Example build · Inline filler
A line short enough to fit the room you have.
Conveyor-integrated filling for fixed or adjustable container formats, scaled to a small run instead of scaled down from a plant machine.
Specifications
- Heads
- 2 to 8
- Fill range
- 30 ml - 2 L
- Accuracy
- Plus or minus 1% of target fill weight, and never more than plus or minus 15 g on any single fill. Under 60 ml, fill accuracy depends on fill speed and product viscosity; the achievable figure is confirmed against your actual product during the sample fitting.
- Throughput
- 800 - 6,000 bottles per hour
- Power
- 120 V standard wall outlet
- Lead time
- 4 weeks
- Price range
- $6,450 - $14,950
Why 60 ml is the line
Below roughly 60 ml the fill is short enough that pump start-and-stop behaviour and the way your product flows start to dominate the result. For reference, the US net-content rules in NIST Handbook 133 allow an individual 60 ml package to vary by 3.8 ml, about 6%, and a 30 ml package by that same 3.8 ml, about 13%. The EU average-quantity system allows 9% below 50 ml. A 1% target is an order of magnitude tighter than either, which is why we confirm it on your product rather than promise it on a page.
Ranges reflect builds completed to date. Your quote comes after we have had your container on the bench.
The equipment you can buy off the shelf tends to come in two sizes: a hand-fed benchtop unit, or a machine designed for a plant that runs a shift a day. Neither fits a brand doing a few thousand units at a time, so people end up either hand-filling far too long or buying capacity they will never use.
An inline build closes that gap. Containers index along a short conveyor, get filled, and come off the end ready to cap — one operator, a bench or a corner of a room, and a throughput that matches your order book rather than someone else's.
Format handling is decided with you. If you run one container forever, the tooling is fixed and simple. If you run several sizes, the change-over is designed in from the start so it's a known adjustment instead of an afternoon of shimming things. Inline sensing — temperature, pH, TDS, particle count, viscosity — and inline metal detection can be built into the same line where the product calls for it.
It ships crated, runs on a standard 120-volt outlet, and gets commissioned on a video call. Pair it with a capper and it becomes a fill-and-cap line.
