A recovery system for a hot fill system. The hot fill system has a first diverter for diverting the flow of overflow product from a product tank to a filler feed tank. The system also has a source of compressed air for clearing the line between the overflow tank and the product tank. The system also has a source of water for clearing the line from the product tank to the filler feed tank. The system also has a heater for reheating overflow product with a recirculation/recovery loop. The system allows for the recovery of product which would have been lost during a hot fill product run.
