volumes of CO₂ at filling temperature
Filling Temperature4 °C
Carbonator Pressure~ 0.42 MPa
Filler TechIsobaric back-pressure
Best Bottle FormatPET / Glass
Soft drinks at 3.5+ volumes lose carbonation fastest at the filler-to-cap transition. Aim for under 0.15 vol loss between rinser exit and capper closure with isobaric back-pressure tooling.
