Dosing & Filling Technologies

BREITNER Abfüllanlagen & Abfüllmaschinen

Under-mirror filling

Filling process below the liquid level – a method that is particularly useful for foaming, sensitive or viscous products. The orange filling nozzle is immersed in the container in a controlled manner to ensure foam-free, safe and gentle filling.

Ideal for demanding applications in the food, cosmetics and chemical industries.

BREITNER Abfüllanlagen & Abfüllmaschinen

Over-mirror filling

Overfill filling is a proven method for ensuring that bottles and containers are always filled to a uniform level, regardless of minimal differences in container volume. Unlike other dosing methods, the filling tube does not dip into the bottle but remains at the neck of the bottle. From there, the product is filled until the fill level reaches exactly the desired level.

BREITNER Abfüllanlagen & Abfüllmaschinen

CIP/SIP

CIP (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilisation in place) functions on BREITNER filling machines. These automated cleaning and sterilisation processes are carried out without dismantling the system and ensure maximum hygiene and product safety. Ideal for demanding applications with high cleaning requirements. BREITNER integrates CIP/SIP systems individually – for time-saving, reproducible and validatable cleaning processes in your production. Efficient, safe and compliant with standards.

FAQ:
Frequently asked questions about filling machines &
filling systems for liquids

What is a filling machine and what is it used for?

Filling machines precisely measure out and fill liquid or paste-like products into containers such as bottles or canisters. They are used in sectors including the food, chemical, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, and can be operated as stand-alone machines or as part of a complete filling and packaging line.

Which filling machine is suitable for liquid products in industrial settings?

The choice of suitable filling machine depends, amongst other things, on viscosity, flow behaviour, foaming, fill volume, container type and the required output. Depending on the application, BREITNER utilises various dosing techniques, such as flow measurement, piston dosing or peristaltic pumps, and tailors the filling technology specifically to the product and production process.

Which filling method is suitable for viscous or paste-like products?

Piston dosing systems are particularly suitable for viscous and paste-like products. These systems mechanically dispense a defined volume, enabling even highly viscous products to be filled with precision and reproducibility. The optimal dosing technology depends on the specific product properties and process requirements.

What is the difference between flow measurement and piston metering?

In flow measurement, the quantity of product dispensed is recorded by a measuring system during the filling process. BREITNER uses, amongst other things, inductive and mass flow measurement. In piston dosing, on the other hand, a defined volume is dispensed mechanically. Which method is suitable depends, for example, on viscosity, conductivity, fill quantity and product behaviour.

Can bottles and canisters be processed on the same filling machine?
