Best use cases
Sauces, creams, gels, honey, oils, lotions, pastes and products that need controlled volumetric dosing. Projects where repeatability and clean cut-off matter more than the lowest possible entry price.
Piston filler price guide
Piston filling machine price depends on fill range, viscosity and output.
Piston fillers are specified by measured displacement. Cost usually changes with fill volume, product behaviour, number of filling heads, hopper/feed system and downstream integration.

Main piston filler cost factors
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.
- Cylinder size and required fill-volume range.
- Manual, semi-automatic, compact or inline automatic layout.
- Product viscosity, stringing, particulates and cleaning route.
- Number of nozzles, anti-drip valves, conveyors and capping/labelling integration.

FAQs
Common questions.
Larger cylinders, extra heads, servo controls, hygienic design, custom nozzles, feed pumps and full-line integration increase the project cost.
Often yes. Piston fillers are commonly considered for viscous liquids and pastes, subject to product testing.
Usually yes within a defined range, but accuracy and changeover depend on the cylinder size, settings and product behaviour.
