Filling Systems

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Filling System

Choosing the right filling system depends on your container sizes, product viscosity and required fill accuracy. Consider whether you are filling free-flowing liquids, thick pastes or powders, as this affects the type of filling head and pump required. Container range is also important; some systems are designed for small containers only, while others can handle anything from small bottles up to 1000 litre IBCs on the same line. If your production line needs to run at speed, look for systems with multi-head filling or automatic indexing conveyors. For regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals or food, check that the system can be validated and cleaned to the required hygiene standard. It is also worth discussing future capacity needs with your supplier, as a modular system can often be expanded as your production grows.
