Capture accuracy problem searches and route to filler choice.
The right paste filling machine depends on how the product moves, how accurately it must dose and whether the production route is manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic. The useful starting point is the product sample, target fill volume, container and required output.
This page is for producers and contract packers comparing fill viscous products accurately options. The correct route depends on product movement, product recovery, fill accuracy, cleaning access and how the container is presented to the nozzle.
A filler should be specified around viscosity, dose size, container choice, cleaning needs and output target. These points often decide whether a compact semi-automatic filler, piston machine, pump-fed filler or automatic line is the better option.
Container dimensions, neck or opening size, fill height and closure style affect the filling head, conveyor layout, capping route and operator access.
A useful enquiry includes product type, fill volume, container dimensions, closure, photos of the pack and the output you want to achieve. This helps avoid under-specifying the filler or adding unnecessary automation.
The aim is to match the filling method to the production problem instead of forcing the product through the wrong type of liquid filler.
Small changes in product behaviour or pack style can change the correct filler, nozzle or line layout.
Thicker products often need positive displacement rather than gravity filling.
Sticky or stringing products may need a nozzle that closes cleanly.
Food and cosmetic projects need practical access for cleaning and changeover.
The required containers per minute decides whether semi-auto or automatic is realistic.
It can be suitable when the product path, hopper, valve and nozzle are matched to the product. For thick, sticky, aerated or slow-flowing products, the important checks are viscosity, fill volume, temperature, pack opening and whether the product strings, drips, separates or contains particles.
Send the product name, fill volume, container size, closure type, temperature, target output and whether the line needs capping, labelling or coding. Photos or short videos of the product and container are useful.
Yes. The filler can be planned as a stand-alone machine or integrated with conveyors, capping, labelling, coding and accumulation depending on the production route.
These pages help narrow the machine route before you send project details.

State the target quantity, tolerance or process limit, number of samples, head identification, tare method, measuring equipment and whether the result is mass, volume, level or another approved measure. Record product temperature and density where conversion between mass and volume is used.
Measure sequential fills under stable conditions to show short-term variation and any drift.
Repeat after startup, refill, changeover or another agreed condition to show whether settings remain transferable.
Assess only when the process is stable and the specification, measurement system and sample size are suitable for the decision.
Do not quote a universal accuracy figure without the product, dose, machine configuration and test conditions. Use the sample test guide and FAT guide to agree the evidence.
A filler trial can show performance under defined conditions. Production control must also manage tare, measuring equipment, sample timing, drift, corrective action and any legal packaged-goods duties. Record mass-to-volume assumptions when a volumetric dose is checked by weight.
Define whether tare is individual, average or otherwise controlled for the actual pack lot.
Use consecutive samples across start-up, stable running, pauses and the hardest normal product condition.
Set limits, actions and approval responsibility before the test begins.
