Liquid Filling Machinery and Process Solutions

What to consider for liquid filling: viscosity, foaming, fill volume, container type and cleaning.

Liquid Filling equipment selection depends on viscosity, foaming, fill volume, container type and cleaning.

Common equipment

Machine types used for this application. One technology does not fit every product, so compare the options against your sample.

Filling Machines

Fill liquids, pastes, powders and granules into containers by volume or weight.

Capping Machines

Apply and tighten screw, ROPP, press-on and lug closures.

Sealing Machines

Induction, heat, band, foil and tube sealing for secure, tamper-evident packs.

Which liquid filling technology should I choose?

Gravity and overflow fillers suit thin, free-flowing liquids and give consistent fill levels in clear bottles. Pump and flowmeter fillers handle a wider viscosity range and quick volume changes. Piston fillers suit thicker liquids. Foaming products often need bottom-up or subsurface filling.

Key questions to answer

  • What does the product sample behave like?
  • Which of these matter: viscosity, foaming, fill volume, container type and cleaning?
  • What pack size or fill quantity do you need?
  • What target output per minute or per shift?
  • How many changeovers per day or week?
  • How much floor space is available?

Typical workflow

  1. Product feeding or preparation
  2. Primary packaging operation
  3. Closure or sealing
  4. Identification and inspection
  5. Dispatch packing
