Thick and viscous products

Viscous chemical filling machines for thick liquids, gels and pastes.

Viscous products need careful pump, nozzle and shut-off selection. The best choice depends on product flow, fill size, accuracy, pack opening and cleaning or changeover requirements.

What to check

Specify the machine around the product, container and closure.

Viscous products need careful pump, nozzle and shut-off selection. The best choice depends on product flow, fill size, accuracy, pack opening and cleaning or changeover requirements.

Important quotation points

  • Confirm viscosity at filling temperature.
  • Check whether the product strings, drips or contains solids.
  • Review the pack neck or opening size.
  • Plan cleaning, purging and product changeover routines.

FAQ

Viscous Chemical Filling Machines UK questions

Which pump suits viscous chemicals?

The pump choice depends on viscosity, shear sensitivity, solids, fill size and accuracy requirements.

Can viscous products be filled through small necks?

Sometimes, but fill speed and nozzle design may be limited by the pack opening.

Can one filler handle both thin and thick products?

A broad range is possible, but pump suitability, cleaning and accuracy should be checked.

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.
