Is your business growing faster than you can keep up with? From humble beginnings to orders pouring in, you might need an extra set of hands—or better yet, something we've got in store for you: the A03. In this blog, we’ll explore common production issues with liquid products and show you how the A03 can help you overcome them as your brand grows.
The A03 Filling Machine is here to revolutionise your production process. Designed for precision, speed, and ease, this automatic filling machine eliminates the headaches associated with manual filling, increasing both productivity and accuracy. Whether you’re filling liquids, creams, or gels, the A03 is a versatile solution that will streamline your operations and reduce costly errors. In this article, we’ll explore why the A03 is a must-have for businesses looking to scale up, improve consistency, and save time.
When starting out, many small businesses fill products by hand. It’s cost-effective, but as demand grows, daily struggles may start creeping in... Here are some of the biggest challenges small-scale production owners face:
-
Inconsistent Filling Levels
Hand-filling makes it hard to achieve the same fill level in every bottle. Even a small variation can give a less professional appearance and potentially create issues with product regulation. Consistency matters, and customers notice when each bottle looks uniform, and even more importantly, when not! -
Slow Production Time
Manual filling takes time, especially as orders increase. Filling each bottle by hand limits how quickly you can fulfill larger orders, making it difficult to scale your business without adding more time and labour. If it is your dream to expand your brand, make sure you have all the resources needed to do so - that is why we are here to help! Small batch production is great for starting out, but to grow, you need equipment that can handle larger volumes without the cost of industrial machines. You need something that can scale with your business, allowing you to go from test batches to steady production runs. -
Messy Workspaces and Product Waste
Without a precise nozzle, filling products like oils, lotions, or sauces can get messy. Overflow and drips lead to product waste, add to your cleaning time, and create the risk of contamination.
Fear not—we’ve searched the globe to bring you the latest in production technology, all packed into the A03, and at a price that won’t break the bank. We’re confident you’ll love this equipment as much as we do—just ask Brighton, our production lead, who relies on the A03 daily! Here’s how it elevates your production:
- Lets crank up the speed, shall we? Capable of filling +- 12 bottles per minute, the A03 significantly reduces the time spent on filling by hand. That’s over 700 bottles per hour if you're running at full capacity - we tested it! The increase in production speed means you can meet larger orders and keep up with demand, all while maintaining product integrity.
- From face creams to chili mayo, the A03 handles it all – whether it’s a liquid or a paste, you can count on it every time. This machine handles a variety of liquids and smooth pastes, making it perfect for beauty creams, sauces, essential oils, and certain chemical solutions. It’s ideal for small businesses in the food, cosmetics, and chemical sectors. However, it’s important to note that the machine works best with smooth liquids or pastes—it’s not suitable for particularly thick or textured products.
- Low maintenance, high convenience. With a food-grade stainless steel structure and a 10-liter hopper capacity, the A03 is both durable and easy to clean. The hopper is easy to disassemble and reassemble, making it simple to switch between products or perform a thorough clean-up at the end of the day. Keeping the machine in top condition is straightforward and takes only minutes.
- Manual power, maximum control (even when Load Shedding hits)! The A03 runs on manual power, meaning you have complete control over the filling process. By adjusting two screws, you can control both the filling speed and volume, allowing you to adjust the machine as your production needs change. This feature is a lifesaver for small businesses that require flexibility as they grow.
Production challenges can be tough, but the A03 is even tougher! Whether you’re crafting small-batch skincare, gourmet sauces, or specialised chemical solutions, this machine provides the versatility, precision, and ease of use that small businesses need. Built to grow with you, it lets you take on more orders, boost efficiency, and maintain top-quality standards as you scale.
