FF4 Full Pneumatic Vertical Liquid and Paste Filling Machine

FF4 full pneumatic vertical liquid and paste filling machine

Overview

The FF4 full pneumatic vertical liquid and paste filling machine is a pneumatic piston-type semi-automatic filler produced by Wenzhou T&D Packing Machinery Factory, covering filling volumes from 5–1000 mL. The machine body uses 201/304 stainless steel, with product-contact parts available in 304 or 316 stainless steel. Driven entirely by compressed air and requiring no external power supply, it is particularly suitable for explosion-proof workshops or sites without electricity. It can fill low- to high-viscosity fluids including water, edible oil, juice, milk, yogurt, sauces, cream, honey, shampoo, butter, margarine, ketchup, jam, and detergent liquid, and is widely used in the food, daily chemical, and chemical industries for small-batch and pilot production.

4. Sales Suggestions & FAQ

4.1 Sales Suggestions

Selection Principle: Confirm the customer's filling range and material viscosity first; for high-viscosity pastes, recommend FF4-500/FF4-1000 with a large-diameter filling nozzle.
Payment Terms: Commonly 100% T/T; negotiable.
MOQ: 1 set.
Lead Time: Standard models in stock.
After-Sales Service: One-year warranty on the whole machine. Under warranty, free repair or replacement parts are provided for faults occurring during normal use according to the manual (the customer bears international freight). Lifetime repair service is provided outside the warranty period.

4.2 Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does the FF4 series require electrical power? A1: No. The FF4 is fully pneumatic driven; it only needs a 0.4–0.6 MPa compressed air supply to operate, making it especially suitable for explosion-proof or power-free workshops.

Q2: Can it fill high-viscosity pastes? A2: Yes. The FF4 uses piston volumetric filling, suitable for water-like liquids to high-viscosity pastes such as ketchup, honey, butter, and face cream. For ultra-high viscosity materials, the FF4B series or a heated and agitated hopper is recommended.

Q3: How is the filling volume adjusted? A3: The filling volume is adjusted by a hand wheel on the side of the machine that changes the piston stroke; both filling volume and filling speed are steplessly adjustable.

Q4: Does it support automatic filling? A4: Yes. The machine switches between foot valve mode and automatic timer mode, filling automatically at preset intervals in automatic mode.

Q5: What material contacts the product? Is it food-grade? A5: The standard configuration is 304 stainless steel, with 316 stainless steel optional; both meet food safety requirements. The sealing ring is a silicone O-ring rated to 200 °C, and a corrosion-resistant rubber sealing ring is also available.

Q6: Can one machine fill several different sizes? A6: Each model covers a specific filling range that can be covered by adjusting the piston stroke; for a large range span, switching to the matching model is recommended (for example, from FF4-100 to FF4-500).

Q7: What is the packaging method and shipping volume? A7: Each unit is packed in a plywood case measuring approximately 49 × 45 × 155 cm and weighing about 50 kg, suitable for LCL sea freight or air cargo.

Q8: How long is the warranty? A8: One-year warranty on the whole machine, with lifetime repair service.
