Liquid filling machines are used in all industries such as food, beverage, chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical. But small to medium sized companies employ lower capacity filling machines whereas high speed rotary liquid filling machines are meant for mass market beverage industry.
The industries mentioned above use filling machines of low speed, they usually fill less than 200 containers per minute. Any one type of filling machine can not be used by all industries for filling all types of liquid. For instance, a machine which is used to fill water in a bottle cannot be used to fill cosmetic cold cream. There are only few machines that are versatile, practical and cost effective at the same time.
Various factors to be considered while selecting a liquid filling machine are :
- Viscosity
- Temperature
- Chemical compatibility
- Particular size
- Foam characteristics
- Hazardous environment considerations
