Correct dosing affects the whole process
Precise, uniform filling with even vacuum
The dosed quantity, the fill level and the air left in the container determine the quality of the pack: the liquid penetration into the product, the vacuum achieved at closing and the final presentation. Uneven dosing means rejects, extra checks and non-compliance risk.
Emerito solutions — a manufacturer with over 60 years of experience in canning packaging lines — are dedicated to wide-mouth jars and bottles with a metal cap (twist-off and PT). For other containers, from plastic and bottles to pails or pouches, we complete the range with benchtop and semi-automatic dosing solutions.
The Imark Sistem approach: we analyse the product (density, particles, temperature), the container, the line speed and the hygiene requirements, then identify the right dosing technology and the integration with the rest of the packaging line.
Precise filling
Controlled quantity and level, for consistent portions and fewer rejects.
Uniform filling
Constant fill level, the same in every pack, regardless of the amount of solid product inside.
Even vacuum at closing
Filling under vacuum removes the air between products and helps the liquid penetrate.
Adapted to the product
From fluid liquids to viscous sauces with particles, of high or low density.
Hygiene and cleaning
CIP cleaning or self-cleaning, for the sanitary requirements of the canning industry.
Speed on the line
Linear and rotary versions, from small to large production.
Dosing technologies
Dosers by product and application type
Each product behaves differently when filling. We choose the technology by the product state — liquid, sauce, cream, powder, granules or solid — and by container, speed and hygiene requirements.

Covering liquids
Dosers for liquids
Filling covering liquids — oil, vinegar, brine, water — with precise fill-level control.
Liquids · level control
Emerito level-control doser
Fills the liquid to a set level. Because the liquid reaches the same level regardless of how much solid product is in the container, the fill level stays constant and the vacuum achieved at closing is uniform — especially useful for canned tuna in oil, where penetration time matters. No spillage outside the container and no recirculation, so the liquid stays fresh and clean. Fibre-optic signal sensors. Linear and rotary versions.
- Technology
- level control
- Versions
- linear (Lineal T+N) and rotary (Rota+N)
- Output
- up to 50 / 100 containers/min (model-dependent)
- Liquids
- oil, vinegar, brine, water
- Advantages

Liquids · under vacuum (rotary)
Emerito under-vacuum doser
On the same machine, it removes the air trapped between the solid products in the container, then fills the liquid under controlled vacuum. The liquid penetrates the spaces between products (canned fish, meat or vegetables), with exact fill-level control and no overflow, for an even vacuum in every container. Rotary versions considerably increase filling speed.

Technical information
Frequently asked questions about dosing and filling
Which dosing technology suits me?
It depends on the product state (solid, liquid or viscous sauce), density, the presence of particles, the container, the line speed and hygiene requirements. We recommend an application assessment before choosing the configuration.
What is the difference between overflow and volumetric filling?
Overflow fills to a set level — ideal for covering liquids and a constant fill level. Volumetric dosing (piston or flowmeter) delivers an exact quantity of product, regardless of density — suitable for sauces, creams and viscous products.
What is under-vacuum filling and when is it useful?
It removes the air trapped between the solid products, then fills the liquid under vacuum, for better penetration and an even vacuum in every container. It is especially useful for canned fish, meat or vegetables.
Can I dose sauces with particles?
Yes. Volumetric piston dosers accept mixtures with solid particles, as long as the mixture is homogeneous.
Do the dosers have CIP cleaning?
Yes, they connect to a central CIP station. Where there isn’t one, some models have an automatic self-cleaning cycle for the tank and the product-contact parts.
Linear or rotary?
Rotary versions increase the speed for large production; linear ones suit small and medium production and smaller installation spaces.
Can I increase capacity later?
On some piston dosers, additional filling heads can be added to increase capacity, without buying a new machine.
How do I choose the right model?
We start from the product, the container, the line speed and the hygiene requirements. Imark Sistem recommends the right solution and, where needed, testing on the real product.
