I see a lot of products that are gravity fed and offer a pump as an external option. How are they used for bottling?
Many gravity fed products require an open tank and filler assembly, a stand, a tank of CO2, Argon, or Nitrogen, (which provides a layer of gas to protect the product from oxidation). An external pump is also required. The pump only moves the liquid from bulk to the open trough, where it sits until it is transferred into your bottle, by gravity flow. Your product may take quite some time to bottle using this approach, as the open trough will require refilling many times during the process. If external gas is not used, excessive oxidation could ruin a whole batch of your product. The user must decide upon which gas to use as well as how much, then purchase the gas and also buy or rent the tanks and regulator, etc. Argon and nitrogen gas can be quite costly and the tanks themselves are very heavy as well as hard to move and manage without help.
