Automatic Liquid Filling Machines

Automatic Liquid Filling Machines You Can Rely On.

Increase production, reduce labour and improve consistency with an automatic filling system designed around your products, containers and production requirements.

Universal Filling Machine Company designs and manufactures automatic liquid filling machines and complete filling systems for applications ranging from individual automatic fillers to fully integrated filling, capping and production lines.

What can an automatic filling machine do?

Increase production, reduce labour and improve consistency.

An automatic filling machine can take over the repetitive filling process, allowing you to increase production while reducing manual handling and maintaining consistent, accurate fills.

The right filling solution depends on your product, containers, required production rate and the way your production process is organised.

Increase Production

Increase filling speeds and throughput to help remove production bottlenecks and support higher output.

Reduce Labour

Reduce repetitive manual filling and handling, allowing operators to concentrate on other areas of production.

Improve Consistency

Deliver accurate, repeatable fills with controlled filling cycles and consistent product handling.

Build for Future Growth

Automatic filling equipment can be configured around your current requirements while allowing capacity and automation to develop as production increases.

How is an automatic filling machine configured?

Filling Technology

Different liquids require different filling methods. Volumetric piston filling provides highly accurate, repeatable fills, while vacuum-level filling can be ideal where consistent fill levels and presentation are important.

Icon representing flammable and volatile liquids

Fill Volumes

Machines can be configured for a wide range of fill volumes, from small-volume products through to larger industrial containers. The required fill volume is an important factor when selecting the most suitable machine and filling system.

“Universal are a great company to work with and totally trust worthy on giving sound advice. The Posifill machine we bought worked straight out of the box and the operators were very pleased with its operation. This enabled a solution to a problematic small 40ml dispensing product and increased safety, accuracy and speed of production.”

Stephen Guest – Technical Manager, Jotun Paints

“We’ve had a brilliant experience with Universal and all the staff we have dealt with. Communication is quick and effective. Questions are answered quickly and clearly.

We had some minor teething troubles with our filling machine, due to the unique nature of our product, but we had an immediate response to our request for help and it was sorted within minutes. When we needed a replacement part (because we broke the original) we had it the next day.

I really can’t recommend them highly enough.”

Tracy Eden – Creative Director, Angelic Celestial Colours Ltd.

“Universal are our preferred supplier of liquid filling equipment, and we have a relationship that has lasted 15-plus years, with Vitax purchasing 8 different fillers and 1 capper as we expand and develop our capacity. A great Company to deal with.”

Dale Eames – Production Manager, Vitax Ltd.

“A very helpful team that responded to our enquires in a timely manner with good advice, they also were able to give us a demonstration at our facility so we could fully assess the equipment we were looking to purchase.

We look forward to working with Universal on future projects.”

Jeff King – Laboratory Support Engineer, Stanhope-Seta (UK)

“We have purchased numerous machines from Universal over the last 40 plus years & keep returning to them. Not the cheapest, but certainly excellent quality & service. All manufactured in UK, as well.”

Peter Standen – Technical Director, Morgans Pomade Co. Ltd.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an automatic liquid filling machine different from a semi-automatic one?

Automatic liquid filling machines integrate conveyors, multiple fill heads, sensors, and control systems to fill containers without constant operator input. This enables higher production speeds, consistent accuracy, and reduced labor costs compared to semi-automatic machines.
Also see How Does An Automatic Filling Machine Work?

What production speeds can I expect from automatic filling machines?

Automatic machines like the Posimatic EV1000, EV2500, and Voluvac can fill anywhere from 40 to 120 bottles per minute depending on the model, number of heads, fill volume, and liquid type. Speeds are adjustable to suit different container sizes and viscosities.

Can automatic filling machines handle different bottle sizes and shapes?

Yes. Automatic systems can be configured with adjustable fill heads, nozzles, and conveyors to handle a wide variety of container sizes, from small vials to large 5-litre bottles. Some models even support changeovers without tools for maximum flexibility.

Are automatic liquid filling machines suitable for viscous or foamy liquids?

Absolutely. Volumetric systems can fill thin liquids, viscous sauces, creams, and even foaming products. Choosing the correct filling method ensures consistent fills and minimal waste.

How easy is it to clean and maintain automatic filling machines?

Automatic machines are designed with hygiene and efficiency in mind. Stainless steel contact parts, quick-release nozzles, and CIP (clean-in-place) options make cleaning fast and simple. Regular maintenance ensures long-term accuracy and reliability.

Can automatic liquid filling machines be integrated into a complete production line?

Yes. Automatic fillers can be combined with cappers, labelers, checkweighers, and induction sealers to create a fully automated bottling line. Integration reduces manual handling, increases throughput, and ensures consistent product quality.

Are automatic filling machines suitable for hazardous or corrosive liquids?

Yes. With appropriate materials (e.g., stainless steel, chemical-resistant seals) and safety features, automatic machines can safely handle aggressive liquids such as solvents, acids, or chemicals. Universal can advise on the right configuration for your product.

How do I select the right automatic filling machine for my production needs?

Consider your target fill volume, bottle size, liquid type, and production speed. For high-speed operations with multiple product lines, models like the Posimatic EV5000 or Voluvac may be ideal. Universal can provide expert guidance, technical data, and trial fills to ensure the chosen machine meets your requirements.
