bottling Bottling large quantities of hot sauce

Does anyone have any info on how to bottle large quantities of hot sauce? I've always done the hot water bath when I was making it just for myself and some friends but now I am starting my own business selling it and I don't think the commercial kitchen I'm using would have the space to boil 500 bottles at a time, nor would I have the time. The bottles are sterilized withe star san and the sauce is cooked. However, fresh lime juice is added at the end and the final product would be bottled at around 175 degrees fahrenheit.

All the basics are HERE.  Then it gets scaled up.  Some use a HandyFiller, no need to boil if the sauce is hot.  You should get in touch with a process authority and your local health inspector before getting too far along and definitely before selling.  Good Luck and Have Fun!
