How Filling Machines Evolved

Learn how filling machines evolved into the modern appliances we use today.

Liquid filling machines have been a fixture in manufacturing since the early 20th century. Why? These machines can make production seamless and consistent for liquid products that are often difficult to produce consistently. Over the years, liquid filling machines have evolved to create fewer labor-intensive processes and incorporate greater automation. Businesses in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and health science fields can especially benefit from these machines. Read on to learn more about the evolution of liquid filling machines, and then call Filamatic today to discuss the modern options available for your facility.

Liquid Filling Machines in Manufacturing

The earliest liquid filling machines operated on a system where liquid was inserted into fixed-line bottles or containers at pre-set rates. Today, however, technological developments have led to timed flow machines that deliver more accuracy without losing time or quality. This system is especially beneficial for products where temperature control and stability are an issue, such as beer, baby food bottled products, or food products with defined use-by times.

The technology behind filling machines has evolved from the early bulky manual systems to semi-automatic and now fully automatic machines that can be adjusted for multiple products.

Where Filling Technology Can Take Your Business

New model filling machines can help your business maximize output, reduce contamination and product loss, and streamline cleaning processes. Semi-automated filling machines are faster and more accurate than manual devices and can fill a range of containers. Fully automated machines can help businesses looking for maximum efficiency. They can be used to handle liquids of various viscosities without changing the entire setup.

Innovations incorporating nozzles, caps, and fill lines provide greater automation and higher precision to optimize and increase your production capacity.

Less Labor Intensive Processes Encourage a Skilled Workforce

Today, when pre-packaged and readily available goods are in high demand, it’s essential to establish suitable manufacturing processes for your business to increase your product output. In the past, companies would need labor to handle the repetitive tasks involved in the filling process.

By using automated or semi-automated machines instead, you help employees avoid injuries related to repetitive movements and free them up to engage in higher-end tasks requiring specific skills. This increases the talent and focus of your workforce while ensuring that the production line can maintain a high rate that meets your production demand.

Liquid Machine Costs in Production

The operational costs related to liquid filling machines have also evolved. There are numerous options manufacturers can explore today, including renting or buying appliances. Liquid filling machines also provide a strong return on investment, as the efficiency and quality control they provide help you avoid expenses related to product waste, recalls, or production pauses.
