And what’s the best setup necessary to successfully execute this type of production – let’s take a closer look.Ĭan a metering system impact your filling?Īs you choose which handheld filler makes the most sense for you, does the metering system make a difference when dispensing semi-viscous to viscous products? Warren notes, “The short answer is yes!” There are a variety of metering systems, peristaltic, lobe, gear, and piston pumps to name a few.
This is ideal as most companies experience some limitations when it comes to cleanroom or laboratory floorspace.Īnd depending on your application, you may require a machine that either has a single, dual, or multi-nozzle configuration with an equal number of pumps. But in general, handheld fillers range in size and come with a very small footprint as most models will easily fit on to your table during production.
