How to choose a right liquid filling machine company and supplier-brightwin

If you are new to the liquid filling machine, trying to find the best liquid filling machine for your product ,but sometimes feel confusing and overwhelming with the various options and machines… now follow with us to find the solution for how to choose a right liquid filling machine.

However, at brightwin machinery we understand how important it is for you to make the right decision and to choose the best liquid filling machine for your project, and we’re here to assist you.

To get started, there are many factors to take into consideration when choosing a liquid filling machine, such as overflow, gravity, pistons, and pumps, and choosing the right machine also depends on what you want to achieve.

 

We’ve put together some helpful questions to act as a starting place, and the answers to these questions will help to guide you towards choosing the best machine.

First:When choosing a liquid filling machine, one of the first questions will be what product or products are being bottled. Different types of filling machines can handle different liquid viscosity.

For example, a thick product may be more suited for a piston filler than an overflow filling machine. While thin products may fill better with a gravity filler and the piston filling machine also can be used for filling thin products.

Second:if our products have unique characteristics, this can influence filling? Any unique product characteristics maybe can impact on filling method choosing and some other solution added. For example, some products may change viscosity as the temperature changes. Other liquid products might contain particulates, such as salad dressings or some liquid soaps, some liquid soaps is easy to foam, like detergent, handsanitizer,shampoo,etc,when filling this type product, the filling machine need to be equipped with foam absorb device, please see below video.

 

A spaghetti sauce with chunks of vegetables using an overflow filler or gravity filler could cause nozzles or hoses to become blocked or jammed, resulting in a rather inefficient filling process. In this case, a piston filling machine might be more suitable to drive such product filling.so no matter what features your products have, it’s better to let the filling machine supplier know its features, which can help you to choose a right liquid filling machine.

 

Third:need to know what type of container or bottle are you using?

We all know in such packing line, include filling machines, capping machines, labeling machines and other packing machines, all these machines need to be customized according to your bottles and caps. Different bottles and caps, the machines also different, different machines, its price maybe different. Also for other products may use large containers or small containers, which in turn can influence the machine or the nozzles that will be used for packaging. So it’s helpful to choose a right filling machine that let liquid filling machine supplier knows that which kind of container/bottle you plan to use.

Forth:the capacity per hour you need? That is to say how many bottles per hour you need to be produced? For liquid filling machine, different capacity, the numbers of the filling nozzles are different.the price for liquid filling machine also different. Such as if we want 10 bottles per minute, maybe 2 nozzles is ok. But if we want 100 bottles per minute, 2 nozzles can not reach 100bottles per minute.


The production requirements will help to determine which machine is most suitable. Each type of filling machine can be manufactured as a table top filler, a semi-automatic machine or a fully automated piece of equipment.

Semi-automatic equipment requires manual labour to place bottles, activate the fill process and remove the filled containers. This can slow down the rate at which the process is completed.

Automated machines will require less operator interaction and the rate of filling can increase dramatically. Therefore, the number of bottles per minute required to reach production demands will also assist in finding the perfect machine for any project.


These are, of course, not an exhaustive list of the questions that need to be answered. However, they provide a starting point which can lead to more specific questions regarding any given project. Future growth, current budget, the likelihood of additional products and many other factors will also help to identify the ideal solution for any individual project.
