Product behaviour
The machine specification should review product temperature, particulate size, hopper design, nozzle diameter, drip control and clean-down. Manual, semi-automatic or automatic handling can be matched to the output target.
Jam fillers
Jam filling machines for jars and viscous food products.
Jam, chutney and preserve filling requires careful handling of viscosity, temperature and possible fruit particulates. Lancing can specify jar filling systems for small-batch or higher-output production.
Specification guide
How to choose the right machine.
Use these notes to narrow the specification before requesting a quotation.
Container and fill range
Confirm bottle, jar, vial, bucket or jerrycan dimensions, neck opening, fill volume range and whether the same machine must cover multiple formats.
Output target
Daily volume and containers per minute decide whether a compact, semi-automatic or fully automatic configuration is the sensible starting point.
Changeover and cleaning
Product-contact parts, hose sets, hopper design and tool-free changeover can make a major difference when products or container sizes change regularly.
Applications
Typical uses for this filling machinery.
- jams and preserves
- chutneys and relishes
- jar filling
- viscous food products
Lancing can review the product, container and target output to recommend a practical machine configuration rather than a generic one-size-fits-all filler.

FAQ
Common questions.
What information is needed to specify a jam filling machine?
The main details are product name, viscosity, fill volume, container dimensions, closure type, required output, cleaning requirements and whether the liquid is foamy, corrosive, flammable, hot-filled or hygienic.
Can Lancing supply semi-automatic and automatic jam filling machine options?
Yes. Lancing can discuss semi-automatic, compact and fully automatic configurations depending on output target, operator involvement and future production plans.
How do I know which filling method is right?
The best method depends on product behaviour. Thin liquids, viscous products, foamy liquids, corrosive chemicals and high-value small fills may each need a different filling principle.
