Filling machines are an important part of the production chain

With the following description we would like to give you some important details on the topic filling machines In this way, we underline our competence in this area, since the highest demands for filling machines are an important benchmark for us.

Filling machines must meet the highest requirements

Filling machines must work precisely and must not be prone to errors or malfunctions. The decision when choosing the right filling machine should initially be based on the selection of the dosing method.

Compromise of three important factors. Every filling machine has its own dosing system. Three factors are crucial for making the right choice: the accuracy, the filling speed and the product protection must be coordinated in order to produce the right filling machine.

We have several dosing systems that are used according to the respective requirements: piston (mechanical or servo), sliding valve (mechanical or servo), rotary piston, peristaltic pump, gear pump, impeller and flow meter.

Which of the dosing systems mentioned above is ultimately used for the filling machines depends particularly on the following factors:

• The product properties
• The desired filling speed
• The dosing accuracy
• The production routes (batch production or continuous production)
• type of cleaning

Which filling machines and dosing systems are used for what:

Filling machines with linear piston:

for liquids, for pastes and everywhere where different pre-pressures are to be expected.

• … with sliding valve: are used for products with large temperature differences during filling or for products with very different viscosities.
• … with rotary piston: are used for high-precision filling or for abrasive products. Also used for filling very small quantities (smallest volumes).
• … with peristaltic pump: for easy cleaning or single-use product routes.
• … with flow meter: are used for larger filling volumes and for classic in-line or carousel filling machines. Also for applications with CIP cleaning.

Each of our filling machines can also be equipped with the appropriate sealing machine combine.
