Filling Machine
Filling machines are used to load various containers with a designated amount of product. These machines fill pre-made bottles, bags, cans, and jars and then send them to be sealed. Filling machines insert liquids and solids, such as food, beverages, chemicals, medicines, inks, cosmetics, and cleaning products, into containers.
Filling machines can be designed in various ways to accommodate for different materials and products. Liquids and solids require different kinds of designs, as do liquids of varying viscosities. For example, auger machines usually fill containers with dry, fine-grained products, such as coffee, flour, sugar, and dried milk, but would not be used to fill bottles with ink.
Filling machines are typically part of an assembly line of packaging machines. They often work in conjunction with a conveyer belt that moves product to capping, sealing, and labeling machines. Packaging machines ensure precision and can fill more products per minute than could be filled through human labor.
