| What is included | Filling, capping and closing equipment |
| Filling principles | Gravity, volumetric, isobaric, piston, load cell |
| Output range | 2,000-48,000 BPH by configuration |
| Accuracy basis | Volume, weight or fill level |
| Contact material | SUS 304 product contact, CIP-ready |
| Key control | Fill accuracy, closure integrity, CIP time |
Filling principle comes from the product, not from the target BPH. Still liquid at a steady density runs gravity or volumetric; carbonated product needs isobaric; thick product with solids needs a piston; product sold by weight runs a load cell. Fix the product first; a machine chosen before it is a machine chosen twice.
Rated output at the specified format, fill accuracy on a defined sample, closure torque or seal measurement, and a timed changeover with the buyer watching. Anything not measured before sign-off becomes a discussion after the final payment.
| Principle | Doses by | Fails when |
|---|---|---|
| Gravity | Fill level in the bottle | Bottle geometry varies |
| Volumetric | Chamber volume | Valve seal wears |
| Isobaric | Volume under counter-pressure | Pressure or temperature drifts |
| Piston | Displacement | Product carries solids |
| Load cell | Net weight | Product temperature moves |
Where this becomes a line rather than a single machine, the Gravity Filling Machine for Still Water is the starting point.
Foaming product needs a slower fill ramp and often a longer nozzle that reaches below the surface. The machine is the same frame with a different valve and a different cam or recipe. Sizing it on the water rate and hoping the foam settles is how lines end up at half output.
The Volumetric Filling Machine for Still Water is the reference unit for this configuration.
When the formats are far apart or the cleaning regimes conflict. Two smaller fillers each run at their own rate and can be cleaned independently. One large flexible filler carries every changeover on the critical path, and its downtime is the plant downtime.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How Semi-Automatic Fillers Benefit Flexible Production.
Gravity fills to a level set by a tube, so accuracy depends on the bottle. A volumetric filler measures a chamber volume, which keeps it accurate when the format changes. Gravity is simpler and cheaper; volumetric is more repeatable when the bottle changes.
It depends on the principle and the product. A volumetric or load cell filler holds a tighter band than gravity on a variable bottle. The tolerance belongs in the acceptance protocol, measured by weight on a defined sample.
Yes, with change parts: star wheels, guide rails, grippers and a recipe. The parts are cheap compared with the changeover time, which is why most plants specify one dominant format.
Valve seals, piston seals, capping head inserts, guide rail blocks and one set of change parts for the second format. These are the items that stop a line for days when they fail.
