Packaging machines are automated systems that place products into suitable packaging efficiently and safely — often with little to no manual intervention. They are used across almost all industries, from food and beverages to chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Depending on the application, packaging machines may perform individual process steps or operate as part of a complete packaging line. This includes, for example, filling machines for accurate dosing of liquids or viscous products, capping machines for secure container closure, bottle unscramblers for automated container infeed, and labelling machines for product identification. Modern systems often feature Industry 4.0 capabilities, advanced sensors, and automatic format changeovers to deliver high efficiency, flexibility, and process reliability.

Typical applications:

• Liquid filling into bottles, canisters, and jars
• Packing solid products into bags, cartons, or cans
• Pharmaceutical and cosmetic filling under cleanroom conditions
• Chemical products and technical fluids

Standards and quality requirements:

• CE marking in line with the Machinery Directive
• Hygienic design in accordance with HACCP and GMP
• ATEX versions for potentially explosive products
