For manufacturers of creams, pastes, and viscous products, accurate and efficient filling is critical. Inconsistent fill volumes can lead to product waste, regulatory issues, and reduced production efficiency. The Accutek AVF Series Automatic Piston Filler provides a reliable, high-precision solution designed specifically for viscous liquids, creams, and pastes, offering manufacturers a turnkey filling system that meets both production and compliance needs.
Why Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic, and Food Manufacturers Choose Piston Filling Technology
Automatic piston fillers are designed to handle thick liquids and pastes where other filling technologies, like gravity or overflow fillers, are inadequate. Piston fillers uses a precision-driven piston and cylinder system to deliver consistent product volumes, reduce spillage, and minimize product waste.
Key advantages include:
- Precise and repeatable dosing
- Minimal foaming for viscous products
- Flexibility across multiple container sizes
- Compatibility with capping and labeling systems
