Our Take: Simple & Reliable Filling for Free-Flowing Liquids
If you are filling low-viscosity, thin liquids—from spirits and oils to household cleaners—gravity filling is often the smartest, most cost-effective path to automation. We love Apex’s gravity fillers because they optimize simple, elegant designs at a more affordable price compared to other filling technologies.
Why we recommend the Apex Series:
Versatile Scalability: This series is designed to grow with you. The Economy Filler is the perfect entry-level solution, offering a low-cost, semi-automatic starting point with up to four fill heads that can be upgraded to fully auto. For higher-volume lines, the Pro Series serves as the upgraded industrial workhorse, capable of scaling up to 16 fill heads to handle significant production demands.
Simple, Durable Design: Minimal moving parts and a user-friendly touch screen interface.
Precision and Cleanliness: The volumetric time-based filling method produces repeatable, accurate results across a wide variety of applications, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and even corrosive environments.

Upstream Automation
The Apex Gravity filler can be loaded by hand with a rotary table or automatically by a depalletizer or other automated processes.
Infeed
Downstream Automation
The Apex Gravity Filler can be the only automated step in your packaging line, or can feed directly into a cap applicator/sealer. Many businesses start automated fillers as a standalone, then add automation downstream as they grow. The design allows for fast, seamless transition to the next stage of packaging.
Cap Application / Tightening
Label Application
Some producers opt to fill automatically, cap manually or with a handheld cap tightener, then hand-transfer onto an automated label applicator. This enables a high level of automation at an affordable price, while bypassing complications caused from multiple container and lid shapes/sizes.
