In the industrial sector, the filling and conditioning of packaging represents a major challenge. Precise dosage, safe handling and optimum protection are essential factors in guaranteeing the quality and reliability of finished products.
Yet this can be a complex process, mainly due to the diversity of formats and specificities of each product. Etraves, a specialist in the packaging of industrial products, supports companies in this demanding task by offering solutions adapted to each type of packaging.
In this article, we present methods and best practices for filling plastic tubes, pots, bags and cans.
Filling solutions for all types of industrial packaging
We make only liquid and pasty products:
- Liquid pumps. These machines move liquid, pasty or even viscous products into containers using peristaltic or piston pumps. They ensure precise filling and can handle products containing particles, while guaranteeing safety and cleanliness.
- Volumetric filling. This process measures a fixed volume of product before pouring it into the pack. It is fast, suitable for free-flowing products, and enables reliable control of the quantity dispensed.
- Gravity filling (simple or assisted). Product flows naturally by gravity into the container
Which filling method to choose, depending on packaging and product type?
The choice of filling technique depends on both the type of packaging and the nature of the industrial product.
For plastic tubes, liquid or pasty products are generally packaged. On automatic lines, offering high productivity and precise, regular dosing.
When filling pots and sachets, pasty products are often filled using volumetric dosers.
For metalcans and buckets, pasty products are generally filled on filling machines, enabling the quantity dispensed to be adapted to the packaging format. Liquid or semi-liquid products, on the other hand, require pumps or gravimetric filling to guarantee homogeneity and protect the product during the operation.
To remember: The choice of filling method for industrial packaging also depends on the volume to be produced, the product's viscosity or density, and production constraints. The right technique optimizes filling precision, limits losses and guarantees compliance with industrial standards.
Whatever the filling method, traceability and weight conformity are guaranteed thanks to precise procedures and controlled regulated scales.
