Smooth jams
Often more straightforward to assess for positive displacement filling.
Jam filling
Jam filling machines for jars, containers and viscous food products.
Jam filling needs the machine to cope with viscosity, stickiness and possible fruit pieces. Lancing UK helps compare volumetric piston routes around product texture and jar format.
Specification route
Jam should be assessed with the real product texture.
Fruit pieces, temperature, viscosity and nozzle cut-off all affect whether a particular filling route is suitable. The jar opening and cleaning method should also be reviewed before machine specification.
- Piston and servo piston filling are often compared for viscous food products.
- Fruit particles need to be checked against nozzle and valve design.
- Jar indexing and fill presentation matter for repeatable production.
- Can integrate with capping, labelling and coding.

What to compare
Machine choices for this filling project.
Compare the route against product behaviour, fill range, container format, throughput and any downstream capping or labelling stages.
Jams with pieces
Particle size and distribution must be reviewed before specifying the filler.
Jar line automation
Can combine filling with lid/cap handling, labelling and date coding.
Quote preparation
Details that help Lancing UK shortlist the right filler.
For a faster specification, include the product sample or description, fill volume range, container dimensions, cap or lid type, target output and available production space.
Product
Viscosity, flow, temperature, foam, particles and cleaning expectations.
Container
Bottle, jar, tub or pouch details including neck opening and stability.
Output
Target packs per minute or per hour and whether manual loading is acceptable.
Line stages
Capping, labelling, coding, sealing, inspection and end-of-line handling.
