Machine overview

Application and operating principle

The LUFS200D1 is a compact vertical form fill and seal platform configured for small liquid and semi-liquid sachets. Roll stock is formed into a sachet, a piston pump meters the product, and the machine closes and cuts the pack in one automatic sequence.

Well suited to

  • Single-serve sauce and condiment sachets
  • Hotel, catering and promotional sample packs
  • Flowable cosmetic and personal-care samples
  • Detergent gels and compatible non-food liquids

Common options and engineering decisions

  • Heated product hopper for temperature-sensitive flow properties
  • Alternative seal formats and sachet dimensions
  • Date, batch or lot coding integration
  • Product-contact material and gasket selection following compatibility review

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

LUFS200D1 questions

Can the machine fill products containing particles?

Small suspended particles may be possible, but valve size, piston geometry and product consistency must be reviewed. A representative product trial is recommended.

Is 5–100 ml a fixed range?

It is the recommended reference range for this configuration. The final usable range depends on piston size, product viscosity, sachet dimensions and required accuracy.

Which films can be used?

The film must be heat-sealable and compatible with the product, fill temperature and required shelf life. Film reels should be tested on the final machine specification.

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 LUFS200D1

Assess the LUFS200D1 as a complete small-dose liquid sachet system

The published 5–100 ml range is a useful starting reference, but the practical configuration depends on piston size, product behaviour, sachet geometry and the required verification method. The product path, nozzle and sealing sequence should be proved together.

Project questions to answer before final specification

  • What is the viscosity at the lowest and highest filling temperature, and does the product foam, string, separate or contain particles?
  • Which nominal doses and tolerances are required, and will production checks be made by weight, volume or another agreed method?
  • Which back-, three-side- or four-side-seal sachets are required, including width, length, headspace, tear notch and cut pattern?
  • What film laminate, print repeat, eye mark and coding position will be used on the production reel?
  • How often will product, flavour, colour or format change, and what cleaning access and change parts are expected?

Piston, valve and nozzle selection control the result

A piston system meters a defined displacement, but product compressibility, entrained air, valve response and temperature can change the delivered quantity. The selected piston and valve must also pass any suspended particles without blockage or inconsistent closure.

For sauces, syrups and gels, the nozzle should stop the product cleanly before the cross seal closes. Drip, tail and splash behaviour should be observed at the fastest intended condition and after normal stops, because seal contamination may appear only when the cycle is disturbed.

Dose verificationSample the lowest, typical and highest required doses using the agreed test method. Record product temperature and any hopper agitation or heating used.
Sachet and filmRun every critical seal style and width with production-representative laminate, registered print, tear notch and coding where required.
Seal integrityInspect for product in the seal, wrinkles, channel leaks and cut position, then apply the pack owner’s agreed integrity or leak-test method.
ChangeoverDemonstrate the declared recipe and change-part sequence and confirm that the machine returns to an approved setting.
Accepted outputMeasure saleable packs over a defined period after normal start-up, checks and stops, not only the instantaneous cycle rate.

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

LUFS200D1 project questions

Can the LUFS200D1 use agitation or heating?

The published configuration references an agitated hopper and a heating option. The required arrangement, temperature control and cleaning method must be specified for the actual product.

How many sachet sizes can be run?

A defined range may be possible, but width, seal style and film can require different forming, sealing or cutting parts. List every proposed size before tooling is agreed.

Can the machine be connected to an upstream product vessel?

Product supply can be engineered, but pressure, level control, transfer pump, temperature and cleaning responsibilities must be defined so the piston receives a stable feed.

How should output be compared with another supplier?

Use the same product, dose, sachet, film and accepted-pack definition. Ask each supplier to state test duration, rejected packs, normal checks and any stops excluded from the figure.

Define the project around your product and pack

Send the application data needed to assess the LUFS200D1

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 LUFS200D1 is the correct starting point and define the trial scope.

Model-specific evidence schedule

Use the LUFS200D1 trial to connect piston dosing, pack volume and clean seals

The reference range on this page must be confirmed against the actual liquid or paste, dose, sachet and film. Record the complete configuration that produces an accepted pack.

Challenge the product conditions

Test the declared viscosity and temperature range, particles, foaming or stringing, hopper agitation or heating where proposed, and the normal product-refill method. Include a planned pause and restart to expose drips, tails or pressure changes.

Sample the lowest, normal and highest commercial doses using the agreed measurement method. Retain time-identified packs and note the piston, valve and nozzle configuration.

Challenge the finished pack

Use production-intent film for every critical seal format. Check product clearance before the jaws close, registration, cut, code position and the agreed pack-integrity method.

Define accepted output as saleable packs under the declared case, including normal refill, inspection, stop/restart and downstream handling.
