Olive oil producer shipping in containers and tanks
Filling 20-30 Litre Olive Oil Containers
The bottling line was built for 1 and 5 litre packs. The 20-30 kg containers and tank shipments did not fit it, so a compact machine took that work beside the line.

Situation
In the same harvest a producer ships retail bottles and wholesale containers. The line was set for small packs and was not efficient on 20-30 litre containers.
A full container is heavy. Carrying it to the line added labour and risk, and during harvest the line was busy, so container orders kept slipping.
- –20-30 kg containers did not fit the line
- –Moving full containers added labour and risk
- –Line capacity was taken during harvest
- –Container shipments kept being postponed
Solution
A compact SORM machine was installed beside the line. Filling happens at pallet level: no unloading, no forklift trip to the line.
Flow-meter dosing holds the target volume as oil temperature and viscosity shift between batches, and the same machine covers both 20 and 30 litre containers.
- ✓Pallet-level container filling
- ✓Flow-meter volumetric accuracy
- ✓One machine for 20-30 litres
- ✓Parallel output without stopping bottling
Result
Container shipping now runs at its own station. The bottling line keeps running and the two jobs proceed in parallel during harvest.
With full containers no longer moved, labour and tipping risk dropped. The same setup suits liquid fertiliser and vegetable oil.
