Packaging Fillers in Houston, TX — Any Liquid, Powder, or Granulated Product, Filled and Capped
Lone Star capabilities provide for the filling and capping of containers of virtually any kind of liquid, free-flowing powder, or granulated product — from net-weigh liquid lines with automatic reject to servo auger powder systems and aerosol filling with CO2 impact charging.
Every Other Machine Exists to Serve This One
The filler sets your line's rate, your product's accuracy, and your compliance posture — which is why fill technology gets matched to the product first: gravity, vacuum, volumetric, and weight-fill systems by mechanical or electronic valve technology, plus counter-pressure, gravity, and hot-fill machines for still and carbonated beverages.
Containers span glass, PET, rigid plastic, aluminum, and steel — with special solutions for multi-product and multi-container applications, where flexibility and reliability are the keys to success for co-packers.
Upstream, containers arrive from the unscrambler or depalletizer on air or table-top conveyor; downstream, filled product heads to case packing.
Net-Weigh Filling: The Most Accurate Way to Fill Liquids
The advanced net-weight filler offers the most accurate means of filling a majority of liquid products — protecting from over- and under-fills and assuring the correct amount of product every time.
Load cells weigh each empty container, tracking container quality before a drop of product moves. Then each filled bottle is weighed — giving the producer statistical data to validate process control. Containers that don't meet pre-selected targets are rejected automatically.
Because the machine fills to weight rather than volume, the target is met regardless of variations in volume due to temperature or density changes — the failure mode volumetric systems can't escape. It's the filling-side sibling of the checkweigh systems we integrate downstream.
Powder, Aerosol, Industrial — and the Cappers That Finish the Job
Powder Fillers
Auger and volumetric technology for free-flowing powders and granulated products, at every speed class.
Cappers
Available as stand-alone units or as an integral part of a filling system, fitting virtually any cap size, configuration, and filler speed requirement. Mechanical (magnetic), electronic, and pneumatic styles each provide different control of the capping head — matched to torque sensitivity and speed.
Aerosol Fillers
Inline and monoblock rotary indexing designs suitable for aerosol products with flammable or non-flammable liquefied propellants and CO2 impact charging — engineered for the hazard class the product demands.
Industrial Container Filling
Turn-key filling and packaging lines for industrial liquids — cans, pails, and plastic containers from 0.5 to 1,000 kg — as independent units or complete lines, including volumetric filler/seamer combinations for sealed metal packaging.
| Your product | Fill technologies that fit |
|---|---|
| Still liquids | Gravity, vacuum, volumetric, or net-weigh — mechanical or electronic valves |
| Carbonated beverages | Counter-pressure filling |
| Hot-fill products (juices, teas, sauces) | Hot-fill machines |
| Powders & granulated products | Servo or rotary auger, volumetric cup, continuous rotary |
| Aerosols | Inline or monoblock rotary indexing with propellant charging |
| Accuracy-critical liquids | Net-weigh with load cells, SPC data, and auto reject |
Filler FAQs
What products can packaging fillers handle?
Virtually any liquid, free-flowing powder, or granulated product — with dedicated equipment for ground coffee, liquids, powders, and volumetric applications, in glass, PET, rigid plastic, aluminum, and steel containers.
What is a net-weigh filler?
The most accurate way to fill most liquid products: load cells weigh each empty container, the filled bottle is weighed again for statistical process-control data, out-of-target containers reject automatically, and target weight is met regardless of temperature- or density-driven volume changes.
What powder filling options exist?
Servo-driven augers, rotary augers for accurate high speed, coffee fillers, volumetric in-line cup fillers, continuous-motion rotary systems, automatic fill weight control, and a 3-A dairy option.
What capper styles are available?
Stand-alone or integral to the filler, in mechanical (magnetic), electronic, and pneumatic styles — fitting virtually any cap size, configuration, and filler speed.
Can you fill aerosols?
Yes — inline and monoblock rotary indexing designs for flammable or non-flammable liquefied propellants, with CO2 impact charging.
Do you install filling lines in Houston?
Yes — supplied, installed, and integrated with container infeed, conveyor, and controls throughout Houston, the Gulf Coast, and all of Texas. Call 713-532-4444 for a quote.
