Filling temperature
Warm and cold products can behave differently, affecting speed, nozzle cut-off and hopper feed.
Food paste filling
Food paste filling machines for sauces, jam, honey and viscous products.
Food paste filling advice for sauces, jam, honey and viscous products packed into jars, bottles, tubs and similar containers.
Application route
Specify food paste filling with product feed, hygiene and clean presentation in mind.
Review product feed, cleanability, fill temperature, particles, jar handling and downstream capping or labelling.
Hygiene and clean-down
Food applications need clear access to contact parts and a cleaning routine suited to the product.
Jar and tub presentation
Reduce smearing on rims and shoulders by matching the nozzle, fill speed and container opening.
Machine routes
Move from product type to the right paste filler.
Move from your product route to semi-automatic machines, automatic filling lines, piston fillers or the quote form without guessing where to go next.
Semi-automatic paste fillers
Flexible piston filling for smaller batches, trials, contract packing and products where an operator places containers or controls each cycle.
View semi-auto route →
Automatic paste filling machines
Inline multi-nozzle filling for higher output, repeatable dosing and integration with conveyors, capping, labelling and coding.

Piston paste fillers
Positive-displacement volumetric dosing for sauces, creams, gels, honey, sealants and similar viscous products.

Fill, cap and label integration
Plan the filler with closure handling, bottle stability, conveyor layout, labelling and end-of-line requirements from the start.
Plan line integration →What food products can paste fillers fill?
Typical enquiries include sauces, jam, honey, chutney, mayonnaise, dressings, pastes and other viscous food products.
Can food paste fillers handle particles?
Some systems can handle certain particles, but size, shape, suspension and product path must be reviewed.
Can a food paste filler be part of a complete line?
Yes. Filling can be integrated with capping, labelling, coding, conveying and accumulation where a production line is required.
Allergen and residue changeover
Equipment cleanability must be assessed against the food and the site verification method.
For multi-product food production, map pumps, hoses, valves, nozzle mechanisms, guards, conveyors and any surface where residue can accumulate. The Food Standards Agency’s review of allergen-cleaning guidance highlights equipment design, accessibility, disassembly, residue traps and monitoring as important considerations. The site must develop and validate its own cleaning procedure for the actual products and risks.
