Semi-Automatic Filling Machines – Liquid Filling Equipment & Bottle Fillers
Universal’s semi-automatic range uses two proven technologies: volumetric piston fillers deliver precise fills by volume, perfect where accuracy matters, while vacuum level fillers top every rigid bottle to the same height, giving a clean, professional finish. Vacuum filling works best with thinner liquids and is particularly effective for retail displays where even fill levels enhance shelf appeal.
Our machines handle a wide variety of liquids, from lotions, creams, oils, and detergents to wines, spirits, perfumes, and solvents, as well as sauces and pastes (with or without particulates). Most models feature food-grade 316 stainless steel contact parts, with ATEX-certified options for flammable or hazardous liquids. The PB5000 comes with glass and PVC contact parts by default, making it ideal for corrosive liquids such as acids and alkalis.
Selecting the right filler depends on your liquid, container, fill volume, production speed, and hygiene requirements. Volumetric piston fillers – including Posifill EF/EF2500, Posifill DP (for thicker or chunky products), Posifill V-Twin/Four (2–4 heads), and PB5000/P5000 for larger volumes – ensure precise dosing. Vacuum level fillers such as Vacufill (1–2 heads) provide consistent fill heights in rigid bottles.
Every Universal semi-automatic liquid filling machine is designed and built in the UK and can grow with your business. You can add extra filling heads, a Wander Nozzle for pallet or IBC filling, or integrate capping, labelling, and sealing as production expands. Share your product, container sizes, and target rates, and we’ll recommend the right machine in minutes.
