Volumetric paste filling

Volumetric paste filling machines for repeatable dose control.

Volumetric filling is a common route for paste because the fill can be controlled by the movement of a piston or positive-displacement system.

Application advice

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

Volumetric filling is a common route for paste because the fill can be controlled by the movement of a piston or positive-displacement system. 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

Thick products that need repeatable volume-based dosing

This page is for manufacturers and contract packers filling thick products that need repeatable volume-based dosing into bottles, jars, tubs, pots and other rigid containers. It helps identify the practical specification points that affect accuracy, mess, speed and changeover.

Filling route

Piston or positive-displacement filling selected by dose range and viscosity

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.

  • Dose range and changeover between volumes — define this before selecting the filling route.
  • Product viscosity and compressibility — this affects machine configuration, nozzle choice and operator workflow.
  • Nozzle cut-off and container presentation — 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.

  • What is the minimum and maximum fill volume?
  • Is the fill checked by volume or net weight?
  • How often will volume settings change?

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

Quick answers

Volumetric paste filling FAQs.

Which filler is suitable for thick products that need repeatable volume-based dosing?

The suitable route depends on viscosity, particle content, fill volume, container opening and output target. Many thick products that need repeatable volume-based dosing applications start with piston or positive-displacement filling selected by dose range and viscosity.

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.
