High Vacuum Filling Machine Market Size

High Vacuum Filling Machine Market Analysis

The high vacuum filling machine is expected to register a CAGR of 4% over the forecast period 2021 - 2026. Currently filling machine in the food industry, beverage industry, cosmetic industry, etc are widely used and increasingly fierce competition in food packaging machinery, food filling machinery in the future will be with industrial automation which promotes the overall level of packaging equipment, development of multi-function, high efficiency, low consumption of food packaging equipment. Moreover, more diversified products and more differentiated pipeline emulsifiers have become a trend in the development of the beverage industry. The rapid development of the beverage industry will be the ultimate driving force for the mechanical technology of filling equipment, especially in the vacuum filling equipment.

• Demand for the increased shelf life of the product is driving the market. According to US Packaging and Wrapping LLC, their studies have shown that vacuum filling/packaging can increase product shelf life from 50% to 400%. The key to increasing product shelf life is determining the ideal atmosphere within the packaging for the product being packaged during the filling process. This could be the introduction of inert gas or the reduction of oxygen to ideal levels. Vacuum filling is also and preferred form of packaging for many products going into long term freezer storage.
• Higher production speeds with simple controls/lower operator interaction drives the market. Automatic high vacuum filling machines allow packagers to produce more than could be produced by hand filling products. From thin free-flowing products to high viscosity items such as jelly or paste, automatic bottle fillers allow multiple containers to be filled with each cycle. With up to sixteen fill heads, inline systems can reach speeds of up to 120 bottles per minute, allowing thousands of bottles to be filled each day. The crucial settings such as fill times, indexing times, pump speeds and more are set on a centrally located touchscreen interface, which allows the manufacturer with smooth operation.
• Moreover, as production and demand increase, more fill heads can be added to the machine. With most machines, a maximum of sixteen fill heads can be placed on the nozzle bar, allowing sixteen containers to be filled with each cycle. Different machines may have different limits and top speed will depend on factors such as bottle size and shape and the actual product being filled.
• However, high initial investments, and training the company personnel to operate these machines, are few drawbacks, which act as restraints to the market.
