Filling systems for adhesives
Reliable filling processes for viscous and adhesive products
A wide range of liquid to pasty products are processed and filled in the adhesives industry, including water- or solvent-based adhesives, reactive systems, silicones, and other specialty adhesives. Depending on the application, these products can differ significantly in viscosity, flow and adhesion behavior, tendency to string, and requirements for clean and safe handling.
In day-to-day production, filling processes must operate precisely, cleanly, and in a controlled manner – even when products, batches, fill volumes, or containers change. FRICKE develops filling systems tailored to product characteristics, containers, fill volumes, production environments, safety requirements, and the desired level of automation.
Typical requirements for adhesives
- Precise filling of liquid to pasty adhesives
- Clean product handling for adhesive products or materials prone to stringing
- Reliable processes when products or batches change
- Flexible system concepts for different containers and fill volumes
- Consideration of cleaning and safety requirements
- Integration into existing production and packaging processes
FRICKE solutions for adhesives
The focus is on the precise and reliable filling of liquid to paste-like adhesives. When designing systems, FRICKE takes into account the product’s behavior, viscosity, flow and adhesion properties, tendency to form strings, the intended containers and fill volumes, the production environment, cleaning requirements, and the desired level of automation.
This results in customized system designs—ranging from flexible single-station solutions to automated filling lines—that can be integrated into existing production and packaging processes.
Depending on the application, different valve designs and swiveling drip catchers can be used to fill sticky or stringy products in a controlled and clean manner.
For applications involving solvent-based or other flammable adhesives, FRICKE filling systems can also be designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.

Here, we answer frequently asked questions about adhesives, viscous products and materials prone to stringing, containers, product changeovers, and integration into existing production processes.
FRICKE filling systems can be designed for a wide range of liquid to pasty adhesives, including water- or solvent-based adhesives, reactive systems, silicones, and other specialty adhesives. The specific solution depends on the product characteristics, viscosity, flow and adhesion properties, tendency to form strings, the intended containers and fill volumes, the production environment, safety requirements, and the desired level of automation.
Yes. FRICKE filling systems can be tailored to viscous, sticky, or stringy media, depending on the application. Among other things, the product feed, valve design, and drip catcher can be adapted to the specific product characteristics. The appropriate design depends on the viscosity, flow and adhesion characteristics, tendency to form strings, the intended containers and fill volumes, the production environment, and the desired filling method.
Yes. FRICKE filling systems can be designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, for example when filling solvent-based or other flammable adhesives. Depending on the product, process environment, and hazardous area classification, FRICKE takes into account the necessary explosion protection measures in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. The specific system design is based on the requirements of the respective application.
