

  Available from Brew Boss Counter Pressure Bottle/Growler Fillers & Equipment

FILL-BOSS COUNTER PRESSURE BOTTLE AND GROWLER FILLER (VERSION 3)

https://www.brew-boss.com/Fill-Boss-V3-Counter-Pressure-Bottle-Filler-p/fill-bossv3.htm





FILL-BOSS COUNTER PRESSURE BOTTLE AND GROWLER FILLER

Fill-Boss is the first "Automated" counter pressure bottle filler that is affordable enough to be purchased by home brewers but strong and fast enough to be used by nano and micro brewery operations as well. It is built like a tank from laser cut and formed 12 gauge 304 stainless steel. Fill-Boss is microprocessor controlled, so it fills bottles and growlers to exactly the right level every time, just by pressing one button! The simple design can be used for nano and microbrewery operations as well as brew-pubs that want to add inexpensive bottling and growler filling to their operations.

The innovative spring loaded adjustment system can adjust to most bottle sizes, including 1.5l wine bottles and growlers!

  • Spill free automated counter pressure filling. 
  • Handles bottles from 8 to 14 inches tall and 5 inches in diameter. 
  • Maximum fill pressure is 30 psi for standard beer/wine bottles. Max pressure is lower for growlers and other vessels with larger openings. 
  • Handles bottles with openings from 0.75" to 1.25" with supplied silicone bottle seal (larger sizes with standard drilled rubber stoppers - not included see description below) 
  • Bottle non-carbonated or fully carbonated beverages from 5 Gallon Cornelius Kegs (Cornelius Keg, CO2 tank, and regulator required but not included) or from your brite tank or other storage vessel. (Note: This device does not actually carbonate your beverage. It allows you to fill bottles and growlers with a carbonated beverage with minimal foaming or losing carbonation) 
  • Programmable Fill Speed. 
  • Includes Ball Lock connectors and tubing for Ball-Lock Cornelius kegs or 1/4" NPT Threaded Quick Connect fittings for connecting to other vessels. 
  • Contact us for special connections for Sanke Kegs and Brite Tanks. We will find a way to connect to your vessel! 

We've received calls from a prospective customers asking "what is wrong with these units?" Why are they 1/3 the cost of other automatic fillers? The reason Fill-Boss is less costly than other options is that it was designed from the ground up to be an affordable and reliable filler. We use the Fill-Boss in our brew-on-premise operation daily and it has never hiccuped! One Fill-Boss commercial customer reports a 3-1/2 day payback when he switched to Fill-Boss! Yes, it is for real!

If you need more than one filler unit, we offer quantity discounts automatically applied.

1 or 2 units = list price

3 or 4 units = 10% discount

5+ units = 15% discount

There are several connection options to allow you to use the Fill-Boss with various beverage vessels. The Fill-Boss requires two connections, one for the CO2 (gas) supply and the other for the beverage. It is important that the pressure on the gas line match the pressure in the beverage vessel.

We have standardized on the Ball-Lock type connectors for the Fill-Boss as they are quick connect/disconnect and are self sealing with integrated valves (See Ball-Lock Post Adapters Option Below). Ball lock connections are included with every Fill-Boss unit but we offer other connection options as described below.

We also offer a Multi-Filler Kit that allows up to 4 Fill-Boss Fillers to be ganged off a common source. Most commercial operations have from 2 to 4 fillers ganged together to increase production. We have found that we can fill about 2 cases of standard 12 ounce bottles in 20-30 minutes with 2 people and two fillers. One person fills and the other caps, labels, wipes, and places in case. We have a customer filling 22 ounce bomber bottles and they report being able to do 1 case (12 bottles) every 10 minutes with 2 fillers and 2 people.

Background

We are Brew-Boss.  For over 6 years we've been producing the most automated electric beer brewing system available.  Our systems are designed for homebrewers and nano/micro breweries.   Brew-boss was started by an automation engineer with the goal of bringing commercial brewing automation to homebrewers and small production breweries. We've introduced many new innovative brewing products to the market including:
  • Brew-Boss (1st electric brewing system to be automated with an Android App that talks users through the brewing process)
  • Brew-Boss Pro (Automated nano-brewing system)
  • Accu-Fill Pro (Automated Kettle Filler)
  • Condenser-Boss (Steam condenser eliminates need for a ventilation hood)
  • Swirl-Boss (Whirlpool device that minimizes debris into fermenter)
  • Hops-Boss (Automated hops dispenser)
  • COFI Filter (Single vessel passive grain squeeze mash filter)
  • Fill-Boss Automated Bottle Filler (mentioned below)
We've been producing a semi-automated bottle filler (Fill-Boss) for several years and numerous
customers have asked us for a more automated system that also caps the bottle.  Our Fill-Boss  counter pressure bottle filler retails for 1/3 the cost of competing products, does way more, and has been our biggest seller.  We've been working on a fully automated product design and several prototypes and after nearly 2 years we've built a functional prototype and want to release the product as quickly as we can.  We call this new product Fill-Boss Pro.  It is designed from the ground up to be a low cost and reliable bottle filling solution.  We designed using the knowledge gained in producing the Fill-Boss as well as with the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid).  The conveyor indexing technology, bottle clamping technology, and cap feeder are revolutionary designs that we've seen nowhere else.  These simple designs keep the cost low and simple means reliable!  
The prototype has shown us that the concept is viable and it works much better than we ever anticipated.  We ran the prototype shown in the demo for over 20 days straight at 1 point without a single failed fill.  The prototype shown in the video is a single head design, but we have already completed the engineering design of a 2 head and a 4 head design (see graphics below).  The parts used on the multiple head designs are the same as those used on the single head design, so there are no "unknowns" when this is scaled up to multiple heads. 
The Fill-Boss Pro uses counter pressure fill technology.  This means that the bottle is pressurized to the same pressure as the beverage tank (keg or brite tank) prior to filling.  Typically the bottle is purged of oxygen (air) by filling it first with CO2 until all the air is forced out.  CO2 is heavier than air so when introduced to the bottle, the CO2 settles to the bottom.  After the air is purged, the bottle is pressurized with CO2 until the pressure reaches the same pressure as the beverage keg or brite tank.  Flow of beverage is then allowed to flow into the bottle and pressure is gradually released from the bottle allowing the CO2 to escape and beverage to replace it.  This process of filling under pressure reduces foaming greatly. 
The filler is completely adjustable, allowing it to fill nearly any crown cap type bottle.  The innovative fill head design on the Fill-Boss Pro dispenses the beverage along the inside walls of the bottle, further preventing foaming and increasing flow rates of beverage.
One of the KISS features of the Fill-Boss Pro is the ability to invert the bottles beneath the indexing conveyor.  This was made possible by an innovative linkage mechanism that clamps the bottles, regardless of the diameter, exactly in the center of the conveyor link.  This is required to assure alignment with the fill head, capper, and sanitizer.  This bottle clamp design automatically releases at the load/unload position allowing the user to easily remove filled bottles and replace them with an empty bottle.  When the conveyor indexes, the bottle is automatically clamped and eventually conveyed to the underside of the conveyor.
The prototype also does not show the automated sanitizing feature of the machine. The computer models shown below show the unique dual tray feature that allows us to sanitize the bottles automatically as they are inverted under the conveyor.  The lower tray is filled with sanitizing solution.  When the inverted bottles pause above the sanitizing positions, the high pressure pump forces a jet of sanitizer into the bottle(s).  The upper tray captures any drips coming from the filler itself and keeps contaminants out of the sanitizer.
We've spent considerable time developing a cap feeder that we have not shown in this video as it is so unique, we don't want to risk others copying the design before we get this to market!  The prototype shows the magnetic capping head, but as the prototype was designed to test the reliability of the system, we excluded showing the actual capping as the bottles are simply emptied when they get inverted and filled again when they are presented to the filler.  That allowed us to stress test the system without the need to remove caps.  
We've found the maximum fill rate to be about 120 bottles per hour per fill head, so the 2 head would be 240 bottles/hr and the 4 head 480 bottles/hr.  This is the maximum rate and should only be expected for non-carbonated beverages or low foam beverages.  The fill rate is decreased for beverages that foam considerably as the bottles must be filled slower.
