To choose between 2, 4, 6 or 8 nozzles, start with your priority pack sizes and required bottles per minute, then compare the options under the same operating conditions. RUNTECH lists a customizable filling range of 100–5000 ml and a published speed of 12–35 bottles per minute, but does not publish a separate filling rate for each nozzle count. The right linear edible oil filling machine nozzle configuration depends on the actual oil, bottle format and production target—not simply on which option has the most nozzles.
Choose the pack volume before discussing nozzle count
The first decision is how much edible oil each container needs to hold. A 250 ml retail bottle, a 1,000 ml cooking oil bottle and a 5,000 ml container may all fall within the published filling range, but they represent different dosing requirements.
RUNTECH specifies a customizable range of 100–5000 ml. This gives the equipment scope for different pack sizes, but it does not mean that every volume will have the same filling cycle or production rate.
Start with the main pack sizes planned for regular production. If one volume accounts for most orders, use it as the primary reference when discussing the machine. If several sizes are equally important, include each one in the configuration review rather than choosing a nozzle arrangement around just one bottle.
This distinction matters because edible oil filling volume determines the amount delivered in each dosing cycle. Nozzle count determines how many filling positions are available. These are related decisions, but they are not interchangeable.
What the listed 2, 4, 6 and 8 nozzle choices mean
The four options describe the number of filling nozzles available in the machine. A multi-nozzle linear arrangement allows several containers to be filled during the same filling cycle, with the number of simultaneous filling positions increasing as the nozzle count increases.

A higher nozzle count increases the number of parallel filling positions, but without cycle-time data for each setup it cannot be used to predict a proportional rise in bottles per minute. Compare configurations using the same oil, fill volume, bottle format and target output.
Pack size does not dictate nozzle count: two nozzles are not inherently restricted to small bottles, nor are eight automatically the right choice for 5,000 ml containers. Ask the supplier to confirm the achievable production rate for each relevant option before selecting a configuration.
The practical decision is to compare the required output with the confirmed performance of each suitable option. For the available equipment and its published configuration details, review the linear edible oil filling machine before narrowing down the nozzle count.
How to discuss different bottle volumes within 100–5000 ml
A stated filling range is useful, but the actual production formats need to be identified before the configuration is finalized. For example, a requirement covering 250 ml, 500 ml, 1,000 ml and 5,000 ml packs should be reviewed as four intended filling volumes, not simply as one application within a broad range.
Container format also deserves attention. RUNTECH lists plastic oil bottles, glass oil bottles, PET jars and small oil barrels among the applicable container types. Two containers with the same nominal filling volume may still have different shapes and openings.
This is particularly relevant when a production requirement includes both smaller retail bottles and larger oil packs. The manufacturer needs to understand which containers will be used regularly and whether the proposed nozzle arrangement is suitable for each intended format.
A useful distinction: the 100–5000 ml specification describes the customizable filling-volume range. It does not independently confirm that every bottle size can use an identical setup or achieve the same production speed.
Where several volumes are required, the configuration discussion should cover the complete intended pack range. Confirming one bottle size should not be treated as automatic approval for every other size. For projects with frequent format changes, see what to specify when a filling line needs to handle multiple bottle sizes.
Why 12–35 bottles/minute is not a promise for every configuration
RUNTECH publishes a filling speed of 12–35 bottles per minute, adjustable according to nozzle quantity. Because no separate speed table is provided for the 2, 4, 6 and 8-nozzle versions or individual fill volumes, this range is a reference rather than a guaranteed rate for each setup.
Bottle output needs to be considered alongside the amount of oil delivered. A useful planning calculation is required liquid throughput (L/min) = target bottles per minute × filling volume (L).
For example, a target of 20 bottles per minute requires 10 litres of oil per minute for 500 ml bottles, but 100 litres per minute for 5,000 ml containers. These are calculated requirements, not verified performance figures for RUNTECH equipment. They show why two pack sizes with the same bottle-rate target can impose very different demands on the filling system.
Vegetable oil, olive oil and palm oil are listed applications, but no separate production rates are published for each oil. Cycle time, product supply, bottle positioning and conveyor movement also affect whether a proposed configuration can meet the target output.
For purchasing purposes, ask for the confirmed sustained production rate with your actual oil, fill volume, container and nozzle count. Until these conditions are checked, 12–35 bottles per minute remains the published reference range, not an application-specific guarantee.
Decide which configuration needs a product-and-bottle trial
Once the priority pack volumes and target output are defined, a trial with the intended edible oil and representative containers is the strongest basis for choosing between the proposed nozzle configurations.
Agree on the test conditions and acceptance criteria first. Record the sustained rate of accepted bottles per minute, delivered fill volume against the agreed tolerance, bottle-mouth cleanliness, and any dripping, overflow, stops or adjustments during the run.
Where several oils or bottle sizes will be produced, test the combinations that matter most to the actual production plan. A successful trial with one oil and bottle size cannot automatically establish the performance of the others.
The result should identify which nozzle count consistently meets the agreed fill and output requirements under realistic conditions—not simply which configuration has the greatest number of filling positions.

The listed equipment offers customizable filling volumes and 2, 4, 6 or 8 nozzle options. The actual configuration and filling rate should be confirmed against the intended oil and container samples.
Before confirming the configuration, send RUNTECH the oil types, bottle samples, fill volumes and target output for each priority format. Request written confirmation of the proposed trial conditions and the performance that can be supported.
Questions before the next step
Does eight nozzles guarantee four times the output of two?
No. Eight nozzles provide four times as many filling positions as two, but this does not guarantee four times the actual bottle output. The filling volume and dosing cycle must also be considered, and the rate for each configuration needs confirmation.
Is 100–5000 ml a fixed configuration or a customizable range?
RUNTECH lists 100–5000 ml as a customizable filling range. The exact pack volumes and corresponding nozzle configuration should be confirmed for the intended application.
What information should I provide to confirm the nozzle count?
Provide the oil type, required filling volumes, bottle dimensions, container samples and target bottles per minute for each priority format. RUNTECH can then review the proposed nozzle options and identify which production rates need to be confirmed through a product-and-bottle trial.
Next Step
Match the Nozzle Configuration to Your Actual Pack Requirements
For edible oil packaging within the 100–5000 ml range, the right choice between 2, 4, 6 and 8 nozzles should be based on the main filling volume, required output and actual container format. Review the equipment specifications and discuss the intended product-and-bottle combination before confirming the configuration.
