BREITNER
Packaging machine solutions
for intermittent or continuous filling operations
- Linear filling and closing machines – they operate intermittently.
- Rotary filling and closing machines – they operate continuously.
Here is a closer look at these two operating principles.
The decision: intermittent or continuous?
It depends on numerous parameters of your production, your containers and the product. The production conditions, such as the frequency of batch changes, also play a decisive role here.
We advise you on which process makes the most technical sense for your production, but is also the most economical. In our extensive range of machines, you will find the right machine for your requirements in the optimum design and combination with other machines.
Working in cycles
The cyclical version of our BREITNER filling and capping machines. In this mode of operation, the containers are stopped, filled and capped in cycles – ideal for precise dosing and high process reliability. Cycled machines offer maximum control at each filling station and are particularly suitable for sensitive products or varying container shapes. BREITNER uses this technology specifically to guarantee precise, clean and reproducible results in the chemical, cosmetics and food industries.
Working method continuous
The continuous operation of our BREITNER rotary filling machines, rotary capping machines and monoblock systems. In this mode of operation, the containers are processed in a continuous cycle without stops – ideal for high cycle rates and maximum efficiency. The continuous movement enables particularly gentle product processing, short cycle times and a consistent production flow. With this technology, BREITNER offers high-performance solutions for automated packaging lines with the highest demands on precision and speed.
Intermittent filling & closing operation
In the filling machines, several containers are stopped under the filling nozzles, the filling nozzle lowers into the bottle or canister mouth and the filling process begins. When the container is full, the bottles are transported further.
In the case of the closing machines, each bottle is gripped, stopped and screwed down individually by means of a so-called transport starwheel.
Continuous filling & closing operation
The bottles run continuously through the machine: from the left into the infeed starwheel, in the middle through the central starwheel and on the right via the outfeed starwheel back onto the conveyor belt. The capping spindles work synchronously with the central starwheel; the caps (yellow) are fed in from the right.

Intermittent or continuous –
filling & closing processes with BREITNER
While the cyclical process enables maximum precision for complex closures or special container shapes, the continuous process ensures maximum speed and throughput for standardised formats.
This allows manufacturers to flexibly decide which process best supports their production – from small series to high-performance systems.
