Pesto filling machines for oily, textured sauce products.

Pesto brings several filling issues together: viscosity, oil separation, herbs or particulate and the need for a clean fill into jars or tubs.

Application advice

Specify the filler around product behaviour, not only fill volume.

Pesto brings several filling issues together: viscosity, oil separation, herbs or particulate and the need for a clean fill into jars or tubs. The best result normally comes from matching the product path, hopper feed, nozzle design, container handling and downstream line equipment before ordering the machine.

Best suited to

Pesto, tapenades, dips and textured oily sauces

This page is for manufacturers and contract packers filling pesto, tapenades, dips and textured oily sauces into glass jars, plastic pots, tubs and food-service packs. It helps identify the practical specification points that affect accuracy, mess, speed and changeover.

Filling route

Paste filling route selected around texture, oil separation and filling accuracy

For many paste applications, the route is selected after reviewing viscosity, particle content, temperature, dose size, product contact requirements and expected production output.

Line planning

Filling, capping and labelling

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.

Specification points

Check these before choosing the machine.

  • Gentle product handling where texture matters — define this before selecting the filling route.
  • Hopper arrangement for products that can separate — this affects machine configuration, nozzle choice and operator workflow.
  • Fill accuracy and clean cut-off for oily products — plan it early so the filler fits the line instead of creating a bottleneck.
Quote questions

Useful details to send with your enquiry.

Clear product and pack information helps shortlist the right paste filler and avoid over-specifying or under-specifying the machine.

  • Does the product separate during holding?
  • Is texture or particle integrity important?
  • Are you filling small retail jars or larger catering packs?

Photos of the product, container, closure and any existing filling setup are also useful when planning the route.

Quick answers

Pesto and textured sauce filling FAQs.

Which filler is suitable for pesto, tapenades, dips and textured oily sauces?

The suitable route depends on viscosity, particle content, fill volume, container opening and output target. Many pesto, tapenades, dips and textured oily sauces applications start with paste filling route selected around texture, oil separation and filling accuracy.

What details are needed before a quote?

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.

Can the filling machine be linked with capping and labelling?

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.
