Why Universal Pack
Filling Technology Developed Around Mayonnaise Rheology
Mayonnaise is an emulsified product whose viscosity and flow behaviour can vary significantly between recipes and operating conditions. These characteristics affect filling time, dosing repeatability and product cut-off.
Universal Pack configures the filling system around the actual formulation, target dose and production conditions, with the objective of achieving consistent portioning without treating every viscous sauce as the same application.
Clean Cut-Off Matters as Much as Dose Accuracy
With mayonnaise, an accurate dose is only part of the challenge. Product strings or residues around the nozzle can reach the sealing area, compromise pack appearance and make the process less stable.
Nozzle geometry, dosing timing, filling position and product cut-off are therefore developed as part of the same process, helping keep stick packs and sachets clean before sealing.
Flexibility for Recipes, Portions and Pack Formats
Foodservice and single-serve production can involve different recipes, fat contents, serving sizes, printed films and pack dimensions.
Changeover requirements, product-contact accessibility and format flexibility are considered early in the project so the packaging equipment can support a changing portfolio without turning every new SKU into a major production constraint.
Complete Lines Built Around the Finished Pack
Primary packaging can be connected directly with inspection, counting, grouping, transfer and cartoning.
This makes it possible to engineer the complete mayonnaise packaging line around the required final configuration, from individually discharged stick packs or sachets to automatically counted packs ready for secondary packaging.

Technical Project Assessment
Mayonnaise packaging performance depends on the interaction between rheology, filling conditions, portion size, product cut-off and seal cleanliness. These parameters should be considered together before defining the final machine configuration.
| What we evaluate | Key project considerations |
|---|---|
| How does the mayonnaise behave during dosing? | Viscosity, consistency, flow behaviour and recipe composition influence filling time, nozzle selection and the dosing technology required for repeatable production. |
| Does product behaviour change with temperature? | Temperature can modify mayonnaise viscosity and therefore affect flow, filling consistency and product cut-off. The expected operating range should be defined during project assessment. |
| What serving sizes must be produced? | Target dose, permitted tolerance, product density and required pack dimensions are considered together when defining the filling configuration. |
| How clean must the product cut-off be? | Thick or sticky mayonnaise may form strings or leave residues after filling. Nozzle geometry and dosing timing are assessed to reduce dripping and help keep the sealing area clean. |
| Is a stick pack or sachet more suitable? | Dose volume, required pack width, opening experience, branding space and end-use requirements influence the choice between stick pack and sachet formats. |
| How should the seal area be protected from mayonnaise contamination? | Filling position, nozzle movement, product cut-off and sealing timing are coordinated to limit product entering the seal and support consistent pack integrity. |
| Which flexible packaging material will be used? | Sealability, mechanical resistance, barrier properties, pack appearance and compatibility with the filling process are considered when assessing laminate suitability. |
| How many mayonnaise recipes and pack formats will share the machine? | Differences in viscosity, ingredients, serving size and printed film affect recipe management, product changeovers and format-change requirements. |
| What cleaning routine is required between production campaigns? | Recipe sequence, product residues, campaign length, available cleaning time and accessibility of product-contact parts influence the cleaning concept. |
| Which quality controls are required on the line? | Coding, vision inspection, dose or weight control, reject management, traceability and production data functions can be integrated according to project requirements. |
| What sustained production output must be achieved? | Required packs per minute, number of shifts, campaign duration and downstream capacity determine the number of lanes and appropriate machine architecture. |
| How will the finished stick packs or sachets be handled? | Loose discharge, counting, grouping, orientation and transfer requirements influence the downstream handling system and level of automation. |
| Will automatic cartoning be part of the project? | Required pack count, carton dimensions, sachet or stick orientation and format range are defined when integrating primary packaging with automatic cartoning. |
Faq
Which packaging machine is suitable for mayonnaise stick packs and sachets?
The right configuration depends on mayonnaise viscosity, target dose, pack dimensions, required output and downstream automation. Both stick pack and sachet machines can be considered, with the final choice based on the complete production application.
What is the main challenge when dosing mayonnaise into single-serve packs?
Mayonnaise combines high viscosity with a tendency to remain attached to the nozzle after dosing. Repeatable filling therefore depends not only on dose control but also on clean product cut-off and stable filling conditions.
Can mayonnaise be packaged in both stick packs and sachets?
Yes. The most appropriate format depends on serving size, available filling volume, pack proportions, consumer opening requirements and branding needs.
How is mayonnaise prevented from contaminating the seal?
Nozzle design, filling position, dosing timing and product cut-off are coordinated to reduce dripping or stringing before the pack reaches the sealing station.
Can one machine package different mayonnaise recipes?
It can, provided the expected viscosity range, ingredients, doses and pack formats are considered during machine engineering. Recipe variation may affect dosing parameters and cleaning requirements.
Does mayonnaise temperature influence packaging performance?
Yes. Temperature can alter viscosity and flow behaviour, which may influence dosing consistency and cut-off performance. The expected filling temperature should therefore be defined as part of the technical project.
Which packaging materials are suitable for mayonnaise portion packs?
The laminate must provide suitable sealing performance, mechanical resistance and product protection while remaining compatible with the selected stick pack or sachet format and machine speed.
How are mayonnaise packaging machines cleaned between recipes or campaigns?
The cleaning approach depends on recipe sequence, production campaign length, product residues and site hygiene procedures. Accessibility of product-contact parts is an important design consideration.
What production speeds can mayonnaise stick pack and sachet machines achieve?
Output depends on dose, product behaviour, pack dimensions, laminate, number of lanes and required quality controls. The target should be defined as sustained production performance rather than nominal machine speed alone.
Can Universal Pack supply complete mayonnaise packaging lines?
Yes. Primary packaging can be integrated with inspection, counting, grouping, conveying and cartoning according to the required production output and final pack configuration.
Can different serving sizes run on the same mayonnaise packaging machine?
Yes, within the operating range defined during engineering. The number of doses and pack formats, together with expected changeover frequency, determine the level of flexibility required.
Can mayonnaise and packaging film be tested before the final machine configuration is defined?
Yes. Trials with the actual product and laminate can help assess dosing behaviour, product cut-off, filling cleanliness, sealing performance and overall machinability before final engineering decisions are made.
