Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose Universal Filling Machine Company?
What’s the difference between semi-automatic and automatic filling machines?
Semi-automatic filling machines require manual input from an operator to load containers and start each fill cycle. They are ideal for lower-volume production, small batches, or operations that require flexibility and frequent product changeovers.
Automatic filling machines are designed for higher-volume production lines. They include automated bottle handling (such as conveyors, indexing, and sensors) and can be integrated with capping, labelling, and other end-of-line equipment. Automatic machines deliver faster speeds, consistent fills, and minimal operator intervention.
Can one machine fill multiple container sizes?
Yes — many of our liquid filling machines are designed to handle a wide range of container sizes and shapes, from small bottles to large jerry cans or tubs.
Adjustable settings, interchangeable parts, and optional accessories such as the Wander Nozzle allow you to switch between containers quickly and easily. This flexibility makes our machines ideal for businesses filling multiple SKUs or running short production batches.
What types of liquids or products can be filled?
Our machines are suitable for filling a wide variety of liquid products, including:
Water-thin liquids (e.g. alcohol, cleaning fluids, solvents)
Medium viscosity products (e.g. oils, lotions, shampoos)
Thick or semi-viscous products (e.g. sauces, gels, adhesives)
Hazardous or corrosive chemicals (e.g. bleach, acids, agrochemicals)
We offer solutions for foaming, flammable, and abrasive liquids, and can advise on the most appropriate machine for your product’s viscosity, flow characteristics, and container type.
What maintenance is required?
Our filling machines are built for durability and easy maintenance. Routine tasks include:
Regular cleaning of product contact parts
Checking seals, gaskets, and valves for wear
We offer full servicing, technical support, and spare parts supply to keep your machine running reliably for decades — many of our customers are still using machines built over 30 years ago.
Do you offer ATEX versions?
Yes — we manufacture ATEX-compliant filling machines for use in hazardous or potentially explosive environments.
We can supply both semi-automatic and automatic ATEX-rated systems, and will guide you through the specification process to ensure full compliance with relevant regulations.
