Liquid Fillability Profiler

Define how your liquid actually behaves and we’ll guide you to the right solution.

Products with the same viscosity can behave completely differently on a filling line. Factors like foaming, shear sensitivity, particulates, and flow behavior all impact how a product should be handled.

This tool helps you build a more complete profile of your product so we can recommend the most accurate and efficient filling approach.

Beyond Viscosity: Liquid & Semi-Solid Profiling

Not all liquids and semi-solids behave the same way on a filling line – even if they have the same viscosity number. This tool helps you describe your product in a more complete way, so equipment can be matched more accurately.

Overview & How to Use

Rate your product from 1 (very low) to 10 (very high) on each of the nine characteristics. The sliders don’t need to be perfect – approximate values are enough to build a useful profile.

  • Viscosity / Thickness: How thick it is at rest.
  • Flow Behavior / Thixotropy: Does it thin out when moving?
  • Particulate Content: Presence and nature of particles.
  • Abrasiveness: Do particles feel hard or gritty against metal or glass?
  • Foaming Tendency: Does it foam when pumped or poured?
  • Stickiness / Tackiness: How much it clings to surfaces.
  • Temperature Sensitivity: How strongly it changes with temperature.
  • Stringiness / Elasticity: Does it form threads or filaments?
  • Yield Stress: How much force it takes to get it moving.
