Match the package before setting the fill duty
The bag fitment and its connection to the head determine the product interface. Bag volume, support drum or box, package preparation and changeover sequence must be compatible with that connection.
The family includes 1–220 L formats and options for larger packages. That range spans selected configurations; it does not make every small bag and drum format interchangeable on the pictured arrangement. Specify the actual bag, fitment and support format.
Include package changes in output calculations
Product viscosity and temperature affect delivery to the head and the end of each fill. Agree whether the fill is controlled and checked by mass or another defined measure, and set the accuracy assessment for the intended package and product condition.
Two filling positions support the handling sequence, but do not by themselves establish a packing rate. Account for connecting and disconnecting bags, moving drums and the upstream response during interruptions.
Package and process interfaces
| Interface | Specify | Check during acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| Bag and fitment | Format and connection requirements | Correct connection through the full change cycle |
| Fill quantity | Measurement basis and allowed variation | Actual product, package and operating condition |
| Upstream supply | Flow, temperature and hygienic boundary | Normal running, stop and restart |
| Drum handling | Roller height, access and removal route | Filled-package handling without obstructing service |
Make filling part of the integrated process
The filler receives product from the established thermal process; it does not preserve untreated paste simply by putting it into a bag. Line preparation, transfer piping, head condition and the package all belong to the selected operating sequence.
Cleaning and any sterilization sequence must be appropriate to the chosen system. Document the return-to-production criteria and provide access around both head positions, controls and product connections.

Questions about this equipment and process
Can a reported bag-size range define fill speed?
No. Fill speed depends on the selected head and metering arrangement, the product condition and all package-handling time in the cycle.
Is an aseptic bag filler the retail ketchup filler?
It is a bulk-package system. Retail cans, bottles or sachets require their own container handling, closure and process specification.
