Bottle Filling Machine
Highly efficient bottle filling machine
with a broad of range of applications
Our latest evolutionary development the – Leibinger MULTIMA 2in1 bottle filling machine– can change from bottling mode to canning mode within one hour or less. You just have to exchange some minor parts. The Multima 2-in-1 is a counter-pressure long-tube filler. It can be used for various bottle and can formats. If ordered with rinser, the bottles are also rinsed. The can seamer is included; optionally, a crown capper and/or a screw capper can be ordered.
The Multima 2in1 uses the same infeed peripherals for cans and bottles. The outlet is separated into a bottle outlet and a separate can outlet after the capper.
Due to its open construction the Multima 2in1 bottle filling machine complies with the basic idea of the Hygienic design. Leibinger fillers are all designed and built as mechanically as possible so that the recommended annual maintenance service can be carried out by an experienced technician.

Manufacturing
Leibinger canning machines are 100% assembled in our own factory. The materials used are predominantly made of stainless steel and food-grade plastics and elastomers. We take care to consult only local manufacturers and thus further strengthen the economy of our location.
CIP
Our bottle filling machine is CIP capable. It is possible to clean the machine with acid and alkali concentrations as well as with steam thanks to a closed circuit system equipped with rinsing caps and sealing materials.
Panel
The Siemens-based control system can be operated intuitively, similar to a smartphone. The machine can be operated via the HOME button.
Safety housing
We use a free-standing safety enclosure made of frameless non-splintering safety glass (Makrolon). All bottle filling machine areas are accessible through electrically and mechanically secured doors.

The bubble breaker blows off the upper, oxygen-contaminated foam layer by means of a targeted CO₂ jet. This prevents oxygenation.
In the CO₂ tunnel, the open cans are transported to the capper without the product becoming oxygen-conterminated.
The can shower rinses the can after the filling and sealing process to remove impurities from the can and lid.
The can stop prevents further cans from running in after the filling process has been stopped in the normal way. This prevents open, filled bottles from remaining in the filler carousel. The filler runs empty.
The bottle shower washes off the bottle after the filling and capping process to remove impurities from the bottles and lids.
The bottle stop prevents further bottles from running in after the filling process has been stopped in the normal way. This prevents open, filled bottles from remaining in the filler carousel. The filler runs empty.
The HDE (high pressure injection) causes a virtually imperceptible jet of water to be shot into the product. This causes the product to foam which displaces the oxygen to the top. Due to the low oxygen exposure, the product retains a long shelf life.
Carousel spraying is used for the short-term removal of e.g. sticky product residues or broken fragments. The production itself is seldom interrupted.
We use a curved crown corker with 2, 4 or 6 capping stations. Since this operates entirely mechanically, maintenance can be performed directly by the machine operator.
Our bottling / canning valves (long tube) are developed exclusively mechanically. This ensures a long service life on the one hand, and on the other hand allows the machine operator to intervene or repair the machine at any time without a service technician.
The Leibinger base frame eliminated as many horizontal surfaces as possible, allowing excess water or product to drain away at all times. This complies with the idea of the Hygienic Design.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Advanced Insights into Bottle Filling Machines
What are the key advantages of using a counter-pressure filling system in a bottle filling machine?
The Leibinger Multima 2in1 bottle filling machine uses a counter-pressure filling system, which is crucial for preserving carbonation and preventing oxidation in sensitive products such as beer and sparkling beverages. This system ensures that the product is filled under pressure, preventing the foaming that could otherwise compromise quality. By maintaining the product’s integrity during the filling process, it supports the long-term shelf life and taste stability.
How quickly can the Leibinger Multima 2in1 be converted between bottling and canning modes?
One of the standout features of the Leibinger Multima 2in1 bottle filling machine is its fast mode conversion. The machine can switch from bottling to canning mode in under one hour, with minimal adjustments required. This is achieved by swapping out a few key components, which makes it highly efficient for producers who need to alternate between different packaging formats without significant downtime.
How does the Multima 2in1 machine ensure high hygiene standards during production?
The Leibinger Multima 2in1 is designed with a Hygienic Design approach, ensuring that it meets industry standards for cleanliness. The open construction reduces the risk of contamination, and the machine is CIP (Clean-in-Place) capable, allowing for effective cleaning with acidic or alkaline solutions, as well as steam. Additionally, the round tube frame minimizes horizontal surfaces, which helps in the efficient draining of excess water and product, promoting a hygienic production environment.
What technical features make the Leibinger Multima 2in1 suitable for high-efficiency operations?
The Leibinger Multima 2in1 bottle filling machine features a number of advanced technical elements that optimize its efficiency:
- Mechanical filling valves (long-tube): These ensure longevity and allow for easier maintenance by machine operators.
- Carousel spraying: This feature removes sticky residues or broken fragments without disrupting production.
- CO₂ Tunnel: Prevents oxygen contamination during the filling process, preserving product quality.
- Pneumatic container stops: Ensures precise operation, preventing unfilled bottles or cans from entering the system.
How does the Multima 2in1 handle different bottle and can formats?
The Leibinger Multima 2in1 is highly versatile and can handle a wide range of bottle and can formats. This flexibility is achieved by utilizing adjustable format sets and an integrated rinser for bottles. The machine can accommodate different neck diameters and container heights, making it an ideal solution for companies producing various beverage types in diverse container formats.
What is the machine’s output range, and how does it support scalable production?
The Leibinger Multima 2in1 is highly scalable, with an output range from 1,600 to 12,000 containers per hour. This flexibility makes it suitable for both small and large-scale operations. Whether you’re a craft beverage producer or a large commercial bottler, this machine can be adapted to meet your production requirements. It’s particularly advantageous for producers who need to adjust production volume depending on market demands.
How does the Leibinger Multima 2in1 prevent oxygen contamination during the filling process?
Oxygen contamination can compromise the quality of beverages, especially carbonated ones. The Leibinger Multima 2in1 includes a CO₂ Tunnel that prevents oxygen from coming into contact with the product during the transfer from the filler to the capper. Additionally, the Bubble-Breaker uses a targeted CO₂ jet to remove the oxygen-rich foam layer from the top of the liquid, ensuring the product remains free from oxygen contamination.
What are the options for customizing the Leibinger Multima 2in1 bottle filling machine to suit specific production needs?
The Leibinger Multima 2in1 offers several customization options, including:
- Additional format sets for different bottle and can sizes
- Remote access for monitoring and diagnostics
- Optional bottle shower for post-filling cleaning
- High-Pressure Injection (HPI) Heater for filling temperature control
- Pneumatic container stop for precise filling cycle control
These customizations allow for a tailored solution that fits your specific production requirements.
