You may have used your filling machines for several years within your packaging process. How long is it since you have investigated the different types of machines that are available as there may be an alternative best way for you to package your products or introduce new products to your production line?
Are You in The Food or Beverage Business?
You may sell food or beverages or both. You probably already use filling machines to add the product to a bottle or a pouch, but could you expand your business and boost your profits?
For products, such as sugar and flour and other dry mixes, you may use an agitator filling machine. Your product is held within a large facility and agitated down into the pouch, before being sealed.
Where you promote liquids within your business, you may use a flow filling machine that is suitable for a wide range of liquids including oils. Once the bottle is filled, it is moved to a conveyor where it is sealed.
For the Pharmaceutical Industry
Although the pharmaceutical industry uses a wide range of packaging machines, they use tablet fillers extensively. The difference with these filling machines is that they count the number of products being placed within the packaging, rather than using weight, although some may use weight because they know how many products are required to match a certain weight. These machines can be used with a wide variety of bottle sizes.
For products that require a different type of liquid, often a slightly thicker liquid compared to drinks, they use pump filling machines. These can be matched to a wide variety of container sizes. The amount of volume and product types will vary considerably. For food items, they may be used for heavy sauces, while car wax is filled within these machines for the auto industry. Shampoo and hair conditioners and a wide range of cosmetic creams are also popular uses of pump filling machines.
