It sounds simple... but can you clearly describe whether your product flows like water or has the viscosity of a cream?
Viscosity is key. It measures a liquid's internal resistance to flow. Products like shampoo or honey resist flow more than water or alcohol. Therefore, the filling machine you choose must perfectly match your product's viscosity characteristics to ensure filling accuracy and stability. High-viscosity products typically require screw pumps, while low-viscosity products are suitable for gravity or peristaltic pumps.
Additionally, does your product contain particles (like scrubs)? Is it prone to foaming or corrosive? All these details will help us recommend the most suitable pump body and material (such as 316L stainless steel) solution.

When addressing filling applications, your choice of containers is as critical as the product itself.
Container materials (plastic, glass, metal), shapes (round, square, irregular), and neck sizes vary greatly. These factors directly influence filling head selection, gripping methods, and downstream capping/labeling processes. Whether you require screw caps, press-on caps, spray nozzles, or tube sealing, all these options are feasible. However, advance planning and thorough communication with your equipment supplier are essential to ensure seamless integration across the entire line.
SICHI possesses extensive experience handling diverse containers and is pleased to provide professional adaptation recommendations tailored to your specific containers.

Space is a valuable resource. Understanding the size and layout of your planned equipment location (e.g., workshop floor plan) is critical for equipment selection.
Is it a space-constrained lab or workshop, or a spacious industrial facility? This determines whether we recommend compact benchtop models or can design a linear or L-shaped integrated line layout. SICHI equipment features modular design for flexible adaptation to your space.

Can standard machines meet your needs? Or do you have specific requirements, such as: special hygiene standards (e.g., GMP), unique functions (e.g., nitrogen-flushed preservation), or handling exceptionally specialized containers and products?
Customization means the equipment is designed and manufactured entirely to your unique specifications. While this may involve higher costs and longer lead times, it delivers the most optimized production solution. Xicheng offers both proven standard machines and flexible customization services, collaborating closely with you to ensure the final solution is practical and feasible.
