Jam Filling Machine

With the rising demand for fruit spreads and artisanal jams, your production line must ensure consistent fill volumes, preserve fruit chunks, maintain texture, and protect flavor. Viscous, chunky, and high-sugar jams require precise handling to maintain product integrity and extend shelf life.

 

Our jam filling machine automates forming, filling, sealing, and optional MAP in a single FFS (Form-Fill-Seal) system. It increases throughput, reduces manual labor, and ensures consistent quality for retail jars, squeezable pouches, and foodservice applications.

Your Challenges, Solved

Challenge: Uneven Fill or Overflows

Solution:
The jam filling machine delivers precise portioning for chunky, smooth, and high-viscosity jams. Controlled dosing prevents spills, ensures consistent jar weights, and protects delicate fruit pieces.

Challenge: Manual Packaging Limits Production

Solution:
The FFS system in our jam filling machine integrates container feeding, filling, and sealing into a single automated process, eliminating bottlenecks and reducing labor requirements.

Challenge: Maintaining Freshness & Shelf Life

Solution:
Optional Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) preserves flavor, color, and texture. Controlled gas flushing and airtight sealing reduce oxidation, microbial growth, and spoilage.

Challenge: Flexible Container Options for Retail & Foodservice

Solution:
Supports jars, cups, pouches, and trays with a variety of films and lids. Switch between retail, private-label, and foodservice sizes without machine changeovers.
