The hopper is a critical part of many paste fillers because it controls how product reaches the dosing system and how consistently the machine can run.
The hopper is a critical part of many paste fillers because it controls how product reaches the dosing system and how consistently the machine can run. The best result normally comes from matching the product path, hopper feed, nozzle design, container handling and downstream line equipment before ordering the machine.
This page is for manufacturers and contract packers filling thick products that need gravity feed or controlled hopper supply into jars, bottles, tubs and pots depending on downstream handling. It helps identify the practical specification points that affect accuracy, mess, speed and changeover.
For many paste applications, the route is selected after reviewing viscosity, particle content, temperature, dose size, product contact requirements and expected production output.
Where production is moving beyond hand filling, the filler should be planned with container infeed, capping, labelling, coding and packing so the line runs cleanly from the start.
Clear product and pack information helps shortlist the right paste filler and avoid over-specifying or under-specifying the machine.
Photos of the product, container, closure and any existing filling setup are also useful when planning the route.

Send enquiry →The suitable route depends on viscosity, particle content, fill volume, container opening and output target. Many thick products that need gravity feed or controlled hopper supply applications start with hopper-fed piston or pump filling matched to viscosity and batch size.
Useful details include product samples or specification, fill volume, container dimensions, closure type, target output, cleaning requirements and whether you need filling only or a wider line.
Yes. Paste filling can be supplied as a stand-alone machine or planned with conveyors, capping, labelling, coding and accumulation depending on the required production flow.
