Volumetric filling routes

Chemical piston filling machines for viscous liquids and gels.

Piston filling can be relevant for viscous or semi-viscous products where a controlled volumetric dose is needed. Suitability depends on product chemistry, viscosity, particulate content, cleaning and the size range being filled.

What to check

Build the specification around the liquid and pack.

Piston filling can be relevant for viscous or semi-viscous products where a controlled volumetric dose is needed. Suitability depends on product chemistry, viscosity, particulate content, cleaning and the size range being filled.

Before a machine is shortlisted, the product data, fill volume, container shape, cap or closure, batch size and target output should be reviewed together. This helps avoid choosing equipment that fills the liquid but struggles with the finished pack.

Important quotation points

  • Confirm viscosity, particulates and whether the product strings or drips.
  • Review seals and contact materials for chemical compatibility.
  • Check fill range, speed target and required accuracy.
  • Plan cleaning access and changeover between products.

FAQ

Chemical Piston Filling Machines UK questions

Are piston fillers good for thick chemicals?

They can be, but the product chemistry and cleaning requirements must be checked.

Can corrosive products use piston filling?

Only if contact materials, seals and design are suitable for the product.

Can piston filling be automated?

Yes, it can be supplied as semi-automatic or integrated into automatic lines where suitable.
