A filling machine is a key component of modern packaging lines, designed to dispense liquids or viscous products into containers such as bottles, canisters, or jars with high precision. It is used across many industries, including food and beverage, chemicals, and pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing.

A filling machine operates using defined dosing and filling technologies, such as flow measurement systems, piston dosing, or gravimetric filling. Depending on the product, viscosity, and hygiene requirements, the machine can be configured to suit the application. Modern systems offer fully automated control, accurate fill-volume regulation, and optional cleaning features, including CIP systems.

Typical applications:

• Filling liquids into bottles, canisters, or jars
• Filling viscous products such as creams, sauces, or oils
• Chemical industry (cleaning agents, paints, solvents)
• Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics (syrups, lotions, shampoo)

Standards and safety considerations:

• Compliance with hygiene standards (e.g., HACCP, GMP)
• Operation under explosion protection (Ex) conditions for flammable liquids
• CE marking in line with the Machinery Directive
