What testing shows
Drip, foam, stringing, splash, product feed and nozzle suitability.
Product testing
Filling machine product testing before specification and quotation.
Product testing or a structured product review helps avoid the wrong filler. It checks whether the product flows, foams, drips, strings, blocks nozzles or changes viscosity during production.

Specification route
Use testing to reduce selection risk.
The safest route is to check the product, fill volume and container before committing to a dosing principle or line layout.
- Send representative product samples where testing is practical.
- Use real containers, caps and labels where possible.
- Check fill accuracy at realistic speed, not just slow demonstration speed.
- Record cleaning and changeover expectations before final specification.
Buyer checks
Practical checks before quotation.
Use these points to compare realistic filler routes before asking for a formal quote.
What testing cannot do
It does not replace final acceptance testing on the finished machine, but it helps choose the correct route.
Useful evidence
Videos, photos and production notes can help the first shortlist before samples are sent.

FAQs
Common questions.
It is especially useful for viscous, foaming, sticky, particulate or unusual products. Straightforward liquids may only need a detailed specification review.
A representative product sample plus the intended bottle, jar, tub, cap or closure gives the most useful result.
It can guide the route, but final speed depends on the finished machine, line layout and acceptance testing.
The findings are used to shortlist the dosing route, nozzle format, handling system and quotation details.
