What We Package
Industrial chemical products span a wide viscosity and packaging-format range, from thin solvents to heavy pastes shipped in drums.
Engineering Considerations
Chemical products place demands on filling equipment that consumer goods rarely do — corrosion resistance, explosion safety, and high-value fill accuracy chief among them.
Product-contact parts must be selected against the specific chemical's compatibility profile — stainless grade alone doesn't guarantee resistance.
Solvent-based and flammable products may require explosion-proof (ATEX-rated) electrical components on the filling line.
High-value chemicals (specialty adhesives, coatings) justify weight-based filling to eliminate density-variation losses over volumetric methods.
Heavy pastes and high-viscosity adhesives require piston filling with heated supply tanks or pump-assist for reliable delivery.
Container formats often scale from small bottles to large drums within one product family — plan conveying and capping tooling accordingly.
Machinery We Recommend
Bottle lines with heavy-duty filling heads cover most industrial liquid formats, supported by peripheral handling equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can your filling machines handle flammable or solvent-based products?
Yes, with the appropriate electrical and mechanical specification — this typically means ATEX-rated components in the fill zone and material compatibility confirmed against your specific product's safety data sheet. Share your product classification early so this is built into the machine specification, not retrofitted later.
-
Is weight-based filling worth the extra cost for chemical products?
For high-value chemicals, usually yes. Weight-based filling eliminates the effect of density variation between batches, which volumetric filling cannot compensate for — the accuracy gain often pays for the equipment premium through reduced product giveaway alone.
