Viscous product transfer
Carry the cooked batch to the filler without losing its texture.
Jam filling & closing interface for jam production
Prove the package with the product the line actually makes.
Input → output
Incoming
Accepted jam delivered within the specified filling conditions.
Handover
Filled and closed jars, pails or pouches ready for the validated next step.
Product path
Match dosing method, nozzles and valves to viscosity, stringing and fruit particles. Test fill accuracy and particle distribution across the beginning and end of a batch.
Package interface
Record container geometry, closure or seal design, headspace and allowable thermal conditions. Glass jars, lined pails and flexible pouches do not share one closure or cooling specification.
Acceptance
Check mass or volume basis, seal/closure integrity, stoppage behaviour, product retention and the downstream handling rate. Required thermal treatment belongs to the approved product-and-pack process.

Cleaning, access and operating limits
Plan nozzle and valve inspection, product recovery, splash control and cleaning of the package-contact area.
A filler speed or hot-fill label alone does not validate preservation.

Batch cleaning & changeover
Include cleanability in the cycle and the equipment layout.
