Unique Characteristics

There are many liquids that change consistency or consistency as the local temperature begins to change. Other liquids may contain particles, such as liquid soap and salad dressing. Any liquid with unique characteristics will have an impact on the preferred type of filler. For thick liquids like spaghetti sauce, which includes sliced mushrooms or vegetables, it will definitely benefit from a piston machine because it has wide channels. Using the wrong machine can quickly lead to clogging, which means the filling process is problematic and slow.

Type of container or bottle

The type of container or bottle is a further consideration when choosing a preferred machine. For example, clear bottles are often used with overflow fillers to achieve consistent filling levels. This will provide the most appealing appearance when placed on store shelves. In addition, the size of the bottle will also affect the type of filling nozzle to be used.

The level of automation varies from one filling machine to another. The machine is designed to be fully automatic, semi-automatic, or tabletop. The fastest filling option is an automated machine, which is much faster than alternative machines and requires minimal operator interaction once the job is underway. Semi-automatic is much slower to produce because it requires manual opening of the filling process and cleaning of the filled bottles as needed. The preferred liquid filling machine should be able to meet the production needs of specific business size.

Type of liquid

A major consideration for filling machines relates to the type of product being bottled. Liquids can be vicious, thick, and semi-fluid, so a matching machine must be used. For example, thick liquids are best paired with piston fillers, and thin liquids work well with gravity fillers. There are some liquids that can be satisfactorily used with the same machine, but it is often beneficial to always stick with a specific type of machine to complement the product.
