How To Choose The Right Liquid Filling Machine

 To choose the right liquid filling machine that suits your production needs best, you can consider the three following principles:

1. High productivity and quality

The level of productivity directly reflects the capacity of the production line. Therefore, the higher the productivity, the better the economic benefits it produces. In order to improve the quality of enterprise products, liquid filling machines with high equipment precision and high degree of automation should be selected. However, the selling price of the equipment will understandably be higher. Therefore, when making the buying decision, you need to take all such things into account, as well as the specific requirements of the production process.

2. Choose filling machines that serves best the production process

The right liquid filling machine should be selected according to the nature of the filling material (viscosity, foaming, volatility, gas content, etc.) to meet the technological requirements of product production. For example, for liquor with strong aroma, in order to avoid the loss of volatile aromatic substances, a cup-filling or atmospheric filling machine should generally be used. For liquid products like juices, in order to reduce air contact and ensure product quality, generally should be used vacuum juice filling machine. 

Again, the production capacity of the liquid filling machine should be matched with that of the before- and after-filling processing machinery.

3. Choose filling machines with wider scope of processing

The process range of the liquid filling machine refers to its ability to adapt to different production requirements. The wider the process range, the more the utilization rate of the equipment can be improved, and one machine can be used for multiple purposes, that is, the same equipment can be used to fill a variety of materials and specifications. Therefore, in order to meet the production requirements of multiple varieties and specifications in the wine and beverage industries, a liquid filling machine with the widest possible process range should be selected.
