In my 12 years working with packaging systems, I’ve learned that choosing the right filling equipment makes all the difference between smooth operations and constant headaches. Each product type demands specialized solutions – here’s what you need to know.
Capsule Fillers: Precision Matters
A good capsul filling machine isn’t just about speed. The best ones:
• Handle delicate capsules without cracking
• Offer ±3% dosage accuracy
• Allow quick changeovers between sizes
I’ve seen supplement companies lose thousands from broken capsules before switching to machines with vibration-assisted feeding.
Liquid Cup Fillers: More Than Just Volume
When evaluating cup filling machine options, don’t just look at throughput. Critical features include:
- Foam suppression technology
- Splash guards for clean fills
- Quick-release nozzles for sanitation
Perfume Bottling Nuances
Perfume filling machine requirements differ from standard liquid fillers:
• Alcohol-resistant seals
• Precision pumps for expensive fragrances
• Nitrogen flushing to prevent oxidation
One luxury brand I worked with reduced product loss by 18% after switching to rotary perfume fillers.
Aerosol Challenges Solved
For aerosol filling machine systems, safety is paramount:
= Pressure-rated components
= Leak detection systems
= Propellant recovery features
Tube Filling Specialties
A quality tube filling machine should handle:
• Thick creams to runny gels
• Various tube materials (laminate or aluminum)
• Precise bottom sealing
Bag-in-Box Systems
Modern bag in box filling machine units now offer:
- Integrated spout attachment
- Gas flushing for wine applications
- Automatic weight verification
