Paste products range from food pastes and thick sauces to creams, lotions, gels, and cosmetic formulas. Vicanpack paste packing machines cover small sachets, roll-film bags, air-free pouches, bottles, and plastic or aluminum tubes, with dosing systems chosen for different textures and filling volumes.

For portion packs, a paste packaging machine can form, fill, and seal single-lane or multilane sachets. Bottle and tube applications use separate filling, capping, labeling, or tube-sealing setups. For buyers comparing paste packing machine manufacturers, Vicanpack offers both standalone machines and complete lines based on the product consistency, package format, fill volume, and planned production rate.

Paste products sit between liquids and solids. Some flow slowly, some hold their shape, and others trap air inside the product during filling. These differences change the pump, hopper, nozzle and package handling.

Vicanpack supplies paste packing machines for food, cosmetics, personal care and other viscous products. The equipment can work with sachets, roll-film bags, premade pouches, tubes, bottles and jars.

The first step is to check how the paste actually moves, not just its product name.

Typical products include:

• Jam and fruit paste
• Mayonnaise
• Tomato paste
• Cream and lotion
• Cosmetic gel
• Ointment
• Toothpaste-type products
• Adhesive paste
• Other thick or semi-fluid materials

A smooth cosmetic cream and a paste with fruit pieces may have similar thickness but need different filling passages.

If the product contains particles, fibers or pieces, provide their approximate size before machine selection.

Small portions can use a sachet or VFFS paste packaging machine.

The machine forms the package from film, dispenses the paste and seals the finished pack. Three-side and four-side seal formats suit many single-use or sample products.

For larger output, a multilane machine can produce several small packs during one cycle.

Paste often stays around the filling outlet longer than thin liquid. The nozzle position and cut-off action need to keep excess product away from the sealing area.

Larger flexible packs can use premade pouch or vertical bag machines.

Some thick products trap air during filling. Too much air can make the finished bag bulky and affect the final shape.

Vicanpack can configure the filling and bag-handling section according to the required pouch format, filling amount and whether the product needs air removal before final sealing.

This matters for products such as sauce paste, mayonnaise and other dense fillings where the customer wants a tighter finished pack.

Plastic, laminated and aluminum tubes use another packing route.

The machine loads the tube, fills the paste and closes the tube end. Plastic and laminated tubes commonly use heat sealing, while metal tubes need folding or crimping.

Tube diameter, filling volume and paste consistency affect the filling nozzle and tooling.

This format commonly suits creams, gels, ointments and cosmetic products.

Bottles and jars work well for cream, jam, paste and other products that need a cap after filling.

A line may run:

Bottle Feeding → Paste Filling → Cap Feeding → Capping → Labeling

Gear pumps, piston fillers and other dosing systems can cover different viscosity ranges.

Wide-mouth jars usually give thick paste more room to flow. Narrow bottle openings can limit filling speed, especially with larger doses.

Four issues often matter:

Viscosity: Thick products take longer to move through the filling path.

Stringing: Some pastes leave a thin strand when the nozzle stops filling.

Air: Dense products may trap air in the hopper or finished pack.

Particles: Pieces inside the paste can block small valves and nozzles.

Heating or agitation may help some products, but not every paste needs them. Tell Vicanpack how the product behaves during your current production rather than adding these functions by default.

Before comparing models, confirm:

• Product consistency
• Maximum particle size
• Filling weight or volume
• Filling temperature
• Sachet, pouch, tube or bottle format
• Package dimensions
• Required packs per minute
• Number of products you plan to run

A machine that works well with lotion may not suit a dense food paste with solid pieces.

Product samples or a short filling video can reveal more than a viscosity number alone.

When comparing paste packing machine manufacturers, look at the filling test rather than only the machine specification.

Ask the supplier:

• Which paste did they use for the speed test?
• Can the pump handle your viscosity?
• What is the maximum particle size?
• Does the machine need heating or mixing?
• Which package sizes can run without changing major parts?
• How does the nozzle cut off thick product?
• What equipment does the quotation include?

A fast dry-run video does not show how the machine will perform with your actual paste.

What is a paste packing machine?

A paste packing machine measures thick or semi-fluid products and fills them into sachets, pouches, tubes, bottles or jars. The machine uses a filling system that matches the product viscosity and package opening.

What filling system works with thick paste?

Piston fillers and suitable pump systems cover many thick products. The correct choice depends on viscosity, filling volume, particles and how the product behaves at the nozzle.

Can one paste packaging machine handle different products?

Yes, when the products fall within the same filling range. Large differences in viscosity, particles or filling temperature may require another pump, valve, nozzle or hopper setup.

Can Vicanpack pack paste into both flexible and rigid packages?

Yes. Vicanpack can configure sachet, VFFS, premade pouch, tube and bottle filling equipment according to the product and package.
