Hot Sauce Bottling Automation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2024
- Get a peek behind the scenes of my hot sauce business. I show you my semi-automatic pneumatic bottle filling machines, as well as try out a new gadget to try automate the process using a conveyor belt.
As my business has grown, I have gone through a few different methods and machines....from using a funnel, to a smaller pneumatic filler....and now these machines. I am pretty happy with my setup now, to go any bigger would require a LOT more space.

Absolutely. I had no idea of the setup you had. Very cool. I’d be interested in a behind the scenes for the seed business too.
I was really excited when I saw this video, then I saw that you didn’t even bottle any hot sauce, just water. Maybe make a video when you actually use the product for hot sauce? This feels half baked.
@@PlantNatives filming while doing a production run of sauce is not as simple as you may think.
I most certainly would love to see more behind the scenes like this! I would be interested in getting one myself.
Oh yes, more behind the scenes videos please!
I read a comment you made five years ago about one day wanting to sell your hot sauces to fans. Can't believe you made it happen
That's what started it all off! ❤️
Cool set up mate👏👏👏🇭🇲
Nice setup Shaun! That looks like a good way to bring enjoyment to the bottling end of the sauce cycle. I would expect nothing less by the way, going back to when you started your automation channel. These high tech do dads are good I suppose, as long as the do dad follows the mind of its operator. Here I am still low tech. Even better than that, I didnt have to shovel yesterday's snowfall off the steps... it melted. lol See you tomorrow morning. Stay Spicy! -Bob...
Really interesting to see industry grade mashinery you use. Thank you!
WOW very complicated ! Best wishes with your mini factory
Very cool device. I hope I'll have that kind of setup one day.
lol, I also like watching how it's made. was exactly what I was thinking of. that show blows my mind in the amount of money that must go just into the equipment. It is cool to see, how maybe the little guy can try and compete with them. Well, until the lawyers, politicians, and taxes come into play.
Good luck! wish you the best. Hope one day I have the determination to try something like that.
Wow... i only make hot sauce 1 quart at a time. your fermentation set up has to be huge to want to automate the bottling process! that is awesome!
Loved the video, im sure you loved tinkering with it to get everything perfect
Absolutely!
Very cool!😎
Hi, love the videos. Your my inspiration and this year is my first year growing chillis, I have them all inside at the moment under grow lights, I also brought a poly carbonate greenhouse and went out there today as have seedlings for the allotment growing and temp inside was 39 degrees, that's way to hot isn't it? Any ideas I can do to cool it down so I can grow my chillis inside the greenhouse as they will be going out soon. Thanks in advance
Hi Wayne, thank you for watching! For your greenhouse, you will need to ventilate. At the least there should be a window on the roof you can open, that will bring the temps down. If it also has side vents/louvres, then open those too, that will allow cooler air to come in through the sides, and evacuate the warmer air out the top.
are there no companies that do the bottling process for small businesses like the one you're running? very cool little setup tho.
There are. But I don't want to hand over quality control to anyone else.. Plus it is not cheap
Super cool video. Question: how many bottles do you get out of a typical batch? Those machines look awesome. Can’t wait to see some sauces being bottled. Thanks so much for sharing my friend.
Thanks mate. My biggest batch has been around 1000 bottles. This year there may be a bigger batch than that. It's a couple day process from end to end.
Where do you source the sauce bottles? Very cool machine too 😎👍👍
is the read out and controller attached to the third machine specific for this brand of filler ?
Hi there - just wondering about sterilisation when bottling? I would think the sauce would be bottled at close to boil & bottles freshly sterilised in boiling water? Any advice on how to solve this appreciated 👍
Hi Shaun ...thank you for always sharing your knowledge with us here on youtube...I wanted to ask if you please, you how do you clean this machine from inside .. ?
I have set up a few processes to clean it out. A process for each time I use it, before and after (sterilise and sanitise). And then every few times I strip it down and deep clean
@@ChilliChump I was thinking for the chili and other vegies bits ...so if I understand well all the parts in contact with the liquid is easy to clean ( disassemble and assemble )
@@felfelatyhotsauce536 it's easy enough. Still time consuming, and a bit of work of course to do it properly.
@@ChilliChump thank you so much for your time and advice...as always... :)
does it support boiling hot liquids too...?
Great. Is there any automated way to disinfect the bottles ?
Yes...but it's not cost effective unless you are running 10k bottles a day. The method I use is pretty quick though
When you’re filling your bottles, I assume the hopper is filled with just finished pasteurized sauce. If it is will you not have a problem with volume shrinkage from your present tdc. After the bottle is caped ( in the automated system)
It's not really an issue...plus I always fill around 5% more than the stated volume anyway.
Where can I get the second filling machine with automatic device and the Conveyor belt . Thanks
Yeah, yeah, automation, calculation: More important GARLIC FIRE?????? Yes!🤣
Where do you buy your bottles?
Are these bottling machines made
For u locally or China? Any supplier information available? What kind of costs are they usually going for? Thanks dude 👍
Have you considered moving your compressor to another room and running copper into your production area?
The next room over is our post and packaging space, and where our office is. That would be the only place I could put it...but would rather not have it taking up space or making noise there!
@@ChilliChumpThat makes sense. Maybe an insulated box around it? Ventilated somehow, of course
@doctor.worthog to be honest, the new one that I show in the video is pretty quiet. The previous one on the other hand was way too loud!
Who makes that?
I'm curious how many bottles you put out in a year. I'm at like 20 - 25, but I'm just doing it for myself and maybe a few gifts to friends and family.
My business has grown significantly over the last few years. One of my bigger batches I make is over 1000 bottles at a time. The biggest restriction with my output is my growing area...which I have increased each year since starting. Including this year with another greenhouse.
@@ChilliChump Wow! You make more at a time than I’ve made my whole life to date!
@@Craxin01 this is my full time business! I would have a real problem if I wasn't able to do that sort of volume. If it were just for my family and friends, I would certainly not be doing that sort of volume 😊
How's that machine with more thick sauces? I do lot's of non-fermened ones and would love some automation.
It handles thicker sauces well. I have run chutney through it as well as chilli jam.
@@ChilliChump nice! Gotta try it out. 1000 bottles a month by hand is becoming unbearable. Thanks for inspiring me to start my own hot sauce business 4 years ago man! Doing good now. 31 varieties with some core best sellers and seasonal varieties.
@@Navity7lgood for you
🦁💪👍🌶️
Would like to see how your chillies are doing. Do not care about bottling sauce.
Did you watch the livestream yesterday?
Nope, the video takes way to long
@@barendbats6272 well I put out a video update to my plants in the livestream. But hey, can't please everyone I guess 🤷🏼♂️
You are changed. You used to be about the chillies. Now it's views.
@barendbats6272 lol. If it was about the views, believe me I wouldn't be putting out the videos I put out. I am all about the chillies. But guess what, there are people that are interested in how to make sauce or want to learn how I automate my greenhouses. I put out videos people ask for...and believe me they don't always bring in views. If I didn't give a crap about my viewers then I would put out videos made for the algorithm. I also wouldn't waste an hour of my weekend doing a livestream to answer hundreds of questions every month. Livestreams are a killer for my channel, but I still do them for the people that beg for me to keep doing them. But hey, you do you ...I would love to check out your UA-cam channel where you share your knowledge.
