Filler machine

A capping assembly to allow capping of a filled bottle under pressure, the capping assembly comprising:

• a top sealing plate comprising at least one hole;
• below the top sealing plate, a rotating bottle seal holder comprising a plurality of top seals, each top seal comprising a chamber and, adjacent to the chamber, a hole that transverses the bottle seal holder;
• within the bottle seal holder, a plurality of neck seals, each neck seal allowing sealing of the filled bottle around the neck of the filled bottle rather than at the top of the filled bottle;
• below the bottle seal holder, a rotating wheel comprising at least one recess for contacting the side of the filled bottle;
• below the rotating wheel, a bottle support comprising a surface for supporting the bottom of the filled bottle;
• wherein, by placement in the neck seal, the filled bottle is able to be positioned such that the top of the filled bottle extends into the hole of the top seal, the top seal contacting an underside of the top sealing plate and thereby sealing air or gas inside the filled bottle, while the bottom of the filled bottle contacts the bottle support;
• and
• wherein, by placement in the recess of the rotating wheel, the filled bottle is able to be rotated along with the rotating wheel, thereby transiting the top of the filled bottle and the top seal along the underside of the top sealing plate, in this way keeping the filled bottle under pressure until the top of the filled bottle crosses over the hole of the top sealing plate and capping can take place.
