Choosing a filling machine can be challenging for beginners due to the variety of techniques and liquid product dosing methods on the market. Machines come with different options and systems that vary depending on the product to be packaged.

For viscous products, which filler is the most suitable? How to select a machine that is easy to clean? How to control dosing accuracy? What are the differences between level filling and flowmeter filling? This guide will address these questions and many others.

Developed internally, this guide is designed to help users identify their needs and select the type of machine that best suits their production, regardless of industry (food & beverage, cosmetics, e-liquid, chemical, etc.).

Key Points Covered:

• Semi-automatic fillers:
  • Ideal for small to medium-scale productions.
  • Versatile and easy to clean.
• Automatic fillers:
  • Suitable for high production rates.
  • Provide precision and speed for large volumes.
• Filling techniques:
  • Flowmeter for homogeneous, fluid liquids.
  • Piston filling for thicker or more viscous products.

Each machine is designed for different product types (fluid, viscous, paste-like, foamy), and the choice depends on:

• Type of container used.
• Viscosity of the product.
• Desired production rate.

The goal is to ensure dosing accuracy while also making it easy to:

• Perform maintenance.
• Clean the machine efficiently to reduce downtime.
