Introduction What a filler can be asked to do? Fillers, filling machines, are used to transfer many types of products from bulk storage bins and vats into the containers in which they find their way to the market. The great variety of products that are packaged and the containers that they fill has caused the development of a large number of processes, techniques, and machines that are used for product filling

Introduction 1. What a filler can be asked to do? Fillers, filling machines, are used to transfer many types of products from bulk storage bins and vats into the containers in which they find their way to the market. The great variety of products that are packaged and the containers that they fill has caused the development of a large number of processes, techniques, and machines that are used for product filling

Introduction 2. Considerations in selecting a filler Types of products: from very thin liquids to semi-liquid products, pastes, and solids; stable, volatile, explosive, hot frozen products o Size, shape, and construction of the containers glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles and cartons, paperboard boxes, metal cans, and plastic or paper bags e Way the product is measured: by volume, weight, or count

Liquid Filling o Most liquid and semi-liquid products are filled by one of two major methods: volumetric, or constant level filling o In volumetric filling the amount of product is premeasured so that each container has the same volume of product Constant level filling techniques fill each container to the same level, so it is frequently called the“ fill-to-a-|eve” method

Liquid Filling 3. Use of Filling Machines Volumetric filling is particularly appropriate for applications in the pharmaceutical industry where it is important that each container is accurately filled with a specific volume of product o Constant level filling is used with see-through bottles in which it is important that all of the bottles in a display appear to be filled to the same level, although the bottles may not be exactly the same size and the volumes may be slightly different
