Replacement Parts for Beverage Filling and Bottling Lines

UM supplies and manufactures replacement parts for beverage filling, capping and container-handling equipment. The section helps bottlers and maintenance teams find support by machine brand, including Sidel, Krones, KHS, Sassib, Zalkin and Arol applications. Beverage filling machine parts must be matched to the process, product and container.

Parts Across the Wet End of a Bottling Line

A beverage line may rinse or treat containers, fill them with product, apply closures and transfer them through multiple machines or integrated blocks. Each step depends on components that handle bottles and caps accurately while maintaining the required process and sanitation conditions.

Typical requests may include filling-valve components, product-contact parts, seals, guides, starwheel and transfer components, grippers, neck-handling parts, capping heads, cap-handling components, change parts, bushings, rollers, pins and other precision-machined items. The applicable materials and finishes depend on whether a component contacts product, cleaning chemicals, closures or only the external container.

Machine Compatibility and Hygienic Requirements

Beverage and filling parts cannot be selected by dimensions alone. The machine model, product, container material, closure type, cleaning method and operating environment may all affect the specification. Components used in product-contact or washdown areas may require material and surface requirements that differ from a general mechanical part.

When requesting a replacement, identify whether the component belongs to the rinser, filler, capper, transfer system, cap feeder or a combined machine block. Also note whether the line handles water, carbonated beverages, juice, dairy products, edible oil or another liquid, without assuming that one design is interchangeable across applications.

Prepare for Planned and Unplanned Maintenance

Frequently changed wear parts should be documented by machine, location and format. Critical components with long identification or manufacturing lead times should be reviewed before a shutdown whenever possible.

UM can evaluate catalogue references, drawings, photographs and samples. For obsolete or undocumented items, reverse engineering or 3D scanning may help recreate the technical definition, provided the function, material and critical interfaces can be confirmed.

Frequently asked questions

What types of bottling-line parts can UM evaluate?

UM can evaluate mechanical, handling, filling, capping and change-part requirements, including guides, grippers, starwheel components, valve parts, capper components, pins, bushings and rollers. Product-contact applications require additional information about material, finish, cleaning and process conditions. Identify whether each component is dry-area, washdown-area or product-contact.

Can UM make change parts for a new bottle format?

A change-part project may be evaluated using bottle drawings, samples, machine information and existing format components. The scope can involve guides, stars, screws, grippers or other handling parts. Accurate container geometry and machine timing relationships are important before manufacturing begins.
