What’s the difference between a volumetric filling machine and a liquid level filling machine?

May 1, 2019

[:en]At Adelphi we are often asked about the difference between a volumetric filling machine and a liquid level filling machine.

Volumetric filling machines fill your bottles or containers with a precise volume of your liquid product, regardless of what this may visually mean for the appearance of the final fill-level. Alternatively, liquid-level filling machines are designed to fill containers up to a specified level on the container, even if the exact volume of liquid in each bottle is not the same. Most bottles/containers have minor, naturally occurring variations in their volume, even if they all visually appear to be the same size and shape at a glance – for example, if you buy a batch of 5,000 250ml bottles, they will not all be precisely 250ml in size.

The difference is therefore whether you would like the volume of product in your containers to BE the same, or whether they need to LOOK the same to customers.

The Adelphi Response Benchtop Filler is a semi-automatic pneumatically driven bench top volumetric filling machine, suitable for filling liquids, pastes and solids in suspension in to all types of container. As your production requirements increase, your initial investment in the benchtop filler is not made obsolete, as the machine can be mounted onto our Monobloc Filler or Automation Base, to fully automate your processes.
