Apex Overflow Filler
Versatile automated filling with superior aesthetics on your finished product
Our Take: The Secret to a Perfect "Retail-Ready" Look
If you are packaging in transparent containers—especially glass where internal volumes can vary slightly—the Apex Overflow Series is the industry standard. While gravity fillers focus on volume, overflow fillers focus on the visual fill level. We recommend this system for thin to medium-viscosity products, particularly those that tend to foam during the filling process.
Why we recommend the Apex Overflow Series:
Visual Consistency: By filling to a specific level rather than a set volume, this machine ensures every bottle looks exactly the same on the retail shelf, regardless of minor variations in the container's glass thickness or shape.
Superior Foam Control: The overflow nozzle design is a lifesaver for "foamy" products. It constantly recirculates the product back to the reservoir, eliminating air bubbles and ensuring a clean, bubble-free fill every single time.
Economical Versatility: Just like the gravity line, the Economy Overflow is an incredibly cost-friendly entry point. It can be set up as a semi-automatic unit or fully automated with up to four fill heads. For high-speed lines, the Pro Series scales up to handle much higher volumes with the same level of precision.
Maintenance-Free Mindset: Apex keeps the design simple. With a heavy-duty 304 stainless steel frame and a user-friendly touch screen, there are no over-engineered components to break down. It’s a rugged, American-made machine that’s easy to clean and even easier to operate.
The Bottom Line: If your brand identity relies on a consistent, professional look in clear bottles—or if you're struggling with foam—the Apex Overflow is the smartest move you can make. It’s a specialized solution that provides a high-end "cosmetic fill" without the high-end price tag.
Overview: The Apex Economy Automatic Overflow Filler is a highly versatile, entry-level automatic filling solution designed for thin to medium-viscosity liquids, specifically those that are foamy by nature. By filling to a specific visual level rather than a set volume, this system ensures a consistent "cosmetic fill" across all containers—making it the ideal choice for transparent glass or plastic bottles where internal volumes may vary slightly.
Ideal for small to mid-scale production, the Economy Overflow Filler offers professional shelf appeal, simple tool-free operation, and a rugged design that handles challenging liquids with ease.

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 Overflow 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.
