Filling systems and filling machines for food in glass jars
Machines4FoodIndustry plans and integrates Filling systems and filling machines for the food industry – with a special focus on Food in a jar.
Our product range extends from individual filling, dosing and sealing machines to turnkey production lines for the processing and packaging of food.
The systems are individually tailored to product consistency, packaging, fill quantity, and desired production output. They are suitable for liquid, pasty, and chunky foods such as sauces, soups, delicatessen items, spreads, vegetables, and canned goods.
Filling machine or complete filling plant?
A filling machine handles the actual filling and dosing process. It is designed according to the consistency of the food, the packaging, and the required output.

Carousel filling machines for liquid and solid food products
Volumetric dispenser for liquids, brine and sauces
The gravimetric-volumetric dispenser fills jars, bottles, or cans to a defined fill level. The necessary clearance between the product and the packaging edge is maintained, ensuring a consistent fill level even with varying packaging sizes.
Depending on the product, the filling machine is designed for brine, vinegar, oil, or sauces. It is particularly suitable for pouring liquids over already filled food products, such as vegetables, fruit, meat, or fish products.
Typical applications include vegetables and fruit in brine, vinegar or oil, as well as ready meals, meat and fish products with sauces, marinades or infusions.
There are three types of containers for the filling machine:
- Version for brine, vinegar and thin liquid products
- Version for sauces
- Version for oil
This application is used Filling machine for liquidsespecially in:
- the
Fruit and vegetable processing when filling fruit from jars with sugar water, as well as filling vegetables with various liquids such as brine, vinegar and oil.
- the
meat industry when pouring sauces over ready-made meals, meat and sausage
- the
fish industry for filling fish cans with oil or salt water

Carousel bottling plant
Advantages of volumetric dosers
- Staff reduction to just 2 people
- High filling capacity – depending on product, packaging format and machine design
- Automatic operation – The volumetric dispenser stops when no more glasses are present and switches on automatically when they are added.
- Versatile from 0.2 to 0.9 I
- Integrable into the existing transport system, quick to assemble
- It can be quickly converted to other packaging, e.g. cans.
- Improved hygiene; the jars are clean after the filling process / cleaner autoclaves and pasteurization plants
- energy-saving /0.18kW/
- Version with a conveyor belt possible
- Made from acid-resistant steel
Dosing systems for chunky foods and bulk goods
For chunky, moist, or dry foods, we offer product-specific dosing systems and carousel filling machines. These are suitable for mushrooms, peas, beans, corn, olives, fruit, diced vegetables, pieces of meat, nuts, and spices, among other things.
Depending on product characteristics and the desired dosage, different systems are used for unit loads, moist bulk goods, or dry products. The machines enable gentle product dosing and can be integrated into existing or new filling lines.
Piston filling machines for pasty and viscous foods
Piston filling machines are suitable for the precise dosing of liquid, viscous, pasty, and textured foods. These include, for example, sauces, soups, pesto, mustard, mayonnaise, spreads, jams, and products with chunky ingredients.
The product is drawn from a hopper or product tank and metered into the packaging via individually configured filling valves. Depending on the required production output, versions with one or more filling points are available. The piston fillers can be used as standalone dosing stations or integrated into an automated filling line.
Piston dispenser for pasty foods
Single-cylinder piston fillers achieve a throughput of up to 1,200 packages per hour, depending on the product and fill volume. For higher production rates, inline fillers with multiple filling stations are available. A model with six filling stations can process up to 6,000 packages per hour.
The piston dispensers are suitable for sauces, soups, pâtés, mustard, ketchup, horseradish, pesto, dressings, jam, honey, yogurt and quark, among other things.
Filling valves, product tanks, and agitators are individually tailored to the product and the intended application. The actual achievable performance depends, among other things, on product consistency, fill quantity, and packaging format.
Piston filling machine for Bolognese sauce and convenience food
This pneumatic piston filling machine is used for filling Bolognese sauce and other products with chunky ingredients. The filling system is also suitable for soups, ready meals, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pesto, and similar food products.
Filling valves, product containers, and agitators are designed according to product and customer specifications. This allows the machine to be adapted to different consistencies, piece sizes, and fill quantities.
Dosing system for meat products
The dosing system is suitable for filling jars or cans with meat mixtures, aspic, and other pasty or textured meat products. Thanks to its movable design, the product is filled from the bottom of the container. This reduces air pockets and ensures even filling.
A cutting system cleanly separates the product after dosing and ensures consistent portioning. The product-contacting components are made of materials suitable for use in food processing.
Honey bottling plant with piston dispenser
The honey bottling plant uses a pneumatic piston dosing system with two cylinders. Specially designed shut-off valves enable precise and drip-free filling, ensuring the packaging remains as clean as possible.
The 2-cylinder system achieves a capacity of up to 2,300 packages per hour. Changeover to other glass or packaging formats can be carried out quickly.
Piston dispenser for buckets and catering containers
The volumetric piston dispenser is suitable for filling buckets and catering containers with a volume of 1 to 6 liters. For 5-liter packages, a throughput of up to 800 packages per hour can be achieved.
The filling system is suitable for soups, sauces, and other convenience products for the catering and institutional food service sectors. The design is adapted to the product consistency, fill volume, and packaging format.
Filling machines for low-viscosity foods
Our filling machines for low-viscosity food products are suitable for products such as brine, vinegar, oil, juice, syrup, broths, and liquid condiments. Depending on the product, fill quantity, and required accuracy, different dosing methods are used, such as time-controlled or flow-controlled systems.
The machines are available as semi-automatic dosing stations or as fully automatic filling machines with multiple filling points. They can be used individually or integrated into an existing filling line via conveyor technology.
Mixers and product tanks for continuous filling processes
Piston fillers for pasty, liquid, or chunky food products can be fed directly from a mixer or product tank. Pumps and automatic level control ensure a continuous product flow and reduce manual refilling.
Further information on available tank sizes, agitators and designs can be found in our mixer and product tank solutions.
