Filling machinery guide

Choose the right liquid filling machine.

The best filler depends on viscosity, foaming, solids, container size, fill accuracy, hygiene, hazardous area classification and required output.

Filling methods

Matching the filling method to the product.

Use this as a starting point. Lancing can review samples and containers to confirm the final configuration.

Peristaltic fillingHigh-value, hygienic or small-dose liquids where the product should only contact tubing.
Essential oils, fragrance, lab liquids, small bottles
Piston / volumetric fillingAccurate measured doses for low-to-high viscosity products.
Sauces, creams, shampoo, gels, honey
Gear pump fillingFast, controllable liquid filling for oils and thicker liquids.
Lubricants, edible oils, detergents
Diaphragm pump fillingFoamy or viscous liquids requiring a robust pump system.
Shampoo, detergents, gels
Weigh fillingLarge-volume containers or products where weight control is preferred.
Buckets, jerrycans, oils, chemicals
Counter-pressure fillingCarbonated liquids that need pressure maintained during filling.
Beer, sparkling drinks, soda, RTD cans
ATEX / hazardous fillingFlammable solvents or zoned environments requiring appropriate risk assessment.
Solvents, alcohol bases, perfumes

Line integration

Filling, capping, labelling and packaging as one joined-up system.

Lancing can supply filling machinery as standalone equipment or as part of a complete line with conveyors, rinsing, feeding, capping, labelling, coding, sealing, shrink wrapping and end-of-line packing.

This approach gives one specification process, more consistent line speed planning and fewer integration issues during installation.

FAQ

Liquid filling machinery questions.

Do I need a semi-automatic or automatic filling machine?

Semi-automatic filling suits lower volumes, frequent changeovers and controlled budgets. Automatic filling is usually preferred when throughput, labour reduction and line consistency are priorities.

Can one machine fill multiple bottle sizes?

Many machines can be adjusted for several containers and fill volumes. The correct answer depends on the bottle dimensions, fill range and changeover requirements.

Can Lancing supply capping and labelling with the filler?

Yes. Lancing supplies filling, capping, labelling and packaging systems, from standalone machines to complete automated lines.

Can you handle corrosive or flammable liquids?

Corrosive products require compatible wetted parts. Flammable products may require ATEX or hazardous-area review. Share the SDS and site information before specification.
