How Work Bottled Filling Mahines
If the bottles are new and unused, rinse them with hot water and dry them
. If the bottles are used, soak them in a cleaning solution recommended by a wine-making supply shop. Then rinse them with water and dry. Be sure the bottles are completely dry.A filling machines comprising a rotatable assembly having a central axis and rotatable thereon, said rotatable assembly having entrance means positioned to receive bottles from the upstream side of a conveyor, discharge means to discharge said bottles to the downstream side of a said conveyor, power means to rotate said rotatable assembly on said central axis through a rotational pathway, rotational drive and support means to continuously move said bottles around said rotational pathway supported with their longitudinal axis radially directed toward said central axis of said rotatable assembly and their entrance apertures facing toward said central axis,
said rotational pathway having a bottle inverted portion between the nine o'clock and three o'clock positions moving clockwise from the nine o'clock to three o'clock position, a bottle filling portion between the three o'clock and nine o'clock positions moving clockwise from the three o'clock to nine o'clock position, and filling means to fill said bottles with a selected fluid material only while being continuously moved through at least a part of said bottled water equipment of said rotational pathway, said filling means including fluid conduit means to flow fluid into said bottles while they are being rotated.
Prepare new corks by soaking them in water for 1 to 2 hours, then rinsing them several times with warm water.
Prepare used corks by soaking, boiling gently, then rinsing with hot water. Finish with a cold-water rinse.
Place the bottles below the wine container.

A filling machines as set forth in claim 1, wherein said filling means includes a valve assembly, said valve assembly includes a first inlet port connected to a supply of selected fluid material with which said bottles are to be filled, outlet port means for discharging a portion of said selected fluid material to each of said bottles while being continuously moved through at least a part of said bottle filling portion of said rotational pathway, said fluid conduit means being connected between said outlet port means and each one of said bottles to continuously rotate with said bottles and carry respective portions of said selected fluid material to fill respective ones of said bottles while they are being rotated.
Insert the notched end of the siphon tube into the container of wine. Be sure the tube isn't touching the bottom of the container.
Suck on the other end of the tube until the wine begins to flow. Then insert the tube into a bottle.
A filling machines as set forth in claim 2, wherein said valve assembly includes a valve plate, said first inlet port extending through said valve plate, said outlet port means includes a rotatable valve member connected to continuously rotate with said rotatable assembly, said rotatable valve member having a rotatable wall with a bearing surface to face and bear against said valve plate and an oppositely facing surface, a plurality of first discharge apertures extending through said rotatable valve member opening inwardly to said bearing surface of said rotatable wall and spaced apart radially around said rotatable wall in a first circular pathway therearound, said first inlet port through said valve plate being positioned to face said first circular pathway and for registration with each one of said first discharge apertures as they are rotated in said first circular pathway with said rotatable valve member and said rotatable assembly.
Fill up bottles to 3/4 inch below the bottom of the cork.
Use a corking machine to insert the corks into the bottles. Corking machines can be rented from wine-making supply shops.
Bottle filling machines as set forth in claim 3, wherein said valve plate includes a bearing surface to face and bear against said bearing surface of said rotatable valve member, said valve plate being secured in a fixed position on said bottle filling machine coaxially with said central axis of said rotatable assembly and with said rotational pathway in which said rotatable assembly is rotated, said first inlet aperture being located radially in line with said three o'clock position of said rotational pathway to feed selected fluid filling material to and through said first discharge apertures in said first circular pathway of said rotatable valve member for feeding into said bottles as they are continuously rotated past the said three o'clock position moving clockwise.
