Particles and inclusions
Seeds, herbs, onion pieces or chilli flakes can change the valve and nozzle choice. Ask for product samples where possible.
Sauce filling machines
Sauce filling machines for thick, sticky and particulate food products.
Choose sauce filling equipment around viscosity, temperature, particles, clean jar presentation, nozzle cut-off and hygienic clean-down.

Application route
Sauce filling is a common paste filling requirement.
Start with the product behaviour, then match the filler to your sauce, container, fill volume, clean-down routine and output target.
Hot or cold fill
Filling temperature affects viscosity, product flow, container handling and cleaning. The machine route should be reviewed around the real process.
Food clean-down
Food applications need practical access to contact parts, clear cleaning routines and material choices suitable for the product.
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 sauce products can paste fillers handle?
Sauce filler suitability depends on viscosity and particles, but common enquiries include ketchup, pesto, mayonnaise, chutney, relish, dressings and cooked sauces.
Can a sauce filling machine fill jars and bottles?
Yes, subject to container review. The neck opening, stability, fill volume and presentation standard decide the nozzle and handling route.
Do sauces need heated hoppers?
Some sauces, honey and sticky products may need heat or agitation to maintain flow, but this should be reviewed against the recipe and filling temperature.
