Why the Right Dosing Pump is Essential for Precision and Performance

The Right Dosing Pump from MSD Ltd: For many years, MSD Ltd has established itself as a go-to specialist in tube filling machinery. Our experience has shown us that the perfect dosing pump system is the most critical decision for optimising your production line. We can help you determine which pump best suits your unique application, ensuring you have the benefit of deep knowledge in machinery and spare parts.

A dosing pump is an integral and essential part of any tube filling machine, delivering a pre-determined product measure into every tube. Getting this measurement wrong has immediate and costly consequences for your business:

  • The Cost of Overfilling: Too much product in the tube means unnecessary wastage, directly impacting your material costs and bottom line.
  • The Risk of Underfilling: If there is too little product, you face the significant threat of failing crucial quality audits, leading to costly recalls or market rejection.

Dosing is precision work, and MSD Ltd offers pumps and tube filling machine change parts specifically engineered to improve your filling accuracy and ensure every tube meets its specification exactly.

Beyond the measure, the flow matters profoundly. The delivery method required varies wildly depending on the product being filled. An incorrect product flow can lead to splashing or overflowing, contaminating the tube seal area and making a perfect closure impossible. Conversely, a flow that is too slow cripples your plant productivity. We offer sophisticated pumping systems and parts that coordinate precisely between the tube and the nozzle, improving product flow and guaranteeing a clean, reliable fill every time.

Viscosity and Rapid Changeovers

Two common challenges can halt an efficient production line: dealing with high-viscosity bulks and managing rapid changeovers.

For high-viscosity materials, such as heavy creams or gels, common problems revolve around slow fill speeds or a messy, stringy fill. These issues compromise the integrity of the product itself and the subsequent tube sealing process.

It is essential to be able to switch your production line quickly between product groups or colours. Our easy-to-use filling systems are designed specifically for this need. They embody the principles of being smaller, Lighter, Simpler, and featuring fewer wetted parts. This intelligent design reduces the time spent cleaning and setting up, paving the way for maximum uptime and productivity.
