Overflow Filling Machines

How Overflow Filling Works

Overflow filling machines fill bottles and containers to the same level every time — making them ideal for products in clear containers where consistent fill appearance matters. This is sometimes called a cosmetic fill. Overflow fillers work great for thin products like cleaners, degreasers, fertilizers, and most thin liquids.

The overflow filling machine fills to a level instead of by volume, so the levels in bottles you can see through look the same. A variable speed pump controls how the product flows into the bottles, keeping foam to a minimum and giving the operator more control over how the product behaves during the fill.

Overflow fill heads allow excess product to flow back into the machine tank, maintaining a consistent fill level across all bottles. A float system keeps the tank at a consistent level throughout the fill.

Semi-Automatic Overflow Filling Machines

Semi-automatic overflow filling machines are a good alternative to a fully automatic overflow filling system because of the lower price. The semi-automatic filler works the same way as an automatic filler, but the operator moves the bottles in and out of the fill area.

The air operated machines are less expensive than the timer-controlled filling machines and have been used in hazardous locations. Using air-only operation saves money compared to expensive hazardous location electronics.
