Flow Meter Fillers

Flow meter fillers measure product as it passes through a magnetic or Coriolis mass flow meter and close the valve at the target quantity. They deliver very repeatable fills, adapt quickly to new fill sizes, and avoid moving parts in the product path, which suits chemicals, lubricants and hygienic applications.

How it works

Flow meter fillers measure the volume of liquid passing through a meter in real time and stop dispensing once the target volume is reached. This method does not rely on fixed mechanical displacement, making it adaptable to varying fill sizes without major hardware changes. It is often paired with a pump to move product through the metering assembly.

Common applications

• Filling variable batch sizes without tooling changes
• Packaging chemical and industrial liquids
• High-accuracy filling of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical liquids
• Filling products across a wide range of container volumes

Typical products and containers

Advantages

• Flexible fill volume changes generally require only a setpoint adjustment
• Can integrate with data logging for traceability
• Suited to a wide range of container sizes on the same line
• Reduces mechanical wear associated with piston-based systems

Buying considerations

• Confirm the flow meter technology is compatible with your product's conductivity or properties.
• Consider calibration and verification procedures needed to maintain accuracy.
• Evaluate whether entrained air or foam could affect meter readings.
• Check integration requirements with existing control systems.
• Assess required accuracy tolerance against the meter's typical performance range.
