Filling route
Automatic piston filling line
A practical route when an established thick-sauce recipe is moving into repeat filling across several dose sizes. The hardest product and format-change method decide whether piston filling belongs in the trial.
When a thick sauce needs volumetric dosing while stringing and product left in the cylinder also matter, a piston route is a practical starting point.
Send the real product and pack, minimum and maximum doses, and changeover method. The trial can then focus on piston stroke, valve, drip handling, and shutoff behavior.
The piston route is built around the metering cylinder, suction and discharge strokes, and changeover valve, with optional infeed, rinsing, cap handling, capping, labeling, sleeving, and case handling.
The piston route's metering cylinder, nozzle, drip handling, cleaning, and end-of-line interfaces are confirmed from real product, bottle and cap samples, minimum and maximum doses, stringing or dripping condition, and format-change method.
We put piston stroke, nozzle, drip handling, level feed, and adjustments into the trial. Dosing behavior and rate apply only to the product-and-pack combination tested.
