Modification of the filler at Rocchetta completed in just 10 days
The project involved modifying the filler discharge system by developing a new transfer system that enabled an additional 90-degree rotation of the bottles along the production line.
The solution was designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing layout, ensuring plant operational continuity and compliance with the required schedule.
From the analysis phase to final delivery, the entire project was completed in just 10 days, making it possible to quickly adapt the production line without significant impact on the plant’s operations.
BBM carries out modifications and optimizations on existing bottling plants
Projects such as this highlight BBM’s added value: the ability to provide tailor-made engineering solutions, going beyond remanufacturing and revamping activities to modify, integrate and optimize existing plants, regardless of the original manufacturer.
Thanks to a highly flexible approach, BBM can analyze production requirements, develop dedicated solutions and complete projects within extremely short lead times, ensuring production continuity, reliability and maximum efficiency for its customers.
Interventions on beverage machines from different manufacturers
The extensive experience gained on different types of bottling equipment enables BBM to work on plants supplied by third-party manufacturers as well.
Technical know-how that allows BBM to handle different configurations, quickly understand the characteristics of the equipment installed on the line and carry out targeted interventions on the various plant components.

Frequently asked questions about bottling line modification
Is it possible to modify an existing bottling line instead of installing a new one?
Yes. Many bottling lines can be upgraded or modified to accommodate new products, bottle formats or production requirements, reducing investment costs, implementation times and plant downtime.
Can BBM also work on machines it did not originally supply?
Yes. BBM also operates on plants and machines manufactured by other suppliers, developing customized solutions based on the customer’s production requirements.
What modifications can be made to a bottling line?
Interventions may involve transfer systems, format changeovers, container handling, mechanical upgrades, integration of new components and optimization of the existing layout.
How long does a bottling line modification take?
Lead times depend on the complexity of the project. Proper planning, however, makes it possible to minimize plant downtime and ensure a rapid restart of production.
Does BBM also design and manufacture the necessary mechanical components?
Yes. BBM can manage the entire project, from technical analysis and design through to the manufacturing and installation of the new components.
