Identify the Products Being Filled

For a cosmetic company you may be distributing mascara that needs a very specific type of container, while a beverage business may only need two liter bottles of soda all day long. The type of liquid and type of product container will make a big difference in finding a machine that matches your needs.

Choose Between Manual, Semi-Automatic, or Automatic

Just like a car, a filling machine allows you to choose your level of involvement with the process.  If you need a certain number of bottles filled per minute, automatic is best. But if your products are delicate and require specialized attention, manual might be better. It call comes down to the number of containers per day and per hour you need to see produced in order to meet your goals.

What Do Your Fluids Require?
