Sachet Machines for Viscous & Liquids
Universal Pack designs continuous-motion sachet machines for liquid and viscous products, ensuring high dosing accuracy through its piston pump dosing system.
Which Dosing Systems are Suitable for Packaging Viscous & Liquids?
The piston-pump system provides high flexibility with micro-adjustable dose control. This characteristic results in the wide range of products that the piston-pump system can dose, such as viscous, pasty and non-free flowing liquids. We install the pump on the side of the machine to improve accessibility for cleaning or on an independent pedestal to make it easier to move the pump to a dedicated cleaning area. Moreover, we can provide heated piston cylinders and heated pipes to avoid the solidification of the product during machine stops.
Compared with flowmeter dosing systems, piston pump dosing solution guarantees not only higher flexibility, but also better system precision and higher operating speed. Moreover, piston pump is a user-friendly volumetric dosing system: e.g. operators only need to adjust one parameter when the density of the product changes.
Our sachet machines for viscous liquids are 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 0.1 up to 200 g. or ml of viscous, pasty and non-free flowing liquids 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 machine in a Universal Pack packaging line for cartoning. Our lines allow you to insert from 1 up to 100 or more sachets in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any number 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 machines for viscous and 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 carbon footprint resulted in streamlined machinery design for processing 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.
