Custom YMF4 Filling Machine: OEM and ODM Configuration Services
Standard filling machines work for standard products. But most liquid products are not standard — they have specific viscosities, particulate content, chemical characteristics, temperature requirements, and packaging formats that a one-size-fits-all filler cannot accommodate. The YMF4 platform is architected for configurability from the ground up, with five pump technologies, expandable filling heads, and a menu of integrated options that transform it from a standalone filler into a complete packaging workstation.

The YIMUPACK Custom Engineering Process
When you request a customized YMF4, here is the engineering workflow:
-
Step 1: Application Review Your product specifications, bottle dimensions, target throughput, facility constraints (voltage, air supply, floor space), and any regulatory requirements are reviewed by our application engineering team. We identify the pump type, number of heads, and options that match your production profile.
-
Step 2: Sample Testing (Recommended) You ship product samples and representative bottles to our Shanghai engineering center. Our R&D team configures a YMF4 test unit with your specified pump type and runs it through a 24-hour production simulation. We measure fill accuracy, cycle times, drip performance, and bottle handling. You receive a test report with data tables and video documentation. This step validates that the proposed configuration works with your actual product — not just a theoretical compatibility assessment.
-
Step 3: Engineering Approval and Production Based on sample test results (or direct specification if testing is waived), our engineering team finalizes the machine specification, generates mechanical and electrical drawings, and releases the order to production. Custom configurations typically require 25-35 working days from order confirmation to shipment.
-
Step 4: Factory Acceptance Testing Your completed machine runs a 24-hour test with accuracy measurements recorded at intervals. For custom configurations, we can perform this test using your product (if sufficient sample was provided) or a viscosity-matched simulant. The test report is included with your machine documentation.
Pump Type Customization
The single most important configuration decision is pump selection. The YMF4 chassis accepts all five pump types, and they can be mixed on a single machine (e.g., two heads with piston pumps for thick products, two with magnetic pumps for thin products).
Piston Pump (Standard Configuration)
- Viscosity: 1-50,000 cP
- Best for: General-purpose filling applications with medium to high viscosity
- Notable: Servo-driven with programmable fill profile; excellent accuracy across the full range
- Typical products: Honey, sauces, shampoos, creams, edible oils, syrups, lotions
Magnetic Drive Pump
- Viscosity: ≤1,000 cP
- Best for: Low-viscosity corrosive or expensive liquids requiring zero leakage
- Notable: Hermetically sealed — no shaft seal to wear, leak, or contaminate product
- Typical products: Perfumes, essential oils, alcohol, reagents, ophthalmic solutions, toners
Gear Pump
- Viscosity: 1-80,000 cP
- Best for: Clean (no particulates) products requiring consistent, pulse-free flow
- Notable: Excellent flow stability; simple mechanical design for easy maintenance
- Typical products: Lubricating oils, chocolate, liquid sugar, printing inks, resins, glycerin
Rotor Pump
- Viscosity: 1-1,000,000 cP
- Best for: High-viscosity products containing soft particulates
- Notable: Gentle lobed design transfers product without crushing suspended solids; sanitary design for food applications
- Typical products: Chunky pasta sauce, fruit preserves with whole berries, meat-based condiments, toothpaste, peanut butter with nut pieces
Gravity Flow (Self-Flowing)
- Viscosity: Water-thin liquids only
- Best for: Lowest-cost configuration for products that flow freely
- Notable: No pump mechanism — product flows by gravity from elevated hopper; zero additional cost
- Typical products: Water, thin beverages, alcohol, vinegar, reconstituted juices
Filling Head Expansion
The YMF4 ships standard with four filling heads. For higher throughput requirements, the machine can be configured with 6, 8, or 12 heads at the time of manufacture. Additional heads increase the bottles filled per cycle proportionally — a 12-head configuration processes three times the bottles per cycle of the 4-head base configuration.
Head count selection depends on your bottle diameter and conveyor width. The 12-head configuration requires a wider conveyor and is typically specified for bottles under 250ml where the bottle diameter allows 12 containers to fit across the filling zone.

Optional Add-On Modules
Automatic Capping Machine Integration Add an inline automatic capping machine after the filling station to create a fill-and-cap workstation. YIMUPACK cappers handle screw caps, pump dispensers, trigger spray heads, and press-on lids. The capper shares the YMF4's conveyor and control logic, eliminating synchronization issues between separate machines.
Labeling Machine Integration Add YIMUPACK automatic labeling — wrap-around for round bottles, front-and-back for flat/oval bottles — to complete the fill-cap-label workflow on a single integrated line.
Ink-Jet Printer / Hot Stamp Coder Print batch numbers, production dates, expiration dates, and lot codes on bottles inline. Mounted on the conveyor after the filling station, before or after capping depending on print surface.
Feeding and Collecting Turntables Semi-automate bottle loading and unloading with rotary accumulation tables. Bottles are loaded onto the feeding turntable in bulk and automatically singulated onto the conveyor. Filled bottles accumulate on the collecting turntable for manual or automated packing.
Side-Belt Clamping Conveyor For tall, narrow-based, or irregularly shaped bottles that may tip on a standard flat-belt conveyor. Side belts grip the bottle from both sides through the filling zone for positive stability.
Heated Hopper with PID Control For products that are solid or too viscous at room temperature. The hopper jacket circulates heated fluid with PID temperature control maintaining setpoint ±1°C. The product path (pump, hoses, nozzles) can be heat-traced for products that must remain above ambient temperature throughout the filling process.
Clean-in-Place (CIP) System Automated wash/rinse cycle for the complete product path. Programmable sequences control wash solution circulation, dwell time, rinse water flow, and air blow. The cycle is documented in the PLC for cleaning validation records.
UV-C Sterilization Module Integrated UV-C lamps in the filling zone enclosure for aseptic filling applications. Reduces microbial load in the filling environment for products requiring extended shelf life without preservatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know which pump type is right for my product?
A: The primary decision factors are viscosity (measured in cP or observed flow behavior), particulate content (none, soft, hard, size), chemical characteristics (corrosive, solvent-based, reactive with metals), and product value (higher value = stronger case for magnetic drive to eliminate drip losses). Our application engineers will guide this decision during the initial consultation. If there is any uncertainty, the sample testing service at our Shanghai engineering center provides definitive validation — we test your product on your recommended pump type and measure the results.
Q: Can YIMUPACK build a completely custom machine that is not based on the standard YMF4 platform?
A: Yes. Our ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) service handles projects requiring significant engineering beyond the YMF4's standard configurability. Examples include: machines for container formats not compatible with the standard conveyor (aerosol cans, collapsible tubes, syringes), integration with customer-specified third-party equipment (specific cappers, labelers, checkweighers), cleanroom-compatible configurations with full stainless steel enclosures, and explosion-proof configurations for flammable product filling. ODM projects begin with a detailed requirements document and proceed through a collaborative engineering process with milestone reviews.
Q: Can I order a YMF4 with two different pump types on the same machine?
A: Yes. A mixed-pump configuration allows simultaneous filling of different products (e.g., a two-part product where each component is dispensed into the same bottle from different pumps) or production flexibility (running piston pump heads for viscous products on one shift and magnetic drive heads for thin products on the next). Our engineering team will design the manifold and control configuration for your specific mixed-pump requirements.
Q: What is the process and cost for sample testing at your Shanghai facility?
A: Sample testing is provided at no charge for qualified buyers. Process: (1) Contact our sales team to arrange the test and receive shipping instructions. (2) Ship approximately 5-10 liters of your product and 50-100 representative bottles to our Shanghai engineering center. (3) Our R&D team configures a YMF4 test unit for your product and runs a 24-hour production simulation. (4) You receive a comprehensive test report including fill accuracy data (measured weight per bottle across the test duration), cycle time measurements, bottle handling video, and any observations or recommendations. Sample testing typically adds 3-5 days to the pre-production timeline.
Q: What is YIMUPACK's experience with custom projects for international markets?
A: YIMUPACK has completed over 10,000 projects across 80+ countries in 20+ years of operation. Our custom engineering portfolio includes machines configured for unique products (traditional medicine pastes, molten candle wax, high-foam detergents). Our 68+ team and 10-20 R&D engineers ensure that each custom project receives dedicated engineering attention.
Q: How does ordering a custom YMF4 affect the warranty and after-sales support?
A: Custom-configured YMF4 machines carry the same 2-year warranty on core electronic and mechanical components as standard configurations. Custom-engineered elements (specialized pump manifolds, custom conveyor sections, unique control logic) are warranted for 12 months. The 7×24 technical support, remote diagnostics, and spare parts service apply equally to standard and custom machines. Custom machines include detailed as-built documentation (electrical schematics, pneumatic diagrams, PLC program backup) specific to your machine's configuration.
Q: Can YIMUPACK provide a complete turnkey packaging line rather than just the YMF4 filler?
A: Yes. As a full-line packaging equipment manufacturer with products including filling machines, capping machines, labeling machines, ink-jet printers, and conveying systems, YIMUPACK designs and delivers complete integrated packaging lines. An integrated line from a single manufacturer eliminates the interface issues, control synchronization problems, and multi-vendor warranty disputes that occur when equipment from different suppliers is combined. We provide a single point of contact for line design, commissioning, and after-sales support.
Q: What is the typical lead time for custom YMF4 configurations?
A: Standard-configuration orders ship in 15-25 working days. Custom configurations (different pump types, additional filling heads, integration with capping/labeling) typically ship in 25-35 working days. Highly customized ODM projects with significant engineering content require 35-60 working days depending on complexity. We recommend contacting our sales team 60-90 days before your target delivery date to allow time for application review, sample testing, and production scheduling.
