説明
Filling by hand is a decision you make once a week. Small producers of honey, oil, sauce or lotion reach a volume where a jug and a funnel stop being quaint and start being a bottleneck. The cost of that bottleneck is not the labour. It is the inconsistency: 480ml in one jar, 512 in the next, a drip down every label, and a batch record that no longer matches the shelf.
The A02 solves that with mechanics rather than software. A 10 to 11.5 litre stainless hopper feeds a piston that displaces an exact volume from 5ml to 50ml or 5ml to 100ml depending on the model, and the pneumatic variant runs from an external 500W compressor with a foot pedal so both hands stay on the bottles. The manual variant uses a hand lever with the same displacement accuracy for producers who do not want compressed air in the room.
Every part that contacts the product is 304 stainless or food-grade material, which matters for anything that will be sold as food or cosmetics. The nozzle is designed to resist dripping at the end of the stroke, and the hopper lid keeps dust and insects out between runs. Changing fill volume is a mechanical adjustment on the piston rather than a menu dive, so a producer switching from a 30ml sample to a 250ml bottle does not need to reprogram anything.
Capacity lands where small batch production lives: several hundred bottles an hour with the pneumatic model in experienced hands, limited mainly by how fast bottles can be swapped. That is enough to turn a weekend cottage operation into a weekly production schedule, and it is the reason this class of filler shows up in apiaries, cosmetics workshops and small sauce kitchens rather than only in factories.
Consistency is what turns a batch into a brand.
What the Dosing Bench Actually Does
- ✦ 5 to 50ml and 5 to 100ml fill ranges across manual and pneumatic variants, set by mechanical piston adjustment.
- ✦ 10 to 11.5 litre stainless hopper with a lid that keeps dust and insects out between runs.
- ✦ Foot-pedal pneumatic operation from an external 500W compressor, leaving both hands free for bottle handling.
- ✦ 304 stainless and food-grade contact parts for honey, oil, sauce, lotion and essence.
- ✦ Drip-resistant nozzle that keeps product off labels and off the bench between fills.
- ✦ Volumetric piston repeatability so every jar in a batch carries the same declared weight.
- ✦ Bench-scale footprint that fits a small production kitchen without a dedicated filling line.

Where It Belongs
Apiaries bottle honey in runs that a jug cannot keep up with, and the 100ml range covers both sample jars and retail sizes. Cosmetics workshops filling serums and lotions need the 304 contact surfaces for compliance as much as for hygiene. Small sauce and condiment producers use the pneumatic model to hold a consistent declared volume across a batch, which is the difference between a compliant label and a recall. Market gardeners bottling cold-pressed oil and small breweries filling tinctures and syrups round out the typical buyer list, along with anyone who has outgrown a funnel and a steady hand.
Questions Buyers Ask Before Ordering
Q: Do I need a compressor for the pneumatic model?
A: Yes, an external 500W air compressor is required, and it is not included. If you do not already run compressed air in the workspace, the manual variant delivers the same fill accuracy with a hand lever and no air line.
Q: Will it handle honey straight from the bucket?
A: Yes for honey and oils that flow. Very thick pastes and set honey that will not pour are outside the design range. Warming crystallised honey to a free-flowing consistency before filling is standard practice regardless of the machine.
Q: How accurate is the fill volume?
A: The piston is volumetric, so repeatability is within a millilitre or so once set and bled. Product viscosity affects the first few strokes after a change, so run two or three into a waste container before starting a batch.
Q: How long does cleaning take between products?
A: The hopper and nozzle assembly come apart without tools, and a warm water flush through the piston is usually enough for water-based products. Oils need a food-safe detergent cycle. Budget twenty minutes between different products and under five between batches of the same one.
Q: Can it fill bottles with narrow necks?
A: The nozzle fits standard narrow-neck bottles, and the stroke depth is adjustable so the tip sits inside the neck rather than above it. Very small orifice dropper bottles are better filled with a dedicated needle nozzle.
Q: What throughput should I expect?
A: Several hundred fills an hour with the pneumatic model, limited by how quickly bottles can be swapped. The manual variant runs roughly half that pace, which is usually enough below a few thousand units a month.
