An introduction to liquid filling

Technology

Liquid filling usually means filling bottles, such as those used by both the pharmaceutical and food industries. The machines that do this work by passing bottles and containers along a conveyor belt, filling them from nozzles.

This process uses many different types of machinery, both semi-automatic and fully automatic. The processes can even sometimes be manual. Using advanced technology means that automatic liquid bottle filling machines can deliver maximum productivity, with different filing speeds and the use of adjustable nozzles to accommodate various bottle types.

Let’s take a look at the different types of machinery available for liquid filling:

Liquid bottle filling

A liquid bottle filling machine is a vital component of liquid packaging lines within the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. It automates the process of filling bottles with liquids, boosting efficiency and accuracy and streamlining operations.

Digital liquid filling

Digital liquid filling offers precise measurement and easy adjustment, making it suitable for products when accurate fill levels are crucial. Digital liquid filling machines are versatile and can handle a wide range of liquid viscosities and bottle sizes, helping to reduce manual labour and increase productivity.

Aseptic liquid filling

An aseptic liquid filling machine is designed to store sterilised liquid products. Commonly used in the pharmaceutical and food industries to fill sensitive liquids, such as vaccines, medicines and dairy products, this type of machine prevents cross-contamination.

Servo based linear piston filling machine

A servo based linear piston machine uses servo motors for precise control over the piston’s movement. With a high rate of accuracy, this machine is commonly used in the production of mayonnaise, honey, peanut butter, and other food products. It can fill around 20 bottles per minute, depending on bottle size.

Monoblock bottle filling and capping machine

A monoblock bottle filling and capping machine is a versatile unit that combines both filling and capping functions in a single system. This makes it an ideal choice for the pharmaceutical industry. It reduces both labour costs and the risk of cross-contamination.
