Vicanpack Inline Filler moves containers along a straight conveyor and fills liquids, powders, or granules at one or more filling stations. Different filling heads match different products: piston systems handle sauces, oils, creams, and other viscous liquids; auger fillers dose coffee powder, protein powder, and similar dry products; weighing or volumetric systems work with beans, seeds, and other free-flowing granules.

An inline filler system can run as a filling-only machine or add bottle washing, capping, sealing, labeling, coding, and heat shrinking. Vicanpack adjusts the filling heads, conveyor, container guides, and line layout for plastic bottles, glass jars, metal cans, and other containers.

Vicanpack inline fillers fill bottles, jars, cans and other containers while they travel along a straight conveyor. The layout makes it easy to place the filler between container feeding and downstream capping or labeling equipment without using a rotary filling table.

An inline filler system can handle liquids, powders or granules when fitted with the correct dosing unit. This makes the machine suitable for food, beverage, cosmetics, daily chemical and other production lines that use rigid containers.

The filling method changes with the product.

For water, juice, oil and other free-flowing liquids, the machine can use pumps or flow-based filling systems. Piston fillers suit sauce, honey, shampoo, cream and other thicker products.

Powders such as protein powder, coffee powder and seasoning usually use an auger filler. Granules such as beans, seeds, nuts and candy can use weighing or volumetric dosing systems.

Common applications include:

• Water, juice and edible oil
• Sauce, ketchup and honey
• Shampoo and liquid detergent
• Coffee and protein powder
• Spice and seasoning powder
• Beans, seeds and nuts
• Candy and other dry granules

The product determines the filling head, not the container alone.

An inline filling machine uses a straight product path. Containers enter from one side, stop or slow at the filling position, then continue toward the next machine.

This layout works well when a factory needs to:

• Add a filler to an existing conveyor
• Run several bottle or jar sizes
• Connect filling with capping and labeling
• Leave room for future line expansion
• Change products without replacing the complete line

Compared with a fixed rotary layout, an inline system often gives more flexibility when container sizes change frequently or production space requires a straight-line arrangement.

Container size affects how the machine positions each bottle under the filling nozzle.

Vicanpack can configure the line for plastic bottles, glass jars, metal cans and other rigid containers. Operators can adjust conveyor guides, filling height and container spacing within the machine's working range.

Tall or lightweight bottles may need side guides or holding devices. Wide-mouth jars can accept larger filling outlets, while narrow-neck bottles may need smaller nozzles and longer filling time.

If one line needs to run several containers, provide all sizes before machine selection.

The filler can work alone, but many projects continue with closing and labeling equipment.

A typical line may use:

Container Feeding → Inline Filling → Capping or Sealing → Labeling → Coding → Collection

Depending on the package, Vicanpack can add:

• Bottle unscrambler
• Cap or lid feeder
• Screw capping machine
• Can seamer
• Induction sealer
• Labeling machine
• Date coder
• Checkweigher
• Case packing equipment

The machines do not need the same nominal speed. The complete line needs enough capacity at each stage to prevent bottles from building up between machines.

Start with four details:

Product: Is it liquid, paste, powder or granule?

Filling amount: A 50 ml bottle and a 5 L container need different filling structures.

Container: Check the bottle dimensions, opening diameter and material.

Required output: Confirm the actual bottles per minute rather than choosing only by the maximum machine speed.

Vicanpack uses these details to choose the dosing system, number of filling heads and conveyor arrangement.

What is an inline filler?

An inline filler fills containers as they move through a straight conveyor line. It can use piston pumps, augers, weighing systems or other dosing units according to the product.

Can an inline filler handle different bottle sizes?

Yes, when the containers fall within the machine's adjustment range. Bottle width, height and neck opening determine how much adjustment or change tooling the machine needs.

Can one inline filler system handle liquids and powders?

The inline conveyor platform can support different filling technologies, but liquid and powder products normally require different dosing units. A piston filler cannot fill powder, and an auger filler cannot fill liquid.

Can Vicanpack connect the filler with capping and labeling machines?

Yes. Vicanpack can combine the inline filler with cap feeding, capping, sealing, labeling, coding and downstream packing equipment according to the container and production process.
