Gravity Fillers

Also called gravimetric fillers, these filling machines dispense typically water-thin or low viscosity liquids from an upper chamber by dropping the product into a container, such as a bottle.

Category Explained

Gravity fillers, often referred to as gravimetric fillers, are designed to accurately dispense liquids with low to medium viscosity levels from a reservoir located above the filling nozzle. Utilizing the force of gravity, these machines allow for the product to flow into containers, including bottles and jars, in a controlled manner. This method is particularly effective for handling a wide range of liquid products, from water-thin substances to slightly thicker fluids, ensuring precise volume control and consistent fill levels. Gravity fillers are commonly employed in industries such as beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, where the efficient and uniform packaging of liquid products is essential.

Typical products and applications include:

  • Still water, juice, or vinegar: Filled into bottles for retail sale using non-contact, gravity-based methods
  • Liquid pharmaceuticals (e.g., cough syrups): Dispensed into vials or bottles with consistent volume
  • Personal care products like toner or mouthwash: Gravity-fed into plastic or glass containers
  • Cleaning agents or light detergents: Filled into retail or bulk containers with minimal foaming
  • Flavored extracts or essential oils: Accurately dispensed into small bottles in cosmetic or food applications

Additional Considerations:

  • Cost-effective and simple operation: Fewer moving parts make these machines affordable and easy to maintain
  • Ideal for low-viscosity liquids: Best suited for thin or free-flowing products without particulates
  • Provides consistent fill levels: Gravity ensures smooth, even distribution across multiple containers
  • Available in semi-automatic and fully automatic models: Scalable for small batch or high-speed production
  • Compatible with various container types and sizes: Easily adjustable to accommodate different product lines
