3. How do I stop drips (stringing) when filling high-viscosity industrial oils? Anti-drip solutions for motor oil & lubricants | NEOSTARPACK
Yes—high-viscosity oils (e.g., motor oil, industrial lubricants, gear oil) are prone to drips and stringing after shut-off. The fix is an anti-drip filling nozzle with suck-back (check-valve) design, paired with the right pump technology and optimized speed/temperature settings. NEOSTARPACK supplies customized industrial oil filling machines engineered to your oil’s viscosity and target throughput to keep fills clean and accurate.
Why do high-viscosity oils drip or string?
• Slow flow & high surface tension: The high surface tension prevents a clean cut-off, causing a thin strand to form.
• Non-optimized nozzle/tubing: General-purpose liquid nozzles often leave residual droplets.
• Poor parameter control: Excess end-of-cycle speed, slow valve response, or big temperature swings all increase dripping.
NEOSTARPACK: purpose-built solutions for industrial oil filling
Designed for motor oil, gear oil, and industrial lubricants, our anti-drip fillers combine advanced check-valve/suck-back technology with precise motion control to suppress stringing while maintaining speed and accuracy.
Key features:
•Anti-drip filling nozzle with suckback (check-valve) cut-off for instant liquid column separation.
•Matched pump technologies
o Servo piston filler: Ideal for motor and gear oils where volumetric accuracy is critical.
o Rotor pump: Stable for sustained handling of high-viscosity oils with gentle shear.
•Multiple nozzle diameters for narrow necks and large cans, minimizing stringing and wall wetting (bottom-up/lift filling available).
•Temperature control & heating: Jacketed/constant-temperature tanks and lines to stabilize viscosity and improve clean cut-off.
•Precision servo control: Programmable fill profiles (segment speeds) and valve timing for consistent fills.
•Hygienic, durable materials: SUS304/316 stainless-steel product-contact parts suitable for industrial oils.
•Easy cleaning & maintenance: Quick-release piping shortens changeover and CIP-style cleaning time.
Proven results:
With the correct machine configuration and parameters, drips and stringing are greatly reduced. Typical fill accuracy is ±0.5% to ±1.0% (varies by oil and conditions).
Suitable products:
• Automotive & motorcycle motor oil, gear oil, transmission oil
• Industrial lubricants, hydraulic oil, rust preventive oil
• Chemical and other industrial oils
How to select the right filler for your oil?
1. Product properties: Viscosity range; whether gentle heating is acceptable.
2. Container & size: From 100 mL small bottles up to 5 L cans; tinplate or HDPE.
3. Throughput target: Bottles per minute; single-head/multi-head; semi-automatic or fully automatic line.
4. Accuracy requirement: Acceptable error band/weight or volume tolerance.
5. Line integration: Bottle unscrambling → filling → capping → labeling → coding → cartoning.。
Share the above details and the NEOSTARPACK engineering team will propose the optimal high-viscosity oil filling solution and capacity upgrade plan for your plant.
