Sachet Machines for Liquids
Universal Pack designs and builds a wide range of custom-built sachet machines. Our vertical continuous-motion sachet machines can handle low-viscosity and free-flowing liquids with high dosing accuracy through gravimetric and flowmeter dosing systems.
Which Dosing Systems are Suitable for Packaging Liquids?
On one hand, gravimetric gravimetric dosing works well with low-viscosity liquids. This dosing solution uses gravity to control product flow to allow the liquid to flow into each sachet. The opening time of the peristaltic closure controls the dose delivered into each sachet. The peristaltic closure also allows filled sachets to be sealed, by stopping product flow. To summarize, the gravimetric system offers minimum maintenance, high flexibility, consistent precision and ease of cleaning.
On the other hand, flowmeter is suitable for dose semi-liquids and viscous products, with micro-adjustable dose control. The difference between flowmeter and gravimetric “lies in the operating principle. While gravimetric is based on the opening and closing time of the peristaltic closure, flowmetermeasures liquid flow through sensors to control the dose.
In both cases, we design dosing nozzles and cleaning procedures to suit the characteristics of your product.
Our sachet machines for liquids provide a compact solution combining the high output within a compact footprint. These solutions include many advantages such as high dosing accuracy, reduced wrapping material waste, easy handling and cleaning. Moreover, our user-friendly and modular sachet machines allow our customers to reduce downtime and fulfill their increasingly high production demands.

Types of Packages
Formats
Universal Pack sachet machines are specifically dedicated to single-dose packages. For example, we can dose from 01 up to 200 ml of liquids, semi-liquids and low-viscosity products in a sachet, with dimensions that vary according to your marketing goals, nature of the products and production requirements.
Moreover, we provide you with the possibility to easily integrate your sachet pack machine in a Universal Pack packaging line for cartoning. Our lines allow you to place from from 1 to more than 100 sachets in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any amount of packages to be picked and placed into cartons. In recent years, our philosophy is to save as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.
Laminates
Universal Pack sachet packaging machines for liquids can process all typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene), PET-ALU-PE (polyethylene terephthalate – aluminum – polyethylene) and cold-sealable materials. Our machines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethylene), and more on request.

Sustainability
Our continuous research in reducing the packaging industry’s carbon footprint resulted in streamlined machinery design for packing recycled, recyclable and compostable laminates. LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is used to measure the environmental impact of our products and identify optimal ways to reduce it. It is a 360° analysis that goes beyond the mere packaging produced and involves every step of the packaging machinery production process. We develop our solutions in close collaboration with the main global film suppliers and test them in agreement with major multinational companies in order to provide them with a turnkey solution able to produce more sustainable packages.
