Choosing the right filling machine can make a difference in terms of productivity, quality, and costs. Not all filling machines are created equal: each type of product—liquid, dense, suspended—requires specific solutions. In this article, we explore the key criteria to consider when selecting a filling machine, ensuring an effective and customized investment.
These characteristics directly influence the type of dosing machine required: for example, a piston technology is very suitable for dense or suspended products, because it ensures stable volumetric dosing, even with high viscosity.
Once the product has been defined, the required production capacity must be evaluated.
If the production is on large volumes, it will be useful to consider dosing machines with numerous pistons (for example our D500 50 pistons) which allow high productivity and dosage stability even at high speed.
The data to be checked is the useful cycle: filling time, format changeover time, downtime.
Many canning companies operate with heterogeneous or already operational systems. In this scenario, it's crucial that the new filling machine integrates seamlessly into the existing production line.
When evaluating a dosing machine, it's not enough to just look at capacity: it's also important to consider energy efficiency, ease of maintenance and cleaning, and the reduction of product waste.
Inaccurate dosing leads to waste, rework, and hidden costs. Modern volumetric technologies reduce filling errors and increase the quality of the result. Furthermore, machines designed with durable components and accessible layouts facilitate maintenance and reduce downtime.
Choosing a dosing machine isn't just a purchase: it's a long-term investment. You need to consider the supplier's quality, spare parts availability, operator training, and the possibility of remote assistance or future upgrades.
A supplier who supports the company in after-sales services, who knows the canning industry well and who offers customized solutions, significantly increases the value of the investment.
