Five trends in liquid filling equipment

Speed and precision are the hallmarks of liquid filling systems.

As the economy improves, packagers are under the gun, using all their planning skills to take care of business while utilizing the equipment already on the floor, and perhaps contemplating new technology. Here’s what they are discovering is available in liquid filling:

1. Shorter lead times: Short build times are the norm as the economy recovers, as most packagers are dealing with multiple product lines, projects, and deadlines. They are searching for suppliers that can deliver a full packaging line with the shortest build time. Budget is still a concern, but the growing demands, in particular, of the food and beverage business dictate a fully integrated solution on a tight deadline.

2. Flexibility and adaptability: Packagers continue to look for flexibility in machinery so they can package products with a wide range of containers, caps, labels, sleeves, and products. They want machines that can handle different size/shape containers as a standard feature, without additional add-ons or a custom solution.
