How to Find the Right Liquid Filling Machine For Your Business?

Selecting the right liquid filling machine for your business may be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. In this post, we will discuss some tips to help you choose the right machine.

Remember that the liquid filling equipment has direct contact with your liquid product. Aside from operating efficiency, it must treat your goods with care while maintaining product quality and hygiene. There are several factors and criteria to consider when choosing the best liquid filling equipment for your business. Let’s review five of the most fundamental ones:

1. Your product information

When choosing a liquid filling machine, it is critical to define the type of containers you intend to fill. Will you fill flexible pouches, tetrapacks, or bottles? What size, shape, and material are the bottles? glass or plastic? What style of cap or lid is needed? There are several cap choices available, including crimp, fill, press-on, twist-on, and spray.

Do you also require a labeling solution? Defining all of these criteria ahead of time can make it easier to discuss your goals with your packaging systems and materials vendor. Your liquid filling line should be flexible enough to accommodate a variety of bottle sizes and shapes with little changeover time.

3. Level of Automation

Even if this is your first experience with automated liquid filling, you should be able to define how many bottles you need to manufacture in a day, week, or year. Defining the degree of production allows you to compute the machine’s speed or capacity per minute/hour. One thing is certain: the chosen machine must be able to expand in tandem with increasing activities. Liquid fillers should be upgradeable, and the machine should be able to handle additional filling heads as needed.

The number of bottles per minute needed to meet production goals can help you choose if a manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated packaging system is best for you. Some experts believe that for modest production runs, semi-automatic or even manual liquid filling devices are appropriate. When production expands or new goods are introduced, you may switch to a fully automated system, which needs minimal operator involvement and significantly enhances fill rate.

4. Integration

Consider whether the new liquid filling machine you intend to acquire will combine with your existing equipment or future equipment purchases. This is critical to the overall efficiency of your packing process and avoiding future issues with outmoded gear. Semi-automatic and manual filling machines may be difficult to combine, but most automatic liquid filling equipment is intended to work effortlessly.

5. Accuracy

Filling precision is a significant advantage of automated packaging technologies. Or it should be! Under-filled containers might cause client complaints, while overfilling creates waste that you cannot afford.

Automation can guarantee precise filling. Automated liquid filling machines are equipped with PLCs that manage filling settings, maintain product flow, and provide consistent, exact filling. Overflow of product is eliminated, which not only saves money by preserving product, but also saves time and money spent cleaning the machine and its surroundings.
