Coating product filling

Varnish and wood stain filling machines for tins, bottles and pails.

Varnish and wood stain products can be solvent-based, water-based, thin, pigmented or prone to drips. The filling route should be selected around viscosity, flammability, container opening, closure type and label requirements.

What to check

Build the specification around the liquid and pack.

Varnish and wood stain products can be solvent-based, water-based, thin, pigmented or prone to drips. The filling route should be selected around viscosity, flammability, container opening, closure type and label requirements.

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 whether the product is solvent-based and needs ATEX review.
  • Check viscosity, pigment settling and drip control.
  • Review tins, bottles, pails and cap/lid format.
  • Consider labelling, coding and line cleaning between colours.
