Detergent filling machine from China

Liquid detergent foams, drips and attacks the wrong steel or seal, and it goes into large bottles with handles, so a filler that looks fine on water can overflow, leak at the nozzle or corrode on your product.

What you are actually comparing.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Dosing principle

Piston for thick dishwashing liquid, flowmeter for thin liquids, weighing for large bottles and drums. Ask which is quoted.

Foam control

Nozzles that dive to the bottom and rise as they fill, with a slower last phase, keep foam out of the neck.

Drips and nozzle shut-off

Detergent strings onto handles and threads and spoils labels. Ask for a positive shut-off nozzle and a drip tray.

Chemical resistance

Bleach and acid cleaners attack some steels and seals. Ask for the steel grade and seal materials of wetted parts.

Straight answers

Questions buyers ask about this machine.

Chinese vs European detergent filling machine: what should I compare?+

Foam control, drip shut-off and wetted materials on your product. A water demonstration proves none of them.

What goes on a detergent filling machine inspection checklist?+

Weighed fills on your largest bottle, a drip watch, a timed size change and the material certificates.

What CE documentation does a detergent filling machine need?+

A Declaration of Conformity and technical file. Regulation (EC) 648/2004 on detergents covers your product and its label, not the machine.

Who is the EU importer of a detergent filling machine?+

The business placing it on the EU market, usually you, named on the machine or its papers.
