Machine overview

Application and operating principle

The LU-FS06 is a single-lane auger-fed VFFS machine with a broad reference bag envelope. It can be configured for powdered food, nutritional, cosmetic and compatible industrial products where roll-stock packaging is appropriate.

Well suited to

  • Powdered ingredients and mixes
  • Protein and nutritional powders
  • Cleaning and chemical powders following compatibility review
  • Medium-format powder bags as well as larger sachets

Configure the line

Common options and engineering decisions

  • Screw conveyor or vacuum product transfer
  • Dust extraction and sealed hopper covers
  • Alternative auger tooling for different dose ranges
  • Gas flushing, coding and checkweighing integration

Performance validation

Confirm with product and film trials

Target output and dose repeatability are affected by product flow, environmental conditions, sachet length, film sealing window, changeover and quality-control settings. Supply representative product and production film for a meaningful test.

Any stated speed, range or accuracy is an indicative reference rather than a universal guarantee. Contract acceptance criteria should be documented for the final configuration.

Common questions

LU-FS06 questions

Why is the speed range so broad?

Output varies with dose size, bag length, powder settling, auger revolutions, sealing time and downstream inspection. A trial provides the most useful production estimate.

Is the fill range stated in millilitres or grams?

The reference specification is volumetric. Powder mass depends on bulk density, so the machine should be selected against actual target weights and product samples.

Can the same machine run several bag sizes?

Yes, within the machine envelope and with suitable forming sets, auger tooling and recipes. Changeover time should be considered during line design.

Your next step. Send a representative product sample, target dose, sachet drawing, film specification and required output. Lancing Ltd will confirm the practical machine configuration, trial plan and acceptance criteria for your application. See related machine information.

Production specification for LU-FS06

Use the LU-FS06 reference range as a configuration envelope, not a universal promise

The published volume, film-width and speed references cover a broad configuration range. A specific powder, dose and bag format will occupy only part of that envelope, and auger tooling, forming parts and product feed must be selected for the actual project.

Project questions to answer before final specification

  • What are the powder bulk density, flow, aeration, dust and normal variation between production batches?
  • Which dose and bag combinations are required, especially the smallest and largest formats that must be accepted on one machine?
  • Which auger, funnel and forming-set changes are acceptable, and how will those parts be stored and identified?
  • What compressed-air, electrical and product-feed arrangements are available at the installation site?
  • What cleaning, extraction, coding, inspection and downstream handling must be included in the quotation?

A broad format range increases the importance of change parts and trials

A screw selected for a larger dose may not provide the required control at the lowest dose, while a small auger can restrict output at the upper end. The full dose matrix should be reviewed before deciding how many auger, tube and funnel sets are required.

Film width, bag width and length also affect the forming set, product drop and sealing cycle. Performance should be demonstrated on the commercially important combinations rather than assuming that one successful midpoint format proves the entire range.

Dose extremesTrial the lowest and highest commercial doses using the relevant auger and normal product condition.
Format extremesRun the smallest and largest critical bag or sachet, including registered print, coding and tear features where required.
Powder feedReproduce the intended hopper refill or transfer system and observe dose stability before and after replenishment.
Cleaning and setupDemonstrate access, removal and refitting of product-contact and change parts and verify the next approved recipe.
Output recordMeasure accepted packs for each critical product-format combination and state all stops, rejects and inspection intervals.

Record the configuration that produced the result

A useful trial record identifies the product and film batches, dose setting, sachet dimensions, forming and sealing parts, coding setup, operating speed, stops, rejected packs and quality checks. Retained samples should be labelled so results can be traced to the lane, recipe or test condition where relevant.

The final quotation and acceptance schedule should distinguish indicative catalogue references from the values that will be demonstrated with the agreed product, pack and utilities.

Additional buyer questions

LU-FS06 project questions

Does the quoted 5–80 bags per minute apply to every product?

No. It is an indicative reference across configurations. Actual output depends on powder, dose, bag length, film, coding, sealing, feeding and quality-control conditions.

Can the machine change from powder to granules?

The dosing principle and product path may need substantial changes. Free-flowing or fragile granules can be better suited to weighing or another dosing system.

Why should the smallest dose be trialled separately?

Auger resolution, cutoff and product aeration can make the lowest dose the most demanding. A midpoint result does not prove the lower end of a wide range.

What should be included with compressed-air information?

State available pressure, flow, quality and connection point under operating conditions. The final requirement must be confirmed for the supplied configuration.

Define the project around your product and pack

Send the application data needed to assess the LU-FS06

Provide representative product, every required dose and sachet size, film details, accepted output, utilities, cleaning and inspection requirements. Lancing Ltd can then confirm whether the LU-FS06 is the correct starting point and define the trial scope.

Model-specific evidence schedule

Use the LU-FS06 trial to prove the declared powder and format envelope

A broad reference range can require different auger, forming and sealing configurations. Treat every commercial product/pack combination as part of the machine specification.
