Top 10 Tips for Selecting Filling and Capping Machines: Expert Guide to Avoid Pitfalls

Summary:We provide you with an Expert Guide to Avoid Pitfalls.

1. Define Your Needs: Match Machine to Production Scenario


  • Laboratory Use: Choose compact tabletop models (e.g., single-head peristaltic pump fillers) for 0.1–100ml micro-filling.

  • Mass Production: Opt for high-speed fully automatic lines (e.g., 10-head magnetic pump fillers) with ≥80 bottles/min capacity.

2. Precision Control: Minimize Waste, Maximize Profit


  • Select machines with ≤±0.3ml error for high-value products (e.g., cosmetics, pharmaceuticals).

  • Example: Micro-dosing fillers achieve ≤0.1ml error via high-precision cam indexing, ideal for eye drops.

3. Speed vs. Capacity: Calculate Before Buying

  • Daily output = Required bottles/day ÷ (Working hours × 60). For 50,000 bottles/day, choose ≥80 bottles/min machines.

  • Reserve 20% capacity for future expansion.

4. Material Safety: Food-Grade & Corrosion-Resistant

  • Acidic Liquids (e.g., juice): Use 316L stainless steel.

  • Alkaline Liquids (e.g., detergent): Opt for ceramic or plastic pumps.

  • High-Temperature Sterilization: Choose PTFE seals.

5. Automation Upgrade: Smart Control Saves Labor

  • IoT-enabled machines allow remote monitoring, parameter adjustment, and production reporting.

  • AI vision systems detect defects automatically, improving yield to 99.9%.

6. Compatibility Test: One Machine, Multiple Caps


  • Test adaptability to caps (aluminum/plastic/tamper-evident) and torque range (0.5–5N·m).

  • Example: Chen’s Zhonghuan models support 5–50mm cap diameters, covering 80% of common bottles.

7. Safety Design: Protect Operators & Equipment


  • Check for CE certification, enclosed rotating parts, and visible emergency stops.

  • Isolate electrical cabinets to prevent dust ingress.

8. Energy Efficiency: Lower Power = Lower Costs


  • Compare power (380V vs. 220V), air consumption (0.6–0.8MPa), and standby power.

  • Energy-saving servo motors reduce costs by 30% vs. traditional models.

9. After-Sales Network: National Coverage for Quick Support

  • Choose brands with service centers nationwide (e.g., Chen’s Zhonghuan, Guangzhou Donghong) for 48-hour on-site repairs.

  • Stock 80% of common spare parts (e.g., seals, pump heads) to avoid downtime.

10. Trial Run: Details Reveal Quality

  • Observe:

    • Dripping at filling heads?

    • Loose caps after capping?

    • Noise level ≤70dB?

    • Intuitive Chinese interface?

  • Peer-recommended models reduce trial-and-error risks.

Final Tip: Prioritize suppliers with 10+ years of experience and industry certifications (e.g., ISO, GMP).
