When you’re dealing with thick, viscous products—like creams, gels, sauces, pastes—standard filling machines just can’t keep up. That’s why the UT60 High Viscosity Filling Line offers two excellent single‐head machines built specifically to handle products with higher consistency. These machines are ideal for small to medium scale producers who need accurate, repeatable fills without investing in full automation.
Types of High Viscosity Filling Options
1. Single Head Piston Filler
- Precision filling: Dispenses a preset quantity of thick product into containers.
- Built tough: All stainless steel & non‐ferrous components ensure hygiene and durability.
- Adjustable flow: Use the pneumatic piston control, tuning speed with a flow valve to match both bottle size and product thickness.
- Manual operation: Every filling cycle starts when an operator activates it.
2. Single Head Peristaltic Pump Filler
- Mobile and versatile: Portable unit, easy to move between workstations.
- Flexible portioning: The fill quantity is infinitely adjustable—ideal for shifting product lines or container sizes.
- Dual mode operations: Manual mode (one cycle per trigger) or semi‐automatic (one trigger starts continuous cycles with necessary pauses to reposition containers).
- Key for consistency: For accurate fills, supply product under steady pressure—use a balance tank or similarly uniform feed.
Performance & Capacity
- These machines can achieve up to 600 bottles per hour, depending on the container size and viscosity of your product.
- Actual speed varies: thicker products and larger volumes take more time per fill.
Why These Machines Are Great for Your Business
- Hygienic & Safe for Food/Cosmetics: The stainless steel build is ideal for regulatory requirements in South Africa.
- Accurate & Repeatable: Avoid overfilling or underfilling—essential for cost control and professional presentation.
- Adaptable: Whether you package creams, pastes, or viscous sauces, these machines can be adjusted to your consistency and container.
- Scalable without overspending: Move from small batches to higher output as business grows without replacing the filling tech entirely.
What to Check Before Buying
- Is your product’s viscosity compatible? If too thick, even the piston or peristaltic pump might struggle.
- Do you have feed systems (e.g., a balance tank) for consistent supply to the filler?
- Can you adapt container size and fill weight easily? Flexible sizing = better value.
- After‐sales support & parts availability locally in South Africa.
- Cleanability: accessibility of parts for washdown if you adhere to strict hygiene standards.
Conclusion
If you make thick sauces, creams, gels, or pasty products, the UT60 high viscosity single‐head piston or peristaltic filling machines are excellent entry to intermediate solutions. They deliver good speed, strong accuracy, and flexibility—perfect for your business lineup without the cost of full automation.
