Machine routes
Piston filling is often considered for viscous creams and gels. Single-head or multi-head formats depend on output target. Line integration can include lidding, labelling and coding.
Cream jar filling
Cream filling machines for jars, tubs and containers.
Creams and gels need clean filling, repeatable volume and a nozzle route that avoids stringing, air pockets and poor presentation.

Key checks
These are the main points to check before asking for a quote. They help avoid a filler that looks suitable on a catalogue page but fails in real production.
- Cream viscosity and whether product changes with temperature.
- Jar or tub opening size and target fill level.
- Air pockets, stringing and nozzle drip behaviour.
- Cleaning route and product-contact material expectations.
