Two Drive Versions, Both Available on the FF3: the customer chooses at order time: - Electric-Pneumatic Version (like the FF2): pneumatic actuation + electric control. Requires 220V / 50–60Hz power (draw only ~100W) plus an air compressor (0.4–0.6 MPa). Adds the electric timer for automatic filling mode and steadier cycle control. - Fully-Pneumatic Version (like the FF6): pneumatic drive AND pneumatic control — no electricity at all. Requires only an air compressor (0.4–0.6 MPa). Intrinsically safe, explosion-proof by construction, foot-pedal trigger only. The right choice for flammable / alcohol-based / solvent-based products and explosion-proof zones.
ℹ Versatility Note: The FF3 is optimized for paste and high-viscosity products (sauce, cream, ointment, honey, ketchup, etc.) and also fills free-flowing liquids (water, juice, milk, oil, etc.) — one machine covers both paste and liquid filling tasks.
FF3 = FF2/FF6 machine body + Integrated Stainless Steel Stand: The FF3 series shares the exact same machine body, hopper, filling specifications and weights as the FF2 (electric-pneumatic) and FF6 (fully-pneumatic) series — the machine body and hopper dimensions/volumes/weights are identical. The ONLY difference: the FF3 is delivered on a dedicated integrated 201 stainless steel floor stand (dimensions 80 × 46 × 24 cm, weight 11 kg), turning the benchtop FF2/FF6 into a ready-to-use floor-standing production line station — no separate bench to buy, no mounting work, one shipment.
Overview
The FF3 series is Wenzhou T&D's semi-automatic horizontal paste filling machine with an integrated stainless steel stand — the floor-standing, line-ready version of the FF2/FF6 platform. It covers 8 models (FF3-50/100/300/500/1000/2500/3000/5000) with filling ranges from 5–50 ml up to 500–5000 ml. Two drive versions are available, selected at order time: the electric-pneumatic version (220V/50–60Hz, ~100W + 0.4–0.6 MPa air; electric timer enables automatic filling mode — same architecture as the FF2) or the fully-pneumatic version (compressed air only, no electricity, intrinsically safe and explosion-proof — same architecture as the FF6, for flammable / alcohol-based / solvent-based products and explosion-proof zones). Both versions share the same core filling specs: Airtac pneumatic components, piston-type volumetric filling with ±1% accuracy, bottom-close positive shutoff drip-free nozzles (orifice 5–25 mm selectable), filling speed 5–30 cycles/min, standard 30L hopper (same hopper dimensions and weight as FF2/FF6; 40L/60L/80L optional; heating/stirring/pressurized hoppers optional), 201 stainless steel frame with food-grade 304 stainless steel contact parts (316 optional). Filling heads are fully configurable: single head, dual head, 4-head or multi-head. The FF3's single key difference vs. FF2/FF6 is the integrated 201 stainless steel floor stand — dimensions 80 × 46 × 24 cm, weight 11 kg (with adjustable leveling feet and a side container tray): the machine arrives mounted at floor-standing working height, drop-in for production lines with no separate bench required. The machine body, hopper volume and weights are otherwise identical to the FF2/FF6. Suitable for cosmetics (creams, lotions, gels), food (sauce, jam, honey, ketchup, peanut butter), daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals (ointments), chemicals (lubricants, adhesives) and free-flowing liquids — with the fully-pneumatic version additionally covering flammable and explosion-proof applications.

With the fully-pneumatic version, flammable / alcohol-based / solvent-based products are additionally covered. Typical products and industries:
Primary — Paste / High-Viscosity:
- Food: sauce, ketchup, jam, honey, peanut butter, chocolate paste, mustard, mayonnaise
- Cosmetics & Personal Care: face cream, body lotion, hand cream, shampoo (thick), shower gel, hair conditioner, gel
- Daily Chemicals: detergent paste, dish soap (thick), shoe polish
- Pharmaceutical: ointments, topical creams, medicinal paste
- Chemical: lubricants, adhesives, sealing compounds (fully-pneumatic version: solvent-based adhesives, paints, inks)
Secondary — Free-Flowing Liquids:
- drinking water, juice, milk, edible oil, liquid seasonings, liquid medicine, liquid detergents (fully-pneumatic version: alcohol-based liquids, perfume, essential oils, solvents)
Typical Customers: small-to-medium paste / cosmetic / food production lines that need a ready-to-use floor-standing filling station — no bench procurement needed; workshops that want to choose between electric-pneumatic control and fully-pneumatic explosion-proof operation on the same machine platform; sauce / honey / ketchup / cosmetic filling lines where standing operation matters; explosion-proof zones and flammable-product fillers (choose the fully-pneumatic FF3 — now available with a floor stand, no bench needed in hazardous areas); plants without on-site electricity; frequent changeover producers; businesses filling both paste SKUs and liquid SKUs with one machine.
1.3 Key Functions
- Piston-type volumetric filling optimized for paste: cylinder-driven piston with adjustable stroke — handles thick products (sauce, cream, ointment) without splashing or pulling apart; volume is steplessly adjustable within the model range; change specs without changing parts
- Two drive versions on one platform: order the electric-pneumatic version (steady electric-controlled cycles + automatic timer mode) or the fully-pneumatic version (no electricity, intrinsically safe, explosion-proof) — same body, same filling performance, same stand
- Liquid-capable as a bonus: switch from paste to liquid with a nozzle change and a piston-stroke adjustment; one machine covers both product categories
- Dual trigger modes (electric-pneumatic version): foot-pedal switch (semi-auto) or automatic electric timer (auto); semi-auto ⇄ auto switchable. Fully-pneumatic version: foot-pedal trigger only
- Drip-free filling: bottom-close positive shutoff nozzles — discharge seals the moment filling ends; no stringing, no dripping, no paste tail on bottle mouths (critical for cosmetic and food applications)
- Configurable filling heads: single head, dual (2-head), 4-head or multi-head — order the configuration that matches your output target; multi-head versions multiply throughput proportionally
- Adjustable fill volume and speed: match different container formats (small jars, large buckets) and line paces; filling speed 5–30 cycles/min (paste-tuned)
- Flexible hopper / feed options: standard 30L hopper (same dimensions and weight as FF2/FF6); optional 40L / 60L / 80L larger hoppers reduce refill stops; optional heating hopper, stirring hopper or pressurized hopper to match product characteristics (hopper options identical to FF2/FF6)
- ** Integrated 201 stainless steel floor stand (FF3's signature addition vs. FF2/FF6): dimensions 80 × 46 × 24 cm, weight 11 kg — the machine mounts on the stand at floor-standing working height for standing operation; adjustable leveling feet keep the unit stable on uneven floors; the side-mounted tray lets the operator set down containers beside the filling nozzle — drop-in to a production line, no separate bench required**
2. Key Advantages
The FF3 shares its machine body, hopper, filling specifications and weights with the FF2 (electric-pneumatic) and FF6 (fully-pneumatic) series. Its two differentiators: (1) the integrated 201 stainless steel floor stand — the FF3 is the line-ready, floor-standing version; (2) both drive architectures are orderable on the same platform — the customer chooses electric-pneumatic or fully-pneumatic.
- ** Two drive versions on one platform — electric-pneumatic OR fully-pneumatic. The FF3 can be ordered as an electric-pneumatic unit (like the FF2: 220V/50–60Hz, ~100W + 0.4–0.6 MPa air, electric timer with automatic mode) or as a fully-pneumatic unit** (like the FF6: air only, no electricity, intrinsically safe, explosion-proof). One product platform covers both stable-power workshops and explosion-proof / no-power / flammable-product applications — and both arrive on the same integrated floor stand.
- Electric-pneumatic version — more precise control, steadier cycles. Electric control combined with pneumatic actuation keeps the filling cycle precisely timed; in long continuous runs the cycle stays consistent with excellent batch repeatability. Filling speed 5–30 cycles/min, adjustable to the production pace.
- Fully-pneumatic version — explosion-proof by construction. No electric components whatsoever (no motors, no solenoids, no timers, no relays, no PLC) — no ignition source, intrinsically safe. The right choice for flammable, alcohol-based or solvent-based products (hand sanitizer gel, perfume, alcohol tinctures, solvent-based adhesives, paints, inks) and for explosion-proof zones — now available on a floor stand, so hazardous-area workshops also get line-ready installation without a bench.
- Airtac pneumatic components. Taiwan Airtac cylinders and valves deliver stable action and long service life — important for paste applications where the cylinder works against higher back-pressure. Spare parts are easy to source globally and long-term maintenance cost stays low.
- Ultra-low running cost. Electric-pneumatic version: total power draw only approx. 100W (0.1 kW) — electricity cost almost negligible. Fully-pneumatic version: 0W electrical power — only compressed air. Air consumption is on par with comparable pneumatic fillers on both versions.
- Simple to operate — connect and start. Electric-pneumatic version: connect power and air; intuitive electric control panel, quick learning. Fully-pneumatic version: connect air only — no electrics to learn, works anywhere, no voltage matching, no grounding concerns.
- 201 stainless steel frame + food-grade 304 stainless steel contact parts; 316 available. The all-stainless frame and food-grade product-contact parts meet food-safety requirements as standard (304); product-contact parts can be customized in 316 stainless steel for stronger acid/alkali and corrosion resistance. A stainless steel valve assembly resists corrosion and is easy to keep clean — critical for paste where residue is harder to remove.
- ±1% filling accuracy + drip-free nozzles. Piston metering is stable and reliable for paste (no under/over-fill); bottom-close positive shutoff nozzles eliminate dripping, stringing and paste tailing, keeping bottle mouths and the workbench clean — essential for cosmetic jars, food containers and pharma packaging.
- Paste + liquid in one machine — versatility and value. The FF3 is optimized for paste but also fills free-flowing liquids: change the nozzle, adjust the piston stroke and switch product categories. One machine replaces two single-purpose fillers.
- 8 models cover 5–5000 ml; changeover at zero cost. Adjust the piston stroke to change the fill volume — no parts replacement needed; a spec change takes just 2–3 minutes. Covers everything from sample-size cosmetic jars to large buckets.
- Flexible hopper — 30L standard, heating/stirring/pressurized options (identical to FF2/FF6). Standard 30L hopper; 40L, 60L or 80L larger sizes cut refill stops on high-volume lines. For hard-to-handle products, fit a heating hopper (temperature-sensitive products), a stirring hopper (prevents settling and separation) or a pressurized hopper (assists feeding of very viscous pastes — a native fit on the fully-pneumatic version).
- ** Integrated 201 stainless steel floor stand — line-ready, ergonomic, one-shipment delivery (vs. FF2/FF6). This is the FF3's single most important differentiation versus the FF2/FF6. The machine comes mounted on a dedicated 201 stainless steel floor stand — dimensions 80 × 46 × 24 cm, weight 11 kg — with adjustable leveling feet and a built-in side container tray: floor-standing working height lets the operator fill while standing; the tray provides a stable landing spot for jars/bottles during loading/unloading; leveling feet handle uneven workshop floors. The entire filling station arrives in one shipment** — no separate bench to procure, no extra welding or mounting.
- Leveling feet — stable on uneven floors. Adjustable feet let the operator fine-tune the stand height and level the machine on slightly uneven workshop floors — important for paste lines where the cylinder must work vertically and the filling nozzle must sit at a precise height over the container mouth.
- Food-grade silicone seals (rated 200 °C). Food-safe silicone O-rings as standard; corrosion-resistant rubber seals can be fitted when filling corrosive or sticky products.
- Single / dual / 4-head / multi-head — expandable without changing machines. Start with a single head; when volume grows, order the dual, 4-head or multi-head configuration (one cylinder per head) — or switch the electric-pneumatic version from foot-pedal semi-auto to automatic timer mode — no equipment replacement, no wasted investment.

4. Sales Guide & FAQ
4.1 Model Selection Logic
Two decisions when ordering an FF3: (1) the drive version — electric-pneumatic (like FF2) or fully-pneumatic (like FF6); (2) the model by filling range (and the head count: single / dual / 4-head / multi-head).
| Customer Filling Format | Recommended Model | Customer Filling Format | Recommended Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sample-size cosmetic jars / vials (5–50 ml) | FF3-50 | Large jars / bottles (100–1000 ml) | FF3-1000 |
| Small jars / trial-size (10–100 ml) | FF3-100 | Bucket-level (250–2500 ml) | FF3-2500 |
| Regular cosmetic / food jars (30–300 ml) | FF3-300 | Large pails / cans (300–3000 ml) | FF3-3000 |
| Household-size jars / large bottles (50–500 ml) | FF3-500 | Large pails / cans (500–5000 ml) | FF3-5000 |
Drive version selection (the FF2-vs-FF6 decision, now on one platform):
| Customer Situation | Recommended FF3 Version |
|---|---|
| Stable power, non-flammable product, wants steadiest cycles + auto-timer mode | Electric-pneumatic FF3 (FF2 architecture) |
| Explosion-proof zone, flammable / alcohol-based / solvent-based product, or no on-site electricity | Fully-pneumatic FF3 (FF6 architecture — no electricity, intrinsically safe) |
FF2/FF6 vs. FF3 selection — the only real decision: the FF2 (electric-pneumatic benchtop), FF6 (fully-pneumatic benchtop) and FF3 (floor stand) share the same machine body, hopper and filling specifications — the FF3's only difference is the integrated stand (80 × 46 × 24 cm, 11 kg). Choose FF3 if the customer wants a line-ready, floor-standing station with integrated tray, drop-in to production, one-shipment delivery. Choose FF2/FF6 if the customer already has a bench/table or wants a tabletop-only unit.
Talking Points:
- Customer fills paste / high-viscosity materials (sauce, jam, cream, ointment, ketchup, honey, lotion) → lead with the FF3: piston-type design handles thick products without splashing; bottom-close positive shutoff nozzle eliminates paste residue on bottle mouths; ±1% accuracy; ships on its own floor stand with an integrated tray.
- Customer wants line-ready, drop-in floor-standing operation (most production-line customers) → lead with the FF3: the integrated stand (80 × 46 × 24 cm, 11 kg) with leveling feet and side container tray means the unit is immediately usable in a production line — no separate bench to buy, no mounting work, one shipment.
- Customer needs explosion-proof operation AND a floor-standing station → the fully-pneumatic FF3 is the unique answer: no electricity + integrated stand — the benchtop FF6 could not serve hazardous-area workshops that have no bench; the FF3 can.
- Customer has no power in the workshop → order the fully-pneumatic FF3 version (air only — works anywhere, no voltage matching).
- Customer wants automatic timer mode and steady electric-controlled cycles → order the electric-pneumatic FF3 version (220V, ~100W, foot pedal ⇄ auto timer switchable).
- Customer fills both paste AND liquids → highlight "one FF3 machine covers both product categories — change the nozzle, adjust the piston stroke, switch from sauce to juice in minutes. One machine replaces two single-purpose fillers."
- Customer needs higher output → configure the FF3 as a dual / 4-head / multi-head machine — one cylinder per head; emphasize "start single-head, upgrade to multi-head, without changing the machine."
- Customer fills only free-flowing non-flammable liquids (no paste) → guide them to the F2 liquid filler instead — FF3 is over-spec for liquid-only lines.
- Customer fills multiple specifications → emphasize "adjust the stroke to change the volume — no parts change; one machine replaces several."
- Customer has no air compressor → proactively remind them: both FF3 versions require an air compressor (0.4–0.6 MPa) — offer to add one to the order so the machine can run on arrival.
- Customer runs big batches and the hopper frequently runs dry → recommend a 40L / 60L / 80L larger hopper to cut refill stops (same options as FF2/FF6).
- Customer's product needs heating, stirring or pressurized feeding (honey, chocolate paste; particulate or settling-prone sauce/jam; very viscous, hard-to-feed pastes) → match with the heating hopper, stirring hopper or pressurized hopper (pressurized is a native fit on the fully-pneumatic version).
- Customer handles pharmaceutical/chemical or corrosive products → promote custom 316 stainless steel contact parts — corrosion resistance sorted in one step.
- Customer's workshop floor is uneven → highlight the adjustable leveling feet on the FF3 stand — keeps the machine level and the nozzle at the right height even on imperfect floors.
- Trading terms (standard quotation wording): MOQ 1 unit; FOB Ningbo / EXW Wenzhou; T/T payment; goods in stock; heavy-duty carton packing with tools and spare parts included; stand ships with the machine (only minor leveling-foot adjustment required on arrival).
4.2 FAQ
Q1: Does this machine need electricity? A: It depends on the version you order. The FF3 is available in two drive versions: the electric-pneumatic version requires a 220V / 50–60Hz supply (power draw only ~100W) plus an air compressor (0.4–0.6 MPa); the fully-pneumatic version contains no electric components whatsoever and requires no electricity at all — only an air compressor (0.4–0.6 MPa).
Q2: Do I need an air compressor? A: Yes — both versions use pneumatic actuation and must be connected to an air compressor supplying 0.4–0.6 MPa. An ordinary small piston-type compressor (with an air receiver/tank) is sufficient; one can also be added to the order. (Choosing the fully-pneumatic version removes the electricity requirement, not the compressed-air requirement.)
Q3: Is the machine explosion-proof? A: The fully-pneumatic FF3 version is — it contains no electric components, so there is no ignition source; it is intrinsically safe and suited to explosion-proof zones and to filling flammable, alcohol-based or solvent-based products (hand sanitizer gel, perfume, alcohol tinctures, solvent-based adhesives, paints, inks). The electric-pneumatic version is not intended for explosion-proof duty — order the fully-pneumatic version for those applications.
Q4: What are the filling accuracy and speed? A: Accuracy is within ±1% (piston-type metering — stable, no drift); speed is 5–30 cycles/min (paste-tuned; slower than liquid-only fillers because paste requires longer per-stroke settling), and the filling speed is adjustable.
Q5: Can it fill both paste and liquids? What products can it handle? A: Yes — the FF3 is optimized for paste and high-viscosity products, and also fills free-flowing liquids (on the fully-pneumatic version, including flammable / alcohol-based / solvent-based liquids). Primary use: sauce, ketchup, jam, honey, peanut butter, chocolate paste, mustard, mayonnaise; face cream, body lotion, hand cream, shampoo (thick), shower gel, hair conditioner; ointments; detergents (thick); lubricants and adhesives. Secondary use: water, juice, milk, edible oil, liquid seasonings, liquid medicine, liquid detergents. One machine covers both paste and liquid categories — change the nozzle, adjust the piston stroke, switch product categories in minutes.
Q6: How is the FF3 different from the FF2 and FF6? A: The FF3 shares its machine body, hopper, filling specifications and weights with the FF2 and FF6 series — same piston metering (±1%), same 5–30 cycles/min paste-tuned speed, same 8-model lineup covering 5–5000 ml, same 30L standard hopper (40L/60L/80L optional; heating/stirring/pressurized options), same 201 SS frame + 304 SS contact parts (316 optional), same nozzle/drip-free/seal configuration. The FF3's single difference: it ships on an integrated 201 stainless steel floor stand — dimensions 80 × 46 × 24 cm, weight 11 kg — with adjustable leveling feet and a side container tray, turning the benchtop FF2/FF6 into a ready-to-use floor-standing production station. The FF3 can be ordered with either drive: electric-pneumatic (FF2 architecture, with auto-timer mode) or fully-pneumatic (FF6 architecture, explosion-proof). Choose FF3 for line-ready floor-standing operation; choose FF2/FF6 if you already have your own bench/table and want a tabletop unit.
Q7: What are the stand's specifications? A: The FF3's integrated stand measures 80 × 46 × 24 cm and weighs 11 kg, and provides:
- 201 stainless steel construction — matches the machine's corrosion-resistance profile; easy to wipe clean.
- Adjustable leveling feet — fine-tune the height and level the machine on slightly uneven workshop floors; important for paste lines where the cylinder and nozzle must be aligned vertically over the container mouth.
- Built-in side-mounted container tray/platform — a stable landing spot right beside the filling nozzle; the operator slides the jar onto the tray, slides it under the nozzle to fill, then slides it back. Reduces spillage and speeds up small-format loading.
- Floor-standing working height — operator fills while standing; no need to procure or build a separate bench; one-shipment delivery.
Q8: Are the product-contact materials food grade? A: The frame is 201 stainless steel and all product-contact parts are food-grade 304 stainless steel, meeting food-safety requirements; 316 stainless steel can be customized (greater acid/alkali and corrosion resistance — suited to pharmaceutical, chemical and corrosive products). Seals are food-grade silicone (rated 200 °C). The FF3's integrated stand and tray are also 201 stainless steel.
Q9: Will it drip, string or paste-tail? A: No. The nozzle uses a bottom-close positive shutoff design — the discharge closes the moment filling ends, guaranteeing drip-free operation. For paste applications this is critical: no stringing, no paste tail, no residue on the bottle mouth — keeping cosmetic jars, food containers and pharma packaging clean (on flammable products this is also a fire-safety benefit). Nozzle orifices can be selected within a 5–25 mm range (sized for paste flow).
Q10: Is changing the fill volume or switching between paste and liquid troublesome? A: Not at all. Within the model's range you simply adjust the piston stroke to change the fill volume — no parts replacement needed; a changeover takes only a few minutes. Switching between paste and liquid is also simple: change the nozzle (paste nozzle vs. liquid nozzle) and adjust the piston stroke and speed — a few minutes, no tools required.
Q11: Can it run fully automatically? Which head configurations are available? A: Electric-pneumatic version: yes — it supports both foot-pedal (semi-automatic) and automatic electric-timer (automatic) modes, switchable at any time. Fully-pneumatic version: foot-pedal (semi-automatic) trigger only — no electric timer on a machine with no electrics; this is the trade-off for explosion-proof safety. For higher output, all versions can be ordered as single-head, dual (2-head), 4-head or multi-head machines (one cylinder per head) — no machine replacement needed.
Q12: What are the MOQ, delivery time and warranty? A: MOQ is 1 unit; the factory keeps goods in stock for fast dispatch; export packing is a heavy-duty carton, one machine per case, with tools and spare parts included; the stand ships with the machine (only minor leveling-foot adjustment required on arrival). The machine carries a 1-year warranty (free repair or part replacement for non-human damage during the warranty period; international freight borne by the customer), with lifetime maintenance service after the warranty period.
Q13: Can I choose the hopper capacity? Can I get a heating, stirring or pressurized hopper? A: Yes. The hopper comes standard at 30L (same dimensions and weight as FF2/FF6), with 40L, 60L or 80L larger options for high-volume lines that need fewer refill stops. Three hopper types can also be fitted to suit the product: a heating hopper (temperature control keeps honey, chocolate paste, syrup and other products that thicken when cool free-flowing); a stirring hopper (continuous agitation prevents settling, separation and surface skinning — ideal for fruit-piece jams/sauces); and a pressurized hopper (compressed air assists stable feeding of very viscous pastes — a native fit on the fully-pneumatic version). Hopper options are identical to the FF2/FF6 — the only FF3 addition is the integrated stand.

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Does the FF3 paste filling machine with stand need electricity?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "It depends on the version ordered. The FF3 is available in two drive versions: the electric-pneumatic version requires a 220V/50–60Hz supply (only about 100W) plus an air compressor (0.4–0.6 MPa), while the fully-pneumatic version contains no electric components and requires no electricity at all — only an air compressor (0.4–0.6 MPa)."

},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Does the FF3 paste filling machine with stand need an air compressor?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes. Both the electric-pneumatic and fully-pneumatic versions use pneumatic actuation and must be connected to an air compressor supplying 0.4–0.6 MPa; an ordinary small piston-type compressor with an air receiver is sufficient. The fully-pneumatic version removes the electricity requirement, not the compressed-air requirement."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Is the FF3 paste filling machine with stand explosion-proof?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The fully-pneumatic FF3 version is: it contains no electric components, has no ignition source, and is intrinsically safe for explosion-proof zones and for filling flammable, alcohol-based or solvent-based products such as hand sanitizer gel, perfume, alcohol tinctures, solvent-based adhesives, paints and inks. The electric-pneumatic version is not intended for explosion-proof duty."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What are the filling accuracy and speed of the FF3 paste filling machine with stand?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Filling accuracy is within ±1%; filling speed is 5–30 cycles/min (paste-tuned) and is adjustable."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Can the FF3 filling machine with stand fill both paste and liquids?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes. The FF3 is optimized for paste and high-viscosity products and also fills free-flowing liquids (on the fully-pneumatic version, including flammable, alcohol-based and solvent-based liquids). Primary use covers sauce, ketchup, jam, honey, peanut butter, cream, lotion, thick shampoo, ointment, thick detergent, lubricant and adhesive; secondary use covers water, juice, milk, edible oil, liquid seasonings and liquid detergents. One machine covers both categories — change the nozzle, adjust the piston stroke, switch in minutes."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How is the FF3 paste filling machine with stand different from the FF2 and FF6?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The FF3 shares its machine body, hopper, filling specifications and weights with the FF2 (electric-pneumatic) and FF6 (fully-pneumatic) series — same ±1% piston metering, 5–30 cycles/min speed, 8-model lineup from 5–5000 ml, 30L standard hopper (40L/60L/80L optional), 201 SS frame with 304 SS contact parts (316 optional). The FF3's only difference is the integrated 201 stainless steel floor stand (dimensions 80 × 46 × 24 cm, weight 11 kg) with adjustable leveling feet and a side container tray, which turns the benchtop FF2/FF6 into a ready-to-use floor-standing production station. The FF3 can be ordered with either drive: electric-pneumatic (with auto-timer mode) or fully-pneumatic (explosion-proof). Choose FF3 for line-ready floor-standing operation; choose FF2/FF6 if you already have a bench and want a tabletop unit."

},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What are the dimensions and weight of the FF3's integrated 201 stainless steel stand?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The FF3's integrated 201 stainless steel stand measures 80 × 46 × 24 cm and weighs 11 kg. It provides 201 stainless steel construction matching the machine's corrosion-resistance profile, adjustable leveling feet for stability on uneven floors, a built-in side-mounted container tray for placing jars and bottles during loading, and floor-standing working height so the operator can fill while standing — no separate bench needed. The stand ships with the machine; only minor leveling-foot adjustment is required on arrival."

},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Which filling head configurations are available on the FF3 paste filling machine with stand?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The FF3 is configurable with a single head, dual (2-head), 4-head or multi-head filling arrangement (one pneumatic cylinder per head), selected at order time. Start with a single head and upgrade later without changing the machine."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Is it troublesome to change the filling volume or switch between paste and liquid on the FF3?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "No. Within the model range, adjusting the piston stroke changes the fill volume without replacing any parts; a changeover takes only a few minutes. Switching between paste and liquid is also simple: change the nozzle (paste vs. liquid) and adjust the piston stroke and speed — a few minutes, no tools required."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Will the FF3 paste filler drip, string or leave residue?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "No. The nozzle uses a bottom-close positive shutoff design — the discharge closes the moment filling ends. For paste applications this guarantees no stringing, no paste tail and no residue on bottle mouths, keeping cosmetic jars, food containers and pharma packaging clean. Nozzle orifices can be selected within a 5–25 mm range sized for paste flow."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Can the FF3 paste filling machine run fully automatically?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The electric-pneumatic version supports both foot-pedal (semi-automatic) and automatic electric-timer (automatic) modes, switchable at any time. The fully-pneumatic version supports foot-pedal triggering only, because the machine has no electrics — this is the trade-off for explosion-proof safety."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Can the hopper capacity of the FF3 paste filling machine be customized? Can it be fitted with a heating, stirring or pressurized hopper?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes. The hopper is 30L as standard (same dimensions and weight as the FF2/FF6), with 40L, 60L or 80L larger options to reduce refill stops on high-volume lines. It can also be fitted with a heating hopper (keeps temperature-sensitive products flowing), a stirring hopper (prevents settling, separation and surface skinning, suited to particulate sauces) or a pressurized hopper (compressed air assists stable feeding of very viscous pastes — a native fit on the fully-pneumatic version). Hopper options are identical to the FF2/FF6 — the FF3's single addition is the integrated stand."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is the warranty policy for the FF3 paste filling machine with stand?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The machine carries a 1-year warranty with free repair or part replacement for non-human damage during the warranty period (international freight borne by the customer), plus lifetime maintenance service after warranty. MOQ is 1 unit and the factory keeps goods in stock; the stand ships with the machine."

Materials confirmed on the quotation: tools and spare parts included; one machine per case (stand shipped with the machine); heavy-duty (thickened) carton; CE certification documents.
6. Workflow
6.1 Filling Operation Flow
① Setup
Position the FF3 on the production line floor.
Adjust the leveling feet to level the machine.
Electric-pneumatic version: connect power 220V/50–60Hz (approx. 100W)
+ connect air compressor, regulate to 0.4–0.6 MPa
Fully-pneumatic version: connect air compressor only, regulate to 0.4–0.6 MPa
(NO electrical connection)
│
② Feed
Add the paste (or liquid) into the hopper (standard 30L; 40/60/80L optional)
(use heating / stirring / pressurized hopper for products that need it)
│
③ Set Volume
Adjust piston stroke → set the fill volume per cycle (stepless within range)
Adjust filling speed if needed (paste: typically 5–30 cycles/min)
│
④ Place Container
Set the jar / bottle on the side-mounted tray, slide it under the filling nozzle
(paste: use paste nozzle 5–25 mm; liquid: switch to liquid nozzle)
│
⑤ Trigger Filling
Foot pedal (both versions, semi-automatic mode)
Electric-pneumatic version: or automatic timer (automatic mode)
│
⑥ Filled (accuracy ±1%)
Bottom-close positive shutoff nozzle → no dripping, no stringing, no paste tail
│
⑦ Next Container — Repeat
Slide the filled container back to the tray, repeat ④–⑥ at 5–30 cycles/min (paste)
│
⑧ Cleaning & Shutdown
Stop the machine; disconnect air (and power on the electric-pneumatic version);
disassemble and rinse hopper / piston / filling nozzle;
clean before switching to a different product
6.2 Sales Workflow (from inquiry to delivery)
- Requirement confirmation: fill volume per cycle (ml), speed requirement, product type (paste / liquid / both; flammable or not) → drives model range and nozzle size; the drive-version decision (stable power + non-flammable + wants auto-timer → electric-pneumatic version; explosion-proof zone / flammable / alcohol-based / solvent-based product / no on-site power → fully-pneumatic version); workshop power specification (220V/50–60Hz; other voltages to be confirmed with the factory); whether the customer already has an air compressor (both versions need one); benchtop or floor-standing? — this is the FF2/FF6 vs. FF3 selection question.
- FF2/FF6 vs. FF3 selection: want a line-ready, floor-standing station with integrated tray? → FF3; already have a bench or want a tabletop-only unit? → FF2 (electric-pneumatic) or FF6 (fully-pneumatic). All three share the same body, hopper and filling specs.
- Model & configuration recommendation: per the 4.1 table recommend FF3-50 ~ FF3-5000; select the drive version (electric-pneumatic / fully-pneumatic) and the head count (single / dual / 4-head / multi-head); for higher output, recommend multi-head.
- Supporting equipment check: confirm the customer has an air compressor (0.4–0.6 MPa, with delivery volume covering the machine's air consumption) so the machine can run on arrival; on the electric-pneumatic version confirm the power supply matches.
- Lock technical details: material (304 / custom 316), nozzle orifice (paste: 5–25 mm / liquid: smaller), seals (silicone / corrosion-resistant rubber), number of filling heads (single / dual / 4 / multi), drive version, foot-pedal vs. timer mode (electric-pneumatic version). Confirm: stand ships with the machine, leveling feet adjustable on arrival.
- Quotation & terms: MOQ 1 unit; FOB Ningbo / EXW Wenzhou; T/T; goods in stock; heavy-duty carton packing with tools and spare parts included.
- Order → shipment: ships from stock, one machine per case (stand included), export heavy-duty carton packing.
- After-sales support: 1-year warranty (free repair/part replacement; international freight borne by the customer), lifetime maintenance service after warranty; operation video and remote guidance provided.
Notes / Assumptions (please confirm with the factory)
- Confirmed by the user (this revision): (1) the FF3 offers two drive versions — electric-pneumatic (like FF2) and fully-pneumatic (like FF6), both optional at order time; (2) filling heads are configurable as single / dual / 4-head / multi-head; (3) the stand measures 80 × 46 × 24 cm and weighs 11 kg; (4) the machine body and hopper volumes and weights are identical to the FF2/FF6 series; (5) the stand material is 201 stainless steel (confirmed by the user).
- Stand dimension order & working height: the stand dimensions are recorded as provided (80 × 46 × 24 cm). Please confirm with the factory which figure is the height and the resulting overall working height (nozzle-to-floor) so the doc can state it precisely.
- Stand material (now confirmed as 201 stainless steel): the user has confirmed the FF3 stand material is 201 stainless steel. Please confirm the leveling-foot thread size and adjustment range, and the tray dimensions and load capacity.
- Model weight breakdown: machine body net weights (22–32 kg by model) and hopper specs are inherited from the FF2/FF6 series per the user's confirmation that "body and hopper volumes and weights are identical to FF2/FF6". Total net = body + 11 kg stand as stated in §3.2; gross weights and packaging dimensions for FF3 (body + stand in one shipment) are TBD — please confirm.
- Multi-head versions on the stand: assumed the dual / 4-head / multi-head versions are also deliverable on the FF3 stand. Please confirm that the stand accommodates multi-head variants (wider/heavier bodies).
- Fully-pneumatic version details: trigger mode assumed foot-pedal only (no electric timer) and explosion-proof suitability assumed per the FF6 architecture. Please confirm whether any factory certification (ATEX, IECEx, CNEX) applies.
- Operation video: the FF3-specific demo video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmyDI1ctDcA is referenced (replaces the previous FF2/FF6 platform placeholder https://youtu.be/Y6SS-5aiFyQ). If a more specific FF3 video (showing the integrated stand, side tray, standing operation) exists, please share the link.
- Filling speed, accuracy, nozzle range, materials: all inherited as-is from the FF2/FF6 platform (5–30 cycles/min, ±1%, 5–25 mm nozzle, 201 SS frame + 304 SS contact parts, 316 optional, Airtac components, 0.4–0.6 MPa air, 30L hopper standard, 40L/60L/80L optional; heating/stirring/pressurized hopper options identical).
