When you're building a business, choosing the right equipment is more than just a line item on your expense sheet—it's an investment in your future. At Apex Filling Systems, we work with companies at every stage of growth—from bootstrapped startups working out of a single facility to large manufacturers scaling up nationwide distribution.
The one thing they all have in common? They need filling solutions that grow with them.
Whether you're just getting off the ground or gearing up to hit new production milestones, here's how Apex Filling Systems can support your journey at every phase.
At this stage, budgets are tight, space is limited, and flexibility is key. You might be hand-filling products now or just beginning to automate.
Our Recommendation: Semi-Automatic Fillers
Best for: Small batch production, pilot runs, proof of concept.
Popular options: Bench-top liquid fillers, semi-automatic piston or overflow fillers.
Benefits:
Low upfront investment
Easy to operate and clean
Quick changeovers for multiple SKUs
Use case example: A startup skincare brand filling 100–500 units per day looking to streamline without overcommitting capital.
You've validated your product, orders are coming in, and you're outgrowing your semi-auto setup. You need faster throughput, better consistency, and perhaps the ability to integrate with other packaging equipment like cappers or labelers.
Our Recommendation: Fully Automatic Inline Filling Systems
Best for: Mid-size producers filling a few thousand units per day.
Popular options: Inline overflow or piston fillers with conveyors and PLC controls.
Benefits:
Higher production speed (20–60+ BPM)
Integration-ready for capping, labeling, etc.
Customizable for different product viscosities and container shapes
Use case example: A natural juice company supplying local grocery chains with 5,000+ units a day, needing fast, consistent fills.
This is where throughput and uptime are everything. You're filling tens of thousands of units daily, potentially running multiple shifts, and need a robust, integrated system that can scale with your growing distribution.
Our Recommendation: High-Speed Rotary and Turnkey Packaging Lines
Best for: Large manufacturers, national distribution, co-packers.
Popular options: Rotary filling machines, monoblock systems, complete turnkey lines.
Benefits:
Speeds of 100+ bottles per minute
Precision engineering for minimized waste
Full line automation and data integration
Use case example: A contract manufacturer producing multiple SKUs for several brands, needing rapid changeovers and minimal downtime.
