Beer-Bottle Shaking: Check Load by Speed and Rack Layers

2026-10-02English

Bottle shaking involves vessels, fixation accessories and motion conditions. The Edmund Bühler beer-bottle load table explains how to check SM 30 B layer/load combinations, but contains no process endpoint or degassing-effect test.[1]

Recheck the table when adding layers

Layers change load arrangements; do not copy a single-layer allowance onto each layer. At a 50 mm stroke and 180 rpm, the table gives 30 kg for one layer and 15 kg for two, with three layers not permitted. Retain both conditions and the prohibition.[1]

This is not universal to all shakers or other strokes/speeds. Use the corresponding table for other combinations.

Confirm vessels and accessories separately

Check bottle types, numbers and fixation against equipment/accessory information. Photographed vessels and tray components are not automatically a supply list, nor evidence of allowed load.

Dedicated machines for other tasks, such as champagne bottles, illustrate different designs; do not transfer their process purposes or arrangements into this beer-bottle configuration.[2]

Mechanical permission is not processing effectiveness

An allowable mechanical arrangement does not prove that a sample reaches a processing target. Degassing use, time and endpoint need an applicable method and validation. The load table cannot support complete degassing in a set time or an efficiency percentage.

Provide bottle type/count, motion, layers and accessories, then confirm load. This is configuration guidance without customer results, not a successful application case.
