The Minipiston 8 scales the piston-filling platform down to smaller fill volumes without giving up automation — 8 miniature pistons fill high-viscosity liquid products with gating cylinders that automatically control how bottles move through the machine.

It's the right fit when your fill volumes are too small for the standard PI3300 platform but you still need full automatic operation rather than a semi-automatic machine. Also available in a 4-piston configuration (MiniPiston 4) for lower-volume runs.
