Complete Brake Oil Filling & Packaging Line Exported to Africa
2026-05-09
Grepack has successfully completed and delivered a fully integrated brake oil filling and packaging line to an automotive chemical products manufacturer in Africa — a 7-unit turnkey solution covering every stage from filling to carton sealing, built around a 10-head servo piston filling machine running at 50–60 bottles per minute.
This project represents one of Grepack's most complete turnkey line deliveries to the African automotive aftermarket sector. The client required a reliable, high-speed packaging solution for brake fluid in square bottles across three fill volumes — 250ml, 500ml, and 1,000ml — with full downstream automation from capping through to carton sealing and labeling.
Complete Line Equipment
The delivered production line consists of 7 integrated units, designed to operate as a seamless end-to-end packaging system:
10-Head Servo Piston Filling Machine
Servo-driven piston filler with suck-back nozzles. Handles 100ml–1,000ml fill volumes at 50–60 bottles per minute. SS304 product-contact construction, Delta PLC + HMI touchscreen control.
6-Wheel Capping Machine
6-wheel clamping mechanism for consistent torque and leak-proof sealing. Suitable for screw caps on square brake fluid bottles. Smooth, scratch-free cap application at line speed.
Air-Cooled Aluminium Foil Sealer
Electromagnetic induction foil sealing for tamper-evident packaging. Air-cooled design ensures consistent seal quality without overheating. Essential for brake fluid — a safety-critical product.
Double-Sided Labeling Machine
Automatic front and back label application for square bottles. Precision servo label feeding ensures consistent label placement at production speed.
Automatic Carton Sealing Machine
Fully automatic top and bottom carton sealing. Adjustable for different carton sizes to match all three bottle formats (250ml, 500ml, 1L). Eliminates manual taping at line end.

Key Engineering Highlights
Foil Sealing — Critical for Brake Fluid Safety
Brake fluid is a safety-critical automotive chemical. Tamper-evident aluminium foil sealing is not just a packaging preference — it is a market and safety requirement. Grepack's air-cooled induction foil sealer ensures a hermetic, tamper-evident seal on every bottle, protecting the product from contamination and giving end-users confidence in product integrity.
10-Head Configuration for High Output
With 10 filling heads running simultaneously, this brake oil filling machine achieves 50–60 bottles per minute — sufficient for medium to large-scale automotive fluid packaging operations. The servo piston system delivers ±0.5% fill accuracy across all heads, minimizing product giveaway on every shift.
Full Downstream Automation
From filled bottle to labeled, strapped, and sealed carton — every downstream step is automated. This reduces the headcount required at end-of-line from typically 4–6 operators to 1–2 supervisory roles, significantly lowering per-unit labor cost.
"By integrating filling, capping, foil sealing, labeling, strapping, and carton sealing into one continuous line, this project demonstrates Grepack's capability to deliver complete turnkey automotive fluid packaging solutions — ready to run from day one."
Suitable Applications
This brake oil filling line configuration is optimized for the following automotive and chemical fluid products:
Brake & Clutch Fluids: DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5 brake fluid, clutch fluid
Engine & Gear Oils: Motor oil, gear oil, transmission fluid, hydraulic oil
Cooling System Fluids: Antifreeze, coolant, windshield washer fluid
Industrial Chemicals: Lubricant additives, cleaning solvents, chemical concentrates
