1. Determine your product's viscosity
The first step in choosing a liquid filling machine is the flowability of the product you will fill. While volumetric filling is sufficient for low-viscosity products such as water, thick liquids like olive oil, detergent, and shampoo require flowmeter or weight-based systems. Knowing the viscosity helps you choose the right nozzle and pump type.
2. Choose automatic or semi-automatic based on your production volume
If you produce a few hundred bottles per day, compact and economical models such as the SORM Basic are enough. If you aim for thousands of units, high-capacity machines like the SORM Master or SORM Pro reduce labor costs and improve consistency.
3. Check hygiene and material quality
In the food and cosmetics industries, surfaces that contact the product must be AISI 304/316 stainless steel. The stainless body provides both hygiene and a long service life. Easy cleanability reduces production losses during product changeovers.
4. Ask about filling accuracy
Weight deviations are both a cost and a regulatory risk. A low tolerance such as 0.5% keeps the package content within standards. Request the accuracy rate from the manufacturer in writing.
5. Plan bottle type and line integration
Bottle height, neck diameter, and line speed affect nozzle and conveyor selection. Make sure the machine will be compatible with your existing line. The technical team recommends the best configuration for your product and bottle.
