Liquid fillingWhy is thin free-flowing liquids production giving inconsistent results?
Variation usually begins with changing product or packaging conditions, unstable presentation, unsuitable settings or wear in the process.

Plain-English production answers
Find the cause.Fix the production problem.
Tell us what you are producing, the pack you use and the problem you can see. We will guide you to practical checks and the most relevant machinery options.
Four ways to begin
Start with what you already know
You do not need to know the machine name. Choose your product, pack, visible problem or industry and we will guide you to the closest checks and machinery options.
01
Start with the product
Choose liquids, powders, pieces, chemicals, foods and other product behaviours.
Start here →
02
Start with the pack
Choose bottles, jars, pouches, cartons, films and closures.
Start here →
03
Start with the visible problem
Browse inconsistency, jams, slow output, waste, cleaning, maintenance and quality.
Start here →
04
Start with the industry
Find routes for food, drinks, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and contract packing.

Liquid filling
Liquid fillingHow do I reduce breakdowns in sauces and dressings equipment?
Record the initiating fault, not only the final alarm, and convert recurring failures into controlled inspection, replacement and setup standards.

Liquid fillingHow should hot-fill products equipment be cleaned?
Cleaning must suit the product, materials, contamination risk and machine design. Use an approved method that reaches product-contact and trap points safely.

Powders, granules and piecesHow do I feed and present aerated powders reliably?
Stable production needs controlled orientation, spacing, buffering and handover to the next machine at a rate above normal demand.
See the checks →
Powders, granules and piecesWhen should I automate seeds and grains?
Automate when the current constraint, labour requirement, quality risk or capacity need can be measured and the automated process can be supported reliably.

Capping and closuresHow can I increase metal screw caps production speed?
Increase sustained good output by identifying the actual constraint, separating machine cycle time from handling time and removing the first recurring cause of waiting.

Useful questions before you compare machinery
Use the questions below to prepare the information needed for a useful recommendation.
What information should I provide about production and packaging machinery?
Provide the product, pack, smallest and largest format, current and required output, clear pass/fail targets, site utilities and a short video or samples.
Should production and packaging machinery be tested before ordering?
Yes. Test representative product and packaging, including the hardest normal condition, and agree clear pass/fail results before ordering.
Should I compare maximum speed or sustained output?
Compare the number of acceptable finished packs produced in a normal hour, including loading, replenishment, changeover and inspection. A short peak-speed test does not show normal production output.
What causes most production problems?
The most common causes are unstable product or packaging conditions, poor presentation, unsuitable settings, wear, insufficient buffer capacity and unclear acceptance limits.
When should I contact Lancing?
Contact Lancing when the product, pack and target are defined or when measurements and video show a recurring constraint that cannot be resolved safely by normal setup and maintenance.
