FMO
Ointment dosing & filling apparatus for free flowing viscous materials.
The FMO Ointment Dosing & Filling Apparatus is a compact, precise, and versatile system for dosing and filling free-flowing viscous products. It is designed for creams, ointments, pastes, and similar formulations that remain flowable at room temperature.
Ideal for R&D, pilot-scale work, and small-batch production, the FMO provides accurate volumetric dosing into a wide range of packaging formats, including tubes, jars, bottles, and plastic containers. Its piston-pump technology ensures reliable fill volumes, while the practical design supports fast setup, easy cleaning, and efficient maintenance.
Key Features
- Piston-pump volumetric dosing system
- Designed for creams, ointments, and free-flowing pastes
- Adjustable standard dosing volume of 50–200 mL per stroke
- Optional smaller dosing piston with a 10–100 mL per stroke range
- Drip-free and airless dosing, particularly suitable for tube filling
- Interchangeable nozzles for different product viscosities and filling formats
- Quick removal of hopper and pump for service and sterilization
- Compact, space-saving construction
- Direct connection to the UAM Universal Motor Drive
- Smooth adjustment of production rate
- GMP-compliant, sterilizable, corrosion-resistant product-contact parts
Flexible Filling Options
The FMO can be configured with optional nozzles in 2, 4, 6, or 8 mm diameters, each with a standard 125 mm orifice length. This allows the system to be adapted to the flow characteristics of different creams, ointments, and paste formulations.
An optional foot pedal is also available for convenient start/stop control during filling operations.
