Streamline Your Filling Machine Start-up with Our Comprehensive Service and Support

June 9, 2025

Investing in new filling equipment is a significant step for any production facility. At Laub/Hunt, we understand that a successful start-up is critical for your operational efficiency and productivity. That’s why our filling machine contracts include a dedicated Service Call and Start-up Policy designed to get your systems running smoothly from day one.

What’s Included in Our Start-up Service

When you purchase a new filling machine, we include a specific amount of In-Plant Time for commissioning and training. This time is factored into the overall cost of the machine, so you won’t face unexpected charges for your initial training and start-up support.

Here’s how it works:

  • In-Plant Time covers the hands-on commissioning and operator training needed to get your new equipment up and running.
  • The number of days provided depends on the cost and complexity of your specific project.
  • These days are included at no extra charge — giving you the confidence to launch your production line efficiently.

Please note that any unused time is non-refundable and cannot be carried over to future service calls. If you require additional days beyond the included service, they will be billed at our standard Service Call rates.

What You’re Responsible For

While we cover the labor and expertise, the Customer is responsible for all travel and living expenses associated with the Service Call or Start-up Trip. We always aim to minimize these costs by booking coach airfare and using corporate hotel rates wherever possible. To help us secure the best rates, we recommend providing at least two weeks’ notice before scheduling your trip.

Why Choose Us for Your Filling Machine Start-up?

  • Expert Technicians: Our experienced team ensures your equipment is set up to run at peak performance.
  • Comprehensive Training: We train your operators to handle the equipment with confidence and efficiency.
  • Cost Transparency: We clearly outline travel and accommodation costs, so there are no surprises.

Let’s Get Started!

MASSFlow and MAGFlow Filling Technologie
March 18, 2026
The primary differences between MASSFlow and MAGFlow filling technologies lie in the type of meter used, their accuracy, and the specific products they are engineered to handle. 1. Meter Technology and Accuracy ● MASSFlow: This technology utilizes Coriolis flowmeters (typically Endress+Hauser DosiMass or Promass F models). It is highly accurate, consistently delivering a fill accuracy of +/- 0.25% (+/- 1/4 of 1%). ● MAGFlow: This technology uses magnetic flowmeters (specifically Endress+Hauser DosiMag models). While some applications for specific chemicals list an accuracy of +/- 0.25%, the general specification for MAGFlow systems is often cited at +/- 0.5% (+/- 1/2 of 1%) throughout the fill range. 2. Product Suitability ● MASSFlow Applications: These systems are extremely versatile and can handle a vast range of viscosities. They are used for motor oils, shampoos, conditioners, solvent-based stains, polyurethanes, and food products like canola or soybean oil. They are even capable of filling heavy materials like asphalt at temperatures up to 350°F. ● MAGFlow Applications: MAGFlow is specifically designed for conductive liquids . It is the preferred technology for aqueous, foamy, and bleach-based household cleaners or car wash products. 3. Operational Requirements and Versatility ● MAGFlow Constraints: For maximum accuracy, MAGFlow requires liquids to be supplied at a constant density, pressure, and temperature . The product must also be free of entrained air or emulsified gases, which can vary the apparent density and affect the meter reading. ● MASSFlow Versatility: MASSFlow systems allow for individual head calibration via the HMI (Human Machine Interface) and can store pre-programmed "recipes" for over 100 different product/bottle combinations. They are best suited for filling volumes ranging from 0.5 to 128 oz. Both systems are often housed on similar frames (T304 or T316 Stainless Steel) and feature "No Bottle, No Fill" nozzle technology to prevent waste. Contact us for more information.
