How to Choose the Right Filling Machine for Your Product

Choosing the right filling machine depends on your product viscosity, container type, production speed requirements, and budget.

1. Understand Your Product Characteristics

Viscosity is the most critical factor. Thin liquids like water need gravity or overflow fillers, while thick pastes require piston fillers.

2. Match Machine Speed to Your Needs

Don’t overpay for capacity you won’t use. A 2,000 BPH machine is perfectly adequate for a startup.

3. Consider Format Changeover Time

If you run multiple bottle sizes, quick-change features can save hours of downtime per week.

4. Factor in Total Cost of Ownership

Initial price matters, but maintenance costs and energy consumption determine your real investment.
