Liquid, oil, juice, sauce, shampoo, detergent, honey, and paste do not run through a packing machine in the same way. Vicanpack liquid packing machines match the filling system to the product’s flow and viscosity, then pack it into sachets, stick packs, premade pouches, spout pouches, or bottles.

The automatic liquid packaging machine range includes single-lane and multilane sachet machines, vertical baggers, premade pouch machines, and bottle filling lines. A liquid filling and packing machine can also add mixing, coding, capping, labeling, or conveying when the production process requires it. Machine selection depends on the liquid, filling volume, package format, and target output.

Packing water and packing ketchup are two different jobs. Thin liquids move quickly through the filling system, while honey, sauce and paste need more time to reach the package. Products with chili pieces, seeds or pulp add another challenge.

Vicanpack supplies liquid packing machines for sachets, stick packs, premade pouches, spout pouches and bottles. We match the filling unit and packaging machine to the liquid, filling volume and final package.

Sachet and Stick Pack

Small portions of sauce, honey, shampoo, mouthwash and other liquids can use single-lane or multilane machines.

The machine forms each pack from roll film, measures the liquid and seals the finished sachet. Three-side seal, four-side seal and narrow stick formats can cover different retail and sample packs.

A multilane machine runs several packs in one cycle when the project needs higher output.

Premade Pouch and Doypack

Stand-up pouches, zipper pouches and shaped premade bags need a pouch packing machine rather than a standard VFFS machine.

The machine takes an empty pouch, opens it, fills the liquid and seals the top. This format suits sauce, mayonnaise, paste and other products sold in larger flexible packs.

Spout Pouch

Spout pouches work well for products that consumers pour or squeeze from the pack.

The filling system needs to match the pouch spout and product viscosity. Liquid detergent, sauce, juice and other products can use this package when the pouch structure suits the product.

Bottle Packing Line

A liquid filling and packing machine line can fill bottles and then continue through capping, labeling and coding.

This route suits products that need rigid packaging rather than bags or pouches.

Package style alone cannot decide the machine.

Free-flowing products such as water, juice, vinegar and some oils need a different filling method from thick sauces or creams.

Vicanpack considers:

• Liquid viscosity
• Filling temperature
• Product particles
• Foaming
• Target filling volume
• Dripping after filling

Piston and pump systems handle many sauces, pastes and thicker liquids. Other pump or gravity-based systems can suit thinner products.

When the liquid contains particles, the valve and filling passage need enough clearance for them to move through without frequent blockage.

An automatic liquid packaging machine can combine dosing, filling, bag forming or pouch handling, sealing and finished-pack discharge.

For roll-film packaging, the process may follow:

Film Forming → Liquid Dosing → Filling → Sealing → Cutting

For premade pouches:

Pouch Feeding → Opening → Filling → Sealing → Discharge

The factory can add date coding, finished-pack conveying, checkweighing or cartoning according to the production route.

The machine configuration should follow the package rather than adding every optional unit to every project.

Liquid packaging speed depends heavily on the filling stage.

A small water sachet can fill quickly. A larger pouch of thick sauce needs more dosing time. Products with particles may also need a slower flow through the filling outlet.

Other factors include:

• Filling volume
• Bag length
• Number of lanes
• Product viscosity
• Film or pouch type
• Sealing time
• Filling nozzle size

This is why one “bags per minute” figure cannot describe every liquid running on the same machine.

Vicanpack can configure equipment for products such as:

• Water and juice
• Edible oil
• Vinegar
• Honey and syrup
• Ketchup and sauce
• Mayonnaise
• Jam and paste
• Shampoo
• Liquid soap
• Detergent
• Hand sanitizer
• Other food, cosmetic and chemical liquids

For liquids with pulp, seeds or other pieces, send product photos and particle dimensions before machine selection.

For machine selection, provide:

1. Liquid name
2. Filling volume
3. Product viscosity
4. Particle size, if any
5. Bag, pouch or bottle type
6. Package dimensions
7. Required packs per minute
8. Product and package samples when available

If the product needs heating or mixing during filling, include that information as well.

What is a liquid packing machine?

A liquid packing machine measures liquid and fills it into flexible packs or rigid containers. Depending on the model, it can also form bags, handle premade pouches, seal the package or connect with capping equipment.

What is the difference between a liquid packing machine and a liquid filling machine?

A liquid filling machine mainly focuses on dosing liquid into a container. A liquid packing machine can also include bag forming, pouch handling, sealing or other packaging steps around the filling process.

Which machine works for sauce and thick paste?

Sauce and paste often use piston or pump filling systems. The machine also needs suitable valves and filling outlets when the product contains particles.

Can one machine pack different liquid products?

Yes, when the products fall within the machine's filling range and work with the same filling system. Large differences in viscosity, particles or filling temperature may require another pump, valve or hopper setup.

Can Vicanpack supply a complete liquid packing line?

Yes. Vicanpack can combine liquid filling with sachet packing, premade pouch packing, bottle capping, labeling, coding or downstream cartoning according to the required package.
