Can it fill something other than honey?
Possibly. Tell us how your product flows, its ingredients and filling temperature, plus the dose and container you plan to use. We can check the pump, feed and outlet setup before you order.
Can I switch between different jar sizes?
Yes. Save settings for repeat fills in separate programmes. On the stand version, you can also adjust the height and jar guide for the container. Check a test fill on a scale when you change jobs and recalibrate if needed.
Do I need to weigh every jar?
You use a scale to calibrate and check test fills. The machine then dispenses the set dose during the run; it does not weigh each jar individually. Continue to make the checks appropriate for your product and packing process.
How many jars per hour can I expect?
There is no single rate for every batch. Fill size, honey behaviour and the time it takes to change jars all affect output. The quoted pump capacity is not a jars-per-hour promise.
Do I need a hopper?
Not necessarily. The pump needs a suitable product feed, which could come from an optional hopper or a vessel connected with the right fittings. Tell us how you want to supply the honey so we can check the connection.
Does it move jars or put lids on them?
No. You present and remove each jar, and handle lids separately. If you want automatic jar handling, ask us about Swienty’s separate turntable stations.
How do I clean it between batches?
The product-contact parts can be taken apart for cleaning. Follow the supplied machine instructions for emptying, disconnecting, cleaning and reassembly, especially when changing products.
Can I use it for warm filling?
Tell us the product and the temperatures involved before ordering. We will confirm whether the machine and any additional equipment are suitable for your process.
