What Exactly Is a Paste Liquid Filling Machine?

A paste liquid filling machine is industrial equipment designed specifically for filling containers with viscous or semi-viscous products—those that don’t flow like water or thin liquids, but also aren’t quite solid. According to one guide:

“A paste filling machine is a machine used to fill paste. Paste is a generic term for the majority of materials.”

In more familiar terms, think about a product like a thick cream, a body lotion, toothpaste-type substance, honey with particulates, or an industrial sealant. These require machines that differ in design from ordinary low-viscosity liquid filling machines (sometimes referred to as “liquid filling machines”) because the flow characteristics differ significantly.

For example, another article points out that a filling machine must be chosen to match the viscosity, container type, container size, and the product’s flow behaviour.
In short: A paste liquid filling machine is not optional if your product is thick or has particulates—it’s essential.

Why Choose a Paste Liquid Filling Machine (And Why from SINBON?)

The Importance of Matching Product to Machine

Viscous products behave differently in filling systems. As one industry write-up explains:

“For paste filling applications, liquid filling machinery that can handle highly viscous substances is required.”

If you try to use a standard liquid filler (designed for water-thin or moderately viscous products) for a thick paste, you risk problems such as:

• inconsistent fill volumes

• air bubbles or voids in the container

• dripping or overflow from nozzles

• downtime due to clogging or maintenance

SINBON’s paste liquid filling machines are engineered to address exactly those challenges. With appropriate design for viscous flow, they offer accurate dosing, hygienic contact surfaces, and automation levels that fit your production scale.

Cost, Efficiency, and Hygiene Gains

Adopting a proper paste liquid filling machine brings multiple benefits:

• Improved accuracy and consistency: Ensuring each container has the correct volume of product, which is critical for quality, regulatory compliance and customer satisfaction. One guide cites accuracy for the best equipment of ±0.25%.

• Labour savings and throughput boost: Automated or semi-automated paste fillers reduce the reliance on manual dosing and operators, speeding up production and reducing human error.

• Hygiene and safety compliance: In filling creams, gels, pharmaceuticals or food items, it’s imperative to use stainless steel contact parts, easy-cleaning surfaces, conforming to GMP / food-grade requirements. For example:

“Most machines use stainless steel to manufacture parts that come in contact with the product … This protects food, cosmetics and medicines from bacteria”

SINBON machines are built with these standards in mind—including CIP possibilities, minimal dead-spaces, and materials chosen for viscous product handling.

Why SINBON?

Choosing the right manufacturer matters. SINBON stands out by offering:

• Tailored solutions for viscous product filling (i.e., paste liquid filling machines)

• Wide range of automation: from semi-automatic to fully automatic lines

• High standards of hygiene, material choice, maintenance support

• Expertise in helping clients select machine type, container compatibility, and integration with filling lines

In short, if you’re looking to upgrade or build from scratch a production line for thick pastes or liquids, SINBON’s offering is compelling.

Types of Paste Liquid Filling Machines: Matching Your Production Scale

Semi-Automatic vs. Fully Automatic

There are essentially two major categories of paste liquid filling machines:

Semi-Automatic Machines
These are ideal for small-to-medium production volumes, perhaps for niche runs, product testing or multiple SKUs with frequent changeovers. The operator may load containers manually, assist in positioning, then the machine performs the filling stroke.
As one guide states:

“Semi-automatic paste filler … good choice for small and medium-sized enterprises.”

Fully Automatic Machines / Paste Filling Line
For higher volume production where speed, minimal labour and consistency matter, a fully automatic paste liquid filling machine (or an entire filling line) is the way to go. The machine loads containers, fills them, may cap them, label them—all with minimal human intervention.

Technology Options Inside the Machine

When specifying a paste liquid filling machine, you’ll encounter key technology choices:

• Piston fillers: These pull product into a cylinder, then push it into containers. Recommended for thick pastes or products with particulates.

• Pump fillers: Using positive displacement pumps (like lobe pumps or peristaltic pumps) to move viscous product into containers. Good for moderate to high viscosity, especially for large containers or continuous flow.

• Tube fillers / auger-based systems: For products packaged in tubes (e.g., ointments, creams), filling and sealing machines may be used as part of the paste liquid filling line.

SINBON offers paste liquid filling machine variants incorporating one or more of these technologies, depending on your product, container type and throughput requirements.

Container Types & Compatibility

Your choice of paste liquid filling machine also depends on container types: bottles, jars, tubes, sachets or cans. One selection guide outlines:

“A wide variety of paste products will have a wide variety of paste packaging containers … the common packaging paste containers are … bottles, jars, tubes, cans”

When working with SINBON, you can match the machine to your container format—for example:

• Small jars for cosmetics

• Tubes for ointments

• Bottles for sauces or honey

• Large cans or buckets for industrial greases/sealants

Key Features to Assess in a Paste Liquid Filling Machine

When evaluating machines from SINBON (or any supplier) for your paste liquid filling needs, make sure you compare these essential features:

1. Filling Accuracy & Repeatability

You want each container to be filled to the correct volume, again and again. The better machines deliver accuracies as tight as ±0.25%.
SINBON’s paste liquid filling machines incorporate volumetric measurement, servo drives or piston metering to ensure consistent fill.

2. Speed / Throughput

Throughput depends on your production goals (units per hour). For paste liquids, the filling speed can be slower than low-viscosity liquids because of slower flow and increased resistance. One guide notes:

“Some machines fill containers very slowly, while others are much faster … a machine that fills 60 pieces per minute is suitable for small batch production … high‐capacity machines fill 5,000 to 20,000 units per hour” 

SINBON offers configurations tailored to your required production rate—from manual/semi-auto machines for small batches up to high-speed automatic lines for thousands of units per hour.

3. Material & Hygienic Design

Since you are dealing with pastes, creams, lotions or even adhesives, you must consider:

• Contact parts made of stainless steel (food grade if applicable)

• No dead spaces, easy disassembly/cleaning

• CIP (clean-in-place) or quick clean features

• Compliance with GMP, FDA, or relevant hygienic standards if you are in food/pharma sectors

SINBON’s past liquid filling machines meet these design criteria.

4. Versatility & Changeover Capability

Often products change, containers change, or you may want flexibility in fill volume. Make sure your machine offers:

• Adjustable fill volume

• Interchangeable nozzles / heads for various sizes

• Easy cleaning between runs

• Multi-head options (for increased speed)

As one guide says:

“Flexible nozzles – Allows the machine to handle jars, tubes, or bottles without long changeover times.” 

SINBON machines support flexible configurations so you aren’t locked into one product/container format.

5. Automation & Integration

If you are building or expanding a production line, consider the level of automation:

• Semi-automatic vs fully automatic

• Multi-head filling, in-line conveyors, integration with cappers, labelers

• PLC/HMI control for ease of use, recipe memory, parameter setting
  According to resources:

“The automatic paste filling machine can do almost everything for you… All you have to do is import the filling product into the hopper and set the controls.” 

SINBON can integrate your paste liquid filling machine into a larger filling/capping/labeling line, tailored to your production flow.
