Canister Filling Plants  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

The filling system for industrial requirements enables the fast and precise filling of low-viscosity to slightly viscous media from drums or containers into manually fed canisters at the touch of a button.

You want to fill high-viscosity and/or abrasive media from large containers into small pails? With ViscoTec systems you can fill cartridges, tins or buckets reliably and in a way that is gentle on the product.
We are equipped to meet every challenge in the field of product delivery, as certain factors play a significant role in this area: for example, high temperatures during a hot delivery procedure or CIP and SIP require a good deal of know-how when it comes to selecting elastomers and seals. All our delivery systems can be used for semi-automatic and fully automatic delivery tasks.

Core Processing TechnologiesOur filling machines integrate or utilize the following core processing technologies, tailored to specific product characteristics and filling requirements:
1. Volumetric Filling ProcessThis is one of the most common and precise filling methods, especially suitable for liquids and semi-liquids.
Piston Pump Filling:
Principle: Accurately dispenses a fixed volume of product through the reciprocating motion of a precision piston.
Advantages: Delivers extremely high filling accuracy and repeatability, suitable for a wide range of products from low viscosity (e.g., water, beverages) to high viscosity (e.g., creams, sauces). Easy to clean and maintain.
Flow Meter Filling:
Principle: Precisely measures the volume or mass of product flowing through a pipe using electromagnetic, mass, or gear flow meters.
Advantages: Offers non-contact filling, suitable for various viscosities, particularly for shear-sensitive or particulate-containing products. Easy to clean during product changeovers, high accuracy, and unaffected by temperature variations.
Time/Pressure Filling:
Principle: Dispenses product into containers for a set duration under controlled pressure through a fixed orifice.
Advantages: Simple structure, easy to clean, suitable for foamy or low-viscosity products.
2. Gravimetric Filling ProcessThis method controls fill volume by precise weighing, ideal for high-value products or applications with strict weight accuracy demands.
Principle: High-precision load cells are integrated beneath the filling head to continuously monitor the container's weight, stopping the fill once the preset weight is reached.
Advantages: Extremely high filling accuracy, unaffected by product density or temperature changes, ensures net content compliance, and reduces product giveaway. Suitable for high-value liquids, powders, or granular products.
3. Vacuum/Negative Pressure Filling ProcessBest suited for products prone to foaming, volatility, or those requiring air removal.
Principle: Creates a negative pressure inside the container, drawing product in via siphon action. Filling stops when the product reaches a specific liquid level.
Advantages: Effectively reduces foam, ensures consistent fill levels, and is ideal for rigid containers like glass bottles.
4. Nitrogen/Inert Gas Filling ProcessSpecifically designed for oxygen-sensitive food, pharmaceutical, and some cosmetic products.
Principle: Before or after filling, inert gas (like nitrogen) is flushed into the container to displace oxygen, inhibiting product oxidation.
Advantages: Significantly extends product shelf life, preserving flavor, color, and active ingredients.
5. CIP/SIP Cleaning & Sterilization (Clean-in-Place / Sterilize-in-Place)Crucial for food and pharmaceutical filling equipment to meet the highest hygiene standards.
Principle: Automated internal cleaning (CIP) and steam/chemical sterilization (SIP) cycles are performed without disassembling the equipment, controlled by the machine's program.
Advantages: Ensures thorough cleaning, prevents cross-contamination, reduces cleaning time, boosts production efficiency, and complies with stringent hygiene regulations like FDA and cGMP.
