Tub filling specification details
Tub filling often appears simple because the pack opening is wide. The main challenges are usually dust, fill height, settlement, rim cleanliness and how the tub is closed after filling.
If the product is low-density, the filled volume may be large. If it is dusty, the machine may need nozzles, covers or extraction to keep the rim and closure area clean.
| Specification detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Tub dimensions | Diameter, height and stability affect conveyor and filling setup. |
| Fill volume | Low-density powders can fill high in the tub even at modest weights. |
| Closure route | Lids, caps and seals require clean rims and consistent spacing. |
| Output target | Determines whether tabletop, single-head or multi-head filling should be reviewed. |
