Filling methods:

  • Atmospheric filling - For thin liquids by gravity
  • Pressure filling - For thicker liquids or faster speeds
  • Vacuum filling - For precise filling of expensive liquids

Accuracy: ±1% | Speed: 20-60 bottles/min

2. Powder Filling Machines

Suitable for: Milk powder, spices, pesticides, chemical powders

Filling methods:

  • Auger/screw filling - Most common, accurate volumetric dosing
  • Weighing filling - For higher accuracy requirements

Accuracy: ±1-2% | Speed: 20-50 bags/min

3. Key Selection Factors

  • Product characteristics: Liquid or powder? Viscosity? Particle size?
  • Container type: Bottles, jars, bags, or pouches?
  • Fill volume: How many ml or grams per fill?
  • Production rate: How many units per day?
  • Accuracy requirements: What tolerance is acceptable?

4. Common Applications
