Sanitary Gravity Filler with Pucker & Depucker

There are a variety of different machines that a business can use to fill containers with a liquid product. If that product is thin and needs to be filled into bottles—pucker and depucker equipment can be used to ensure that the bottles don’t tip, rattle against one another, or spill the product. Pucks are placed at even intervals to ensure the bottles are evenly spaced—they can be spaced out to coincide with the distance between the gravity filler’s fill heads—ensuring your packaging line runs at maximum efficiency.

Gravity Fillers: Best for Thin Liquids

Different liquid filling machines are best for different viscosities. Gravity fillers, for instance, are ideal for thin liquids or foamy liquids. Because pressure isn’t needed to fill these liquids into containers, as it is with thick liquids, only gravity is required for the successful bottling of thin products. If your product is thicker or denser, you may want to consider a gravity/pressure filler, which uses pressure as well as gravity to ensure the same amount of product is filled into each bottle. In this video, you can see that the liquid being filled is very lightweight. The puck/depuck accessories ensure that the liquid doesn’t spill or splash, making this setup an ideal one overall.

Other Packaging Equipment from E-PAK Machinery

When you’re in the business of filling liquids into bottles or containers, you need a variety of machines to complete a packaging line. Bottle cleaners are important to ensure contaminants, dust and debris are removed from the containers prior to being filled, and conveyors are used to move the containers from one machine to the next. After the containers are filled with a liquid filling machine, they move onto capping machines (which are often accompanied by cap sorters and cap elevators), as well as labelers. From start to finish, E-PAK offers every machine you need to complete your liquid packaging line.
