Filling high-viscosity products with particles

Chilli sauce, bean paste, fruit fillings and prepared-dish sauces are the products where filling equipment is most often blamed for a problem that is really a pump-principle problem.

Why piston machines struggle here

How rotor pump filling differs

A rotor pump moves product through a cavity that opens and closes as the rotor turns. There is no valve seat to bridge across and no piston to compress against. Displaced volume per revolution stays known, so the dose is controlled by rotation count — with a servo providing the correction.
