Why Is a Piston Filling System Superior for Viscous Products?
Question: We fill various products including toothpaste, adhesives, and sealants with different viscosities. Some of our materials are thick pastes, while others are thinner liquids. How does the SGF-40RF-Y's piston filling system handle this range, and what makes it more accurate than other filling methods?
Answer:
The SGF-40RF-Y employs a piston filling system—a positive-displacement technology that delivers exceptional accuracy and stability regardless of material viscosity . Unlike time-based or flow-meter systems that are affected by pressure and temperature changes, piston filling physically measures each dose.
The piston filling principle offers several advantages over other methods. For time-based filling, pressure drops as the hopper empties, causing inconsistent fills. Flow-meter systems can be thrown off by temperature-induced viscosity changes. Piston filling avoids these issues by mechanically measuring each dose .
The SGF-40RF-Y's filling capacity is available in 50ml, 100ml, 200ml, and 250ml options, customizable to customer demand . This range covers most standard tube sizes. The filling volume can be easily adjusted, making this automatic tube filling machine suitable for manufacturers with diverse product lines.
