Meeting the Growing Demand for Ready-to-Eat Foods with High-Speed Tub Filling

In today’s fast-paced world, consumer demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products is at an all-time high. Whether it's creamy hummus, layered desserts, healthy grain bowls, or savoury dips, convenience is king. But with this demand comes a challenge for manufacturers: how to efficiently and hygienically package high volumes of products in a wide range of tub formats—without compromising on speed, accuracy, or quality.

At Filltech, we specialise in high-speed tub filling machines designed specifically to meet the growing needs of the RTE sector. Here's how our technology helps food producers scale with confidence and efficiency.


Speed Meets Flexibility

Our servo-driven linear and rotary tub fillers are built for high-speed performance depending on product type and packaging size. But speed alone isn't enough. What sets Filltech machines apart is flexibility:

  • Fill a wide variety of tub shapes and sizes (round, square, multi-compartment)

  • Switch easily between product types with quick-change tooling

  • Handle both liquid and semi-solid products, from yogurts and custards to chunky salads and dips


Tailored for Ready-to-Eat Food Applications

RTE products present unique challenges: variable viscosities, inclusions like granola or herbs, and stringent hygiene requirements. Our tub fillers are engineered to meet these demands:

  • Multiple filling heads for multi-layer or dual-component products

  • Clean-in-place (CIP) and Ultra-clean filling to meet food safety standards

  • Gentle product handling systems to maintain texture and visual appeal

Whether you're filling a creamy dessert or a protein-packed meal, Filltech ensures consistency in weight, fill level, and presentation—key to consumer satisfaction and brand trust.


Modular Design for Scalable Production

From SMEs to large-scale food manufacturers, Filltech’s modular machines grow with your business. Add-on features include:

  • Foil sealing and snap-on lid application

  • Integrated date coding and labelling

  • End-of-line solutions such as tray & case packers, and robotic palletisers

This plug-and-play flexibility helps businesses respond to new trends, launch new SKUs faster, and maintain high OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
