What to check

Specify the machine around the product, container and closure.

Paints and varnishes can be viscous, stringy or prone to skinning. Filling equipment should be reviewed around product behaviour, pack size, cleaning, lid handling and batch changeover.

Important quotation points

  • Confirm viscosity range, solids and whether the product settles.
  • Check drip, stringing and nozzle shut-off requirements.
  • Review tin, lid, pail or bottle dimensions.
  • Plan cleaning and colour-change routines.

FAQ

Paint & Varnish Filling Machines UK questions

Can paint fillers handle viscous products?

Yes. Pump choice, nozzle shut-off and fill control should be matched to viscosity and pack size.

What makes paint filling different from water-thin liquid filling?

Viscosity, solids, colour change, cleaning and stringing usually need more attention.

Can pails be filled automatically?

Yes, but pail handling, fill weight, lid application and conveying need to be reviewed together.

What should I send for a quote?

Send the product details, SDS where relevant, fill volume range, container dimensions or photos, closure type, target output and any compatibility or site constraints.
