Laboratory Water Bottle Filler

Turn bottle filling into a controlled watering-room process

A laboratory water bottle filler helps animal-care teams move from individual manual filling to a defined rack-based workflow. The scientific value is indirect but important: watering availability, fill consistency, bottle identification, additive control, and clean handling all affect the reliability of husbandry. The equipment should therefore be selected with the animal protocol, water-quality program, bottle fleet, sanitation method, and daily care schedule in view.

The station measures 700 × 750 × 1550 mm and uses a 300 L tank with sanitary clamp-connected piping. Manual and automatic modes are available. In automatic operation, rack placement triggers filling and the cycle stops at the saved target. The catalog states that bottle-fill variation is no more than 5%, but the facility should verify actual performance with its bottle geometry, rack, water conditions, target volume, and inspection method.

Throughput depends on the bottle and rack. Documented configurations range from 36 bottles per fill and 4000 bottles per hour for 200 to 250 mL bottles to 20 bottles per fill and 1800 bottles per hour for 500 to 700 mL square bottles. Intermediate configurations cover 300 to 400 mL and 500 mL round bottles. These are planning values; loading rhythm, upstream washing, cap or stopper handling, and downstream distribution can determine the real line capacity.

A programmable mode supports piping disinfection, while saved parameters and process records support repeatable operation. Approved acid or mineral additions can be incorporated when the facility has defined the recipe, compatibility, mixing, labeling, and quality checks. The filler does not determine water suitability or dosing. Teams should define changeover, flushing, microbial control, residual checks, bottle segregation, rejected fills, and the response to interrupted cycles.

Share bottle drawings, rack counts, target volumes, daily throughput, water specification, approved additives, inlet and drainage conditions, sanitation procedure, quality checks, room layout, and delivery route with ConductScience. The quote will confirm rack compatibility, filling configuration, piping, controls, accessories, placement, testing, training, and qualification support. That creates one documented bridge between the watering-room equipment and the care program it serves.
