Dripping, inconsistent fills and poor flow usually come from product behaviour, nozzle setup, air, seals or the wrong filling route.
Dripping, inconsistent fills and poor flow usually come from product behaviour, nozzle setup, air, seals or the wrong filling route. The right machine route is usually decided by the product path, dosing method, nozzle shut-off, cleaning access and how the container moves through the line.
This page is for producers, manufacturers and contract packers filling paste, sauce, cream, gel, honey, adhesive and sealant filling applications into jars, bottles, tubs, cartridges and pails. It highlights the practical details that affect accuracy, mess, changeover and line speed.
For thick or difficult products, the filling method should be selected after reviewing viscosity, dose size, particle content, temperature, product contact requirements and output target.
The filler can be planned as a stand-alone machine or linked with conveyors, cap handling, labelling, coding and packing where production needs a complete route.
Clear product and pack information helps shortlist the right paste filler and avoids specifying a machine that is too small, too slow or unnecessarily complex.
Photos of the product, container, closure and any existing filling setup are also useful when planning the route.
These pages help compare product type, automation level and line integration before you request a quote.

View page →The suitable filler depends on viscosity, dose size, container, temperature, product behaviour and output target. Many paste, sauce, cream, gel, honey, adhesive and sealant filling applications applications need positive-displacement paste filling with a hopper, valve and nozzle arrangement matched to the product.
Useful details include the product, fill volume, container dimensions, closure type, target output, cleaning requirements, photos of the pack and whether filling only or a complete line is required.
Yes. Paste filling equipment can be planned as a stand-alone filler or as part of a wider line with conveyors, capping, labelling, coding and accumulation.
Send your product, container, fill volume, closure and target output. Lancing can help compare the practical options before quotation.
Record product batch, temperature, hopper level, machine settings, filling head, container, time and observed symptom before adjustment. Multiple simultaneous changes can hide the cause and make the next run harder to reproduce.
| Symptom | Check first | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Fill quantity drifts | Air, chamber refill, product temperature, hopper level, leakage, seal condition and measurement method. | Sequential results by head with settings and product condition. |
| Drips or strings | Nozzle closure, suck-back, pressure, dwell, product temperature and distance to the pack. | Slow-motion video or photographs plus accepted and rejected samples. |
| Particles block or break | Every valve, bend and nozzle opening against the largest normal inclusion. | Before-and-after product comparison and location of the restriction. |
| Air pockets or foam | Feed suction, hopper return, agitation, fill profile and nozzle position. | Product density, visible bubbles and fill-settling observations. |
| Container jams | Pack tolerances, guide settings, transfers, static, accumulation and filled-pack stability. | Marked containers, jam location and video of the transfer. |
