Precision filling
for optimized production
Filling is much more than a mechanical step: it is the final gateway where product quality, packaging efficiency and brand experience converge. Whether it's packaging creamy yoghurts, thick sauces or delicate cosmetic emulsions, the filling function must be efficient:
- Constant weight or volume of the product
- Intact textures and particle distribution
- Hygienic and contamination-free dosing
- Flexibility in different packaging formats
At PCM Systems, we design filling solutions with these goals in mind, to help manufacturers maintain batch integrity through to packaging.
Filling solutions whatever is the application
In contrast to standard filling lines, PCM's functional approach focuses on the following:
Preserving the structure of the product
It's essential to maintain the texture and visual appeal of your product, even if it contains sensitive pieces, fibers, or inclusions. The filling must be soft enough to prevent shearing while ensuring accurate dosing.
Enable laminated and multiphase applications
Many recipes call for multi-layered dosing or multi-phase filling (e.g., a base layer of yogurt, covered with a fruit compote). This requires perfect synchronization and repeatability, every time.
Hygiene and food safety at the forefront
Filling is a direct contact operation. Each PCM filling function is developed with cleanability, sterility and traceability in mind. CIP compatibility, FDA-grade materials, and tool-free disassembly are standard.
Manage all textures and flows
Whether it's liquid flavors or dense, stringy sauces, the filling function should adjust the dose, prevent foaming, not drip on the rim of jars or trays before heat sealing the lids, and control the speed of the fluid to prevent overflow. Good flow management guarantees both the quality of the dosage and respect for the product.

Filling is rarely self-contained - it has to be integrated into complex packaging ecosystems :
- Preformed or thermoformed trays and jars
- Vertical form-fill-seal bags
- Jars, flasks, tubes or buckets
PCM's filling function is modular by design, allowing for upstream integration with dosing/mixing and downstream integration with sealing, labeling, or inspection.
