FAQ – FILLERS

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 01:24:31 +0000

What’s the difference between a volumetric filler and an overflow filler?
A volumetric (piston) filler dispenses a fixed, pre-set volume into each container. An overflow filler fills to a consistent level regardless of small differences in bottle volume, which keeps the visible fill line uniform across a batch — important for retail-facing liquid products.

How do I choose between a piston filler and a fill-by-weight system?
Choose piston filling when the product’s density is consistent and a set volume per container is what matters. Choose fill-by-weight when density varies (common with foamy, viscous, or particulate heavy products) and the actual net weight per container is the number that must be controlled and verified.

Can these fillers handle foamy or viscous products?
Yes. The Metering Pump Liquid Filler (MP90NG-CA) is built specifically for foamy products using profiled sub-surface fills, and the Precision Piston Filler (PF20-CA) handles highly viscous liquids with the same sub surface, splash-reducing approach.

Can a semi-automatic filler be upgraded to fully automatic later?
Yes. The Semi Automatic Overflow Filler (LF90ST-C/PD) is specifically designed to be upgraded to the fully automatic LF90CA-C/PD configuration as production volume grows, so you don’t need to replace the machine outright.

Are SPM fillers built in Canada?
Yes. All SPM filling equipment is designed and built in Canada, supporting shorter lead times and local parts and service.

FAQ – LABELERS

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 01:06:05 +0000

What’s the difference between a wrap labeler and a top labeler?
A wrap labeler applies a label around the circumference of a round container, like a bottle or can. A top labeler applies a label flat onto a lid, carton face, or pouch. Some product lines, like the PL-622W, combine both in one machine.

Can these labeling machines handle tapered or irregular bottles?
Yes. The Prism Aligner Wrap Labeler (LM-W150/200-3PA) is built specifically for tapered containers and imperfect glass bottles, using a three-point alignment system to keep labels straight and feature aligned.

Are Speedway’s labelers made in Canada?
Yes. Speedway Packaging Machinery designs and manufactures its labeling equipment in Canada, which supports shorter lead times, local parts availability, and in-region service and support.

What industries use SPM labeling machines?
Cosmetics, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cannabis, brewery, and general industrial packaging operations all use SPM labelers, chosen based on container shape, label type, and required line speed.

Do you offer entry-level labeling machines for smaller production runs?
Yes. The ELF-50 (wrap) and ELF-20 (top) are compact tabletop models designed for brands that are scaling up and don’t yet need a full industrial line.
