SAUCE & VISCOUS FOOD FILLING
Precision Filling, Matched to Your Sauce.
Fill smooth sauces, thick recipes and products with particles into bottles, jars or cans. Levapack offers a range of automatic sauce filling machines and configurations to suit your sauce, packaging and target output.
- Plan your project
Thick sauces, delicate pieces and thin seasonings need different filling setups. Start with your sauce’s flow, particle size and filling temperature to narrow the choice.
01
PISTON FILLING FOR THICK SAUCES
- Thick, slow-flowing texture that varies with temperature.
- Sticky consistency that can cling to nozzles and form strings.
- Emulsified recipes may be sensitive to excessive shear.
For ketchup, mayonnaise and thick dressings, start with piston filling. For denser products such as tomato paste and honey, we assess viscosity and feeding conditions before recommending a configuration. Servo-controlled dosing, hopper heating and anti-drip cut-off help manage thick-product filling.
01
ROTOR PUMP FILLING FOR SAUCES WITH PIECES
- Suspended seeds, herbs or vegetable pieces of different sizes.
- Solid and liquid components that may separate during holding.
- Soft pieces that can lose their shape under excessive pressure or shear.
For salsa, relish and chili sauces with small pieces, consider rotor pump filling. For meat sauces or recipes with meat pieces, we assess particle size, shape and recipe before matching the pump, valves and nozzles. Piston filling is another option for smaller particles.
01
PUMP FILLING FOR POURABLE SAUCES
- A fluid consistency that flows readily through the filling outlet.
- A tendency to splash or drip as flow starts and stops.
- Foaming behavior that varies with ingredients and filling speed.
For thin, particle-free seasonings, consider the LPE-CLB08 liquid filler. For smooth syrups and oil-based liquids, check the LPE-GPF02 gear pump filler. Your formulation, fill amount and required output guide the choice.
The Right Filling Technology, Built into Reliable Machines.
Levapack machines turn the selected filling method into controlled dosing, careful particle handling and cleaner cut-off. Across the range, servo-controlled metering, particle-matched passages and anti-drip valves support these results. Selectable filling heads and adjustable filling time offer flexibility for different bottles and fill volumes.
001
Best For: Ketchup, mayonnaise, thick sauces & small particles.
Dosing Tech: Servo-controlled pistons with anti-drip cut-off and blow-off.
Product Flow: Automatically controlled water/oil hopper heating supports steady feeding.
001
Best For: Viscous salsa, relish & vegetable sauces with small pieces.
Particle Handling: Pump, valves and passages matched to particle size help limit blockage and damage.
Product Flow: Controlled water/oil tank heating supports consistent feeding.
001
Best For: Oils, syrups & smooth liquids without solid particles.
Dosing Tech: Servo-driven gear pump meters each dose to your target fill amount.
Clean Cut-off: Polished 316 stainless steel valves reduce drips; suck-back is optional.
001
Best For: Vinegar, soy sauce & free-flowing seasonings without particles or impurities.
Head Control: Select individual heads and adjust filling time for different bottles and doses.
Nozzle Position: Cylinder-driven nozzles lower into bottles to help manage splashing and foam.

Reliable Sauce Filling Depends on Flow and Hygiene. Our Machines Help You Control Both.
We know the challenge: keeping sauce flowing during a run and removing sticky residue before the next batch. The right holding temperature depends on your sauce’s viscosity and process requirements.
Our equipment combines controlled heating, CIP cleaning and anti-drip valves to support steady flow and cleaner filling.
Our heated hoppers and tanks help keep thick sauces flowing as temperatures change. Automatically controlled water or oil heating supports steady feeding, with settings matched to your process.
Tackle sticky buildup before your next recipe. Our hopper and tank CIP cleaning helps remove residue between batches. We plan cleaning access for pumps, hoses and nozzles around your changeovers.
Our piston and rotor pump fillers use 304 stainless steel as their main construction material, with polished 316 stainless steel filling valves. Anti-drip and blow-off functions help reduce drips, strings and residue around container openings.
Address container hygiene before filling begins. Our optional air-blowing and UV equipment prepares compatible empty cans, with treatment matched to your format and hygiene needs. It treats the container, not the sauce.
Hundreds of Container Formats Supported. We Believe Yours Is No Exception.
From shaped bottles and squeeze packs to jars and cans, we configure our equipment around your packaging. For round cans in tin, aluminum or PET, share a sample so we can assess handling, filling and closing together.
01
Our equipment includes a reference configuration for container diameters of 20 – 200 mm and heights of 25 – 300 mm. We match guides, positioning and nozzles to keep your pack stable during filling. Narrow-neck bottles may need an optional clamping mechanism.
Match screw caps, press-on lids, foil seals or seamed can ends to the right closing equipment. We review your container and closure together to select cap handling, closing or sealing tooling.
Our equipment includes a conveyor configuration with a reference height of 850 mm. We coordinate transfer heights with your existing equipment and plan guides and change parts for each format. Final fit depends on container shape, opening and tooling.
Send your container drawings or samples, closure details and target fill amount. We’ll review them together and recommend the filling and closing setup.
One Filling Machine or a Complete Line. We Deliver Both.
Whether you need a standalone filler or a complete sauce packaging line, Levapack can supply either. We integrate container handling, filling, closing and labeling around your production needs, with one team coordinating the equipment and connections.
Capping and can seaming are alternative closing options. Plan heat treatment, cooling and labeling around your product and pack; shaped containers need suitable labeling equipment.
Build your sauce line with Levapack.
You need confidence in your equipment before it ships and support when production starts. Levapack combines packaging-line experience, pre-shipment testing and practical technical support to help your team move from purchase to production.
Draw on experience from 1,000+ canning lines delivered across our packaging business. As a filling and packaging equipment manufacturer based in China, we supply filling, capping, can seaming, labeling and container-handling equipment. Coordinate machine interfaces and container transfers through one equipment team.
