Buyer intent

Specify the filler around your product, pack and output.

Positive-displacement filling is commonly used where a repeatable dose is needed for thick, sticky or non-free-flowing products. 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.

Best suited to

Pastes, creams, sauces, gels, honey, adhesives and sealants

This page is for producers, manufacturers and contract packers filling pastes, creams, sauces, gels, honey, adhesives and sealants into jars, bottles, tubs, pots, cartridges and pails. It highlights the practical details that affect accuracy, mess, changeover and line speed.

Filling route

Piston or pump-fed positive-displacement filling

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.

Line planning

Filling, capping and labelling

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.

Specification points

Check these before choosing the machine.

  • Dose repeatability across the fill range
  • Product path size, valve style and cleaning access
  • Nozzle design for stringy or dripping products
Quote questions

Useful details to send with your enquiry.

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.

  • What dose range must the filler cover?
  • How often do you change products?
  • Does the product require product-contact part controls?

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

Quick answers

Positive displacement filling FAQs.

Which filler is suitable for pastes, creams, sauces, gels, honey, adhesives and sealants?

The suitable filler depends on viscosity, dose size, container, temperature, product behaviour and output target. Many pastes, creams, sauces, gels, honey, adhesives and sealants applications need positive-displacement paste filling with a hopper, valve and nozzle arrangement matched to the product.

What details are needed before a quote?

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.

Can the filling machine be linked with capping and labelling?

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.
