Purchasing Filling Machines? Check This Out

Buying a filling machine is a difficult decision to make and it becomes more difficult when you have several options in front of you. There are a lot of things that need to be taken into consideration when buying any machine no matter it's a filling machine, a sealing machine, a capping machine or a labeling machine. In this post, I am going to discuss factors to keep in mind when buying a filling machine.        

                                             

What Will Be You Be Filling?

The product you are going to fill will decide which machine is best for you as there are different types of filling machines for accomplishing different filling jobs. Every single product is unique in itself. This means a single filling machine can't handle the filling job of each type of product. For filling powders into containers, there are powder filling machines and for filling liquids, there are liquid filling machines and so on. 

Check Whether Your Product is Carbonated?
This is an important factor to consider as carbonated products such as beverages, soda and champagne require a different filling technique. For handling the filling job of carbonated products, you can take use counter pressure fillers. 

What Type of Container Are You Filling?
The type of container has an important role because every machine works differently. Some machines grab the product from the top while some do the job from the side. It means if your container has a unique cap or lid, then a filling machine that grabs from the top might not work for that type of container. 

What is Your Production Rate?
No doubt you need an efficient machine for handling your packaging process. You can get successful in finding an efficient machine only when you have information about your current and future production needs. Always invest in a machine according to your requirement not on the basis what others are doing.
