Sauce and jam filling line: price and composition
Sauces, ketchup, mayonnaise and jams are viscous products with inclusions, often hot-filled. The budget is determined by the cooking-blending section, doser type and sterilization mode, not just filler speed.

What makes up a sauce line budget
| Budget item | What is included | What affects cost |
|---|---|---|
| Cooking-blending section | Kettles, agitators, homogenizer, deaerator, viscous-media pumps | Recipe, viscosity, presence of pieces |
| Filling | Piston or gravimetric filler, heated product line | Filling temperature and dose range |
| Capping | Twist-off, flip-top, induction sealing, vacuum | Packaging type: glass, PET, doypack |
| Stabilization | Pasteurization, cooling, pH control | Target shelf life |
| Decoration and packaging | Labeling, marking, cartoning, palletizing | Retail requirements |
Sauces and jams are about viscosity and pieces. Cost is determined by the cooking section, doser type and sterilization mode, not just the number of filling posts.
How we calculate a sauce/jam filling section
- Step 1Analyze product rheology
Viscosity at filling temperature, presence of pieces, fibers and seeds. This determines the piston doser, nozzle diameter and valve design.
- Step 2Design the cooking section
Vacuum evaporator or cooking kettle with scraper agitator, deaeration, homogenizer, pumps for viscous media.
- Step 3Choose preservation mode
Hot fill with capping and jar inversion, pasteurization or autoclave. We calculate target shelf life and packaging requirements.
- Step 4Select packaging and capping
Glass jar twist-off, PET, doypack or portion stick. Each packaging type is its own capping unit and line logistics.
- Step 5Form estimate and cleaning
Equipment, CIP for viscous products, labeling and date coding, packaging, installation, commissioning and recipe trials at launch.
Questions about sauce and jam filling
Piston for stable recipes, gravimetric for wide range and different densities. Heated product line is mandatory for hot fill.
Yes. Viscous products and fats require alkaline and acid cleaning with heating, otherwise microbiology and previous batch residues grow quickly.
Yes, if packaging and viscosity range match. Different formats give changeover from 40 minutes to a couple of hours — we include this in the load calculation.
