About

U.S. Bottlers
Machinery Company

Our passion is to be original in our designs and judged by our results.

U.S. Bottlers Machinery Company was founded four generations ago by an inventor who wanted to create one-of-a-kind machines for the packaging industry to fill the needs of our growing economy. Today we thrive because we continue to follow some of these same basic concepts.

What my great grandfather found a passion for was what we are still passionate about today – and that is to be original in our designs and our ideas, and to be judged by our implementation and our results. Customers continue to have very custom needs and require a team that understands how to creatively meet those requirements. That is our niche. We are still inventors. That is how we engage with our clients.

We look at challenges as opportunities. We employ, in-house, the latest design technologies and over a hundred years of experience and business ethics. Whatever your package challenges, we believe we can offer you a fresh perspective on how to approach them, and always in a straightforward and honest manner.”

Being a manufacturer of custom-built equipment gives us the advantage of providing our customers with a final product that is best-suited to the unique specifications of the company and the application(s) involved. From start to finish, we go through a detail-oriented process to ensure that every component is the most appropriate for the products, applications and specifications presented. This process starts with our Sales team, who review the parameters of the project to make sure the proper machine is quoted to meet the needs of the customer.  Once an order is received, all details are communicated internally and carried out by the Project Management, Engineering, Manufacturing and Customer Care departments. It is truly a team effort between all departments to promote a successful project, and a high-quality final product that is shipped and supported by our team afterward to maintain a reliable, productive machine thereafter.

Beverages

What goes into the container is ultimately what the consumer tastes and a large factor in the impressions formed of your brand. Beverage manufacturers have consistently trusted U.S. Bottlers to provide the equipment to carry out their rinsing, filling and capping processes. Juices, isotonics, teas and other non-carbonated beverages are common products that our machines package.  Machines are custom-designed based on the parameters of your project including product characteristics, desired production speed, container size and material.

Distilled Beverage

For 100 years, U.S. Bottlers has supplied quality vacuum and gravity fillers, as well as cappers to the largest companies in the distilled spirits industry. This means we understand the special requirements of the industry, and can provide the proper equipment to rinse, fill and cap your bottles, while preserving sterility and reducing proof loss.

Food

From sauces and syrups, to pickles, peanuts and preserves, we can provide an innovative solution to meet your needs. U.S. Bottlers has over 1000 machines active in the field today, and our machines are able to package foods with varying properties. When it comes to food, whether it’s extended shelf life, CIP-capability, HEPA filtration or other requirements, we work with you to provide a proper solution.

Automotive & Chemical

Automotive products, and chemicals are often aggressive and corrosive substances. U.S. Bottlers is intimately familiar with these products and the materials that can withstand them. Oils, acids, bleaches and solvents all have specific requirements. We are able to meet these requirements by providing corrosion resistant packages on different machine components, Class 1 Div 1 and Class 1 Div 2 control packages, and under-deck gearing to reduce lubrication dilution, just to name a few.

Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical

Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical products often have stringent requirements in terms of cleanliness and filling accuracy.  This is why a large majority of the machines we build for these applications are non-contact, volumetric fillers (Flow Meter Filler), with positive valve shut-off for a clean fill with no return product.  We also are able to provide machine components in a material of the customer’s specification, such as 316L stainless steel product contact parts.  We can also provide HEPA-filtered filling enclosures for a cleaner filling environment.  We take a detailed-oriented approach to design, assemble and test the machine to meet the exact specifications that are set forth by our customers at the beginning of the project.

Cosmetic & Personal Care

No other market presents a greater challenge than cosmetic and personal care. Machinery must be made to the utmost level of flexibility, because production runs vary in container, cap, product viscosity, and the opportunity for carryover. U.S. Bottlers has vast experience in this market, providing clients with machinery suited to mascara, deodorant, lotions and cremes. Each machine is custom-designed for quick changeover, cleaning and maintenance.
