Common questions

Machine range questions

How are sachet machines grouped?

The main groups are liquid and paste, powder, granule, multi-lane VFFS, compact VFFS and premade pouch equipment. Dosing technology is the key distinction.

Can a machine be customised?

Sachet dimensions, dosing range, product-contact parts, coding, inspection and line integration can often be configured around a defined application.

Are the listed speeds guaranteed?

Published speeds are starting points. Your confirmed output should be agreed against the actual product, film, sachet format and acceptance test.

Match the dosing system to the product before choosing the packer

Two products that share the same sachet size may need very different filling equipment. Use the table to identify the engineering questions that separate liquid, paste, powder, granule, stick-pack and premade-pouch projects.

Free-flowing liquidConfirm viscosity at filling temperature, foaming, chemical compatibility and required cut-off. Compare a single-lane VFFS route with a liquid sachet machine or multi-lane system.
Viscous paste or gelCheck pressure, stringing, particles, nozzle closure, product feed and cleaning. Start with the paste sachet filling machine guide.
Fine or cohesive powderMeasure bulk density and describe aeration, dust and flow. Auger selection, agitation and seal-area control are covered under powder sachet machines.
Free-flowing granuleState particle-size range, fragility, segregation and target weight. Compare weigh and multi-lane routes under granule sachet machines.
Narrow single-serve packDefine stick width, length, back-seal position, tear notch, print repeat and whether packs leave as strips or singles. Review stick pack machines.
Converted premium pouchProvide actual pouch samples and identify zipper, gusset, spout or shape. Compare the adjacent premade pouch route without treating it as the same process as roll-stock sachets.

Define accepted output

State the saleable packs required over a defined period and whether the figure includes normal film changes, product refilling, cleaning, coding checks and downstream handling. For multi-lane equipment, record both per-lane and total accepted output.

Define the evidence package

Request representative product and film trials, sample packs, dose records, seal and leak checks where relevant, and a run video showing the declared configuration. Use the trial and acceptance guide to make the evidence comparable.

Define the project around your product and pack

Turn your product and sachet details into a machine shortlist

Send one representative product description, the target dose, finished pack dimensions, film information and required accepted output. Include all formats you expect the machine to run so the shortlist reflects real changeover requirements.

Compare the complete working scope

Define what is included around the filling and sealing core

A model comparison is incomplete until the product feed, film tooling, coding, inspection, discharge handling and commissioning scope are defined. These interfaces can decide whether the quoted equipment arrives as a usable production system or as a base machine that still needs substantial project work.

Supply boundaryQuestions to settle before orderEvidence to request
Product supplyHow does product reach the dosing unit, what working level or pressure is required, and who supplies transfer pumps, hoppers, agitation, heating, extraction or level control?A line sketch, interface list and trial using the proposed feed condition rather than a manually maintained demonstration setup.
Film and toolingWhich forming parts, lane tooling, seal jaws, cutters, notch or perforation tools and reel-handling items are included for each approved format?A format matrix that identifies recipe changes, change parts, separate tooling and any format that has not been proven.
Coding and registrationWhat coder is proposed, where is the print zone, how is the registration mark read, and are code presence, readability or artwork position checked?An approved artwork or web drawing plus samples showing the code, seal, notch and cut in their intended positions.
Inspection and reject handlingWhich dose, seal, code, registration or metal-detection checks are included, and how are suspect packs segregated without mixing them with accepted output?A functional description and an acceptance test that deliberately demonstrates the agreed fault and reject response.
Discharge and downstreamDo packs leave individually, connected, perforated or in strips, and can conveyors, counters, collators, checkweighers or cartoners accept the presentation?A timed integrated run that includes the actual discharge arrangement rather than testing the packer in isolation.
Site and handoverWho provides utilities, guarding interfaces, installation, commissioning, operator training, spares, manuals and the records needed for the customer’s quality system?A responsibility schedule tied to the quotation and the trial and acceptance record.

Keep adjacent technologies in their proper scope

This website owns roll-stock sachet and stick-pack selection. Broader vertical bag machinery belongs on Form Fill and Seal UK, standalone powder dosing on Powder Fillers UK, and converted premade-pouch projects on Pouch Fillers UK.

Ask every supplier to mark exclusions

Use one controlled schedule and require included, optional, customer-supplied and excluded items to be identified. The sachet machine quotation checklist provides a practical structure for the comparison.

Configuration selector

Choose machine architecture after the operating case is defined

The same dose can be packed by different architectures. Use the product, format, campaign and accepted-output requirement to decide which route deserves a representative trial.

Small sachet packing machineUse when compact finished dimensions or a low dose drive the project. Confirm usable internal volume, seal protection, printed repeat and coding space.
Single-lane VFFSOne pack path can suit flexible campaigns, product development and formats where access and changeover matter more than parallel output.
Multi-lane sachet systemParallel lanes can support higher total output where demand is stable. Define lane pitch, individual-lane dosing and sampling, slit/cut layout and downstream flow.
Stick-pack systemA narrow back-seal format can suit single-serve presentation. Confirm dose geometry, longitudinal seal, lane layout, cut/perforation and strip handling.
Roll-stock VFFSForms and seals packs from a film web. Define reel, web, forming, seal pattern, registration, code and material runnability.
Premade pouch fillerUses converted pouches rather than forming from roll stock. Consider when shape, zipper, spout or premium presentation justifies separate pouch handling.

Compare lane count fairly

Use the same product, film, accepted-pack definition, operating period and line boundary on both quotations.

Select the dosing principle

Connect product behaviour and feed conditions to the pump, piston, auger, weighing or other route that needs testing.

Control the pack and film web

Give the converter and machine supplier one approved drawing for dimensions, seals, lane pitch, artwork and registration.

Machine-selection questions

Questions to answer before a machine model is shortlisted

Should the filler or the sachet format be selected first?

Select the product-dosing route and the finished pack as one system rather than treating either as an isolated first decision.

The dose must fit inside the usable pack volume without contaminating the seals, while the forming and sealing route must accommodate the dosing device, product drop and required headspace. A trial may show that the original pack size or filler assumption needs adjustment.

Follow the complete machine-selection sequence.

How does campaign length affect machine choice?

Campaign length changes the value of output, changeover time, cleaning access, start-up waste and redundancy.

A flexible single-lane machine may suit frequent short runs even when a multi-lane platform has greater theoretical capacity. For long stable campaigns, parallel lanes can be valuable if product feed and downstream handling sustain them.

Compare single-lane and multi-lane routes.

When is a modular line better than one integrated machine?

A modular line can be preferable when dosing, inspection or secondary packing must change independently, or when a fault in one function should not force replacement of the whole system.

An integrated machine can simplify footprint and controls, but the supply boundary, access, safe interfaces, spare strategy and future format changes still need to be defined. The right answer depends on the real process rather than a general preference.

Review line-integration decisions.

What evidence should accompany a machine recommendation?

A useful recommendation should identify the assumed product and film, dosing principle, pack geometry, line boundary, test conditions and any points that still need trials.

Reference images or headline speeds are not enough. Ask which sample, drawing, material data and acceptance checks support the proposed route and which claims remain conditional on testing.

Plan representative trials and acceptance.

Turn the answer into a testable machine brief

Send the product, finished sachet and operating conditions behind the question

Include representative product, dose range, sachet dimensions, film or artwork data, required accepted output and any cleaning, coding, inspection or line-integration requirements. Lancing Ltd can then assess the machine route against the real production case.
