Tincture filling machine from China

Filling the bottle is easy; seating dropper, wiper and cap on your glass without leaks or cracked pipettes is where tincture lines stop, and a demo with water on a stock bottle never shows it.

What you are actually comparing.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Peristaltic or piston dosing

With peristaltic dosing only the tube touches the liquid, so changes are quick. A piston handles thicker oil but has seals to clean. Ask which one the accuracy claim used.

Number of heads

Output rises with heads, not belt speed. Two-head and eight-head versions can share one name. Ask the head count behind the bottles-per-minute figure.

Dropper and wiper insertion

Many offers fill and cap only. Ask how the machine places a glass pipette and rejects a crooked one.

Capping torque and change parts

Rubber-bulb caps deform under a fixed chuck. Ask for adjustable torque and count the guide, nozzle and chuck sets per bottle size.

Before you ask for a price.

Where the numbers come from.

We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.
