Plastic Bucket Filling and Sealing Machines
Plastic Bucket Filling and Sealing Machines
SIGITASPAK supplies plastic bucket filling and sealing machines for dairy products, sauces, pastes, spreads, salads, preserves, technical liquids, household chemicals and other products packed into larger ready-made plastic packaging.
Plastic buckets and pails are used when the manufacturer needs a larger consumer or industrial package with stable handling, reliable closure and convenient transportation. This format is suitable for sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sauces, mayonnaise, tomato paste, honey, jam, salads, preserves, liquid soap, washing fluids and selected non-food liquid or paste products.
The equipment is selected according to product viscosity, dose volume, bucket diameter, bucket height, container stability, foil or film sealing requirement, plastic lid type, sanitary level, target capacity and integration with conveyors, coding, labeling, case packing or palletizing equipment.
Plastic bucket filling: what production tasks the equipment solves
Plastic bucket filling and sealing machines are used when a product must be accurately dosed into larger ready-made packaging and closed for storage, transportation and retail or industrial distribution. The machine can feed empty buckets or containers, dose the product, apply foil or film, seal the package, place a plastic lid, print the date and discharge finished packs to the next conveyor.
The format is suitable for food, dairy, deli, sauce, preserve and non-food production. Depending on available factory space and required capacity, the solution can be built on a rotary machine with compact operation around a rotary table or on a linear machine with more space for dosing systems and auxiliary modules.
- Filling equipment for sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, butter, spreads, sauces, mayonnaise, pâté, caviar, salads and preserves.
- Packaging equipment for plastic buckets and larger containers with foil sealing, film sealing or plastic cap placing.
- Rotary bucket filling machines for compact layouts, larger containers and flexible format handling.
- Linear bucket filling machines for flexible configurations with several fillers, UV treatment, cap placing and downstream integration.
Products packed into plastic buckets
Dairy products and sauces
Sour cream, yogurt, cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, butter, spreads, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, tomato paste and sauces.
Pastes, preserves and ready food
Chocolate paste, jam, honey, pâté, caviar, salads, fish preserves, seaweed, products with soft inclusions and multicomponent recipes.
Non-food liquids and pastes
Liquid soap, washing fluids, household chemical liquids, technical liquids and other non-food products compatible with the selected filling system.
Rotary filling machines for plastic buckets
Rotary PASTPACK machines are selected for plastic buckets, pails and larger containers when the production area requires a compact footprint and sequential operations around a rotary table. These machines can combine container feeding, dosing, foil placing, foil sealing, date printing, optional plastic cap placing and finished package discharge.
Linear filling machines for plastic buckets
Linear PASTPACK machines are selected when the production line needs more space for technological units, several dosing systems, cap placing, UV treatment, roll-fed film sealing or further downstream integration. This layout is useful for larger containers and products with different viscosity levels.
How to select equipment for plastic buckets
Selection starts with the product, bucket dimensions and closing method. For food products, hygiene level, product-contact materials and sealing quality are critical. For technical and chemical products, viscosity, foaming, abrasiveness, compatibility with contact parts and maintenance access should also be checked.
- PASTPACK R2 is selected for larger plastic buckets and containers up to 3 liters when a compact rotary layout is required.
- PASTPACK R2 WITH TWO ROWS is selected when two packages per working cycle are needed in a rotary format.
- PASTPACK 2R2 is selected for high-output production with two enlarged rotary tables and flexible product or format handling.
- PASTPACK L is selected for a flexible single-row linear layout with space for several fillers and optional modules.
- PASTPACK 2L is selected when two-row linear filling is needed with higher output and integration into a production line.
- Downstream integration can include conveyors, date coding, labeling, checkweighing, case packing, palletizing and other end-of-line equipment.
What should be checked before machine selection
For correct equipment configuration, it is necessary to evaluate the full packaging set: bucket, product, foil or film, lid, filling dose, closure method and production route after filling.
| Parameter | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Bucket format | Diameter, height, volume, handle, shape, stack quality and container stability. | The format defines feeding system, carrier design, filling position and sealing geometry. |
| Product type | Liquid, pasty, viscous, difficult-to-flow, multicomponent or with soft inclusions. | The product determines dosing system type, nozzle design and hygienic or technical options. |
| Closing method | Foil sealing, roll-fed film sealing, plastic cap placing, snap-on lid or project-specific closure. | Closure must match the bucket flange, shelf-life requirements and logistics conditions. |
| Capacity | Required packs per minute, one-row or two-row operation, rotary or linear layout. | The required output defines whether rotary or linear equipment is more suitable. |
| Sanitary level | UV treatment, HEPA filtration, protective chamber, CIP-related options and stainless-steel execution. | Higher sanitary level may be required for dairy, chilled products and sensitive food recipes. |
| Line integration | Discharge conveyor, date coding, labeling, checkweighing, group packing and palletizing. | The bucket filling machine can work as a standalone unit or as part of a complete line. |
