Tubing selection
Specify tubing material, bore, wall thickness, chemical compatibility, expected life and cleaning or replacement method. Tubing is part of the metering system.
Lancing model configuration
LU-DTPP4E four-head peristaltic liquid filling machine.
The LU-DTPP4E is a four-channel peristaltic liquid filler in which product is moved through flexible tubing by the pump heads. The published reference provides water-based flow, speed and accuracy data, but the final dose and output depend on tubing, liquid behaviour, bottle handling, air supply and calibration with the real product.

Published reference data
Reference specification for the LU-DTPP4E configuration.
The table below paraphrases current first-party Lancing information. It is a starting point for a product-and-pack trial, not an unconditional performance guarantee.

| Published maximum flow | 4000 ml/min per nozzle, based on water |
| Published working speed | 30–50 bottles/min, dependent on bottle and liquid |
| Published filling accuracy | ±1% for water |
| Power supply | AC 110/220 V, 50–60 Hz |
| Power | 60 W per pump |
| Air pressure | 0.3–0.4 MPa |
| Reference bottle height | <220 mm; customisable to a published maximum of 300 mm |

| Conveyor | Approximately 1100 × 115 mm |
Source and qualification
Reference data is based on the Lancing UK LU-DTPP4E source page. Final construction, utilities, output and acceptance criteria must be confirmed in the Lancing quotation and trial record for the actual product and container.
Selection checks
How to turn the published configuration into a project specification.
Use the reference values to frame the trial, then prove the complete dosing and line sequence under controlled production conditions.
Liquid properties
Water-based values do not automatically transfer to oils, solvents, foaming liquids or gels. Test viscosity, surface tension, aeration, temperature and any suspended solids.
Channel calibration
Prime and calibrate each pump channel separately. Retain tubing batch, installation, pump-head condition and head-specific results.
Container presentation
Check bottle height, neck opening, nozzle clearance, conveyor pitch and sensor timing at the intended speed.
Application fit
Applications to assess with the real product and pack.
The following are practical shortlist routes, not blanket suitability claims.
- Low-viscosity liquids where a tubing-only contact route is useful
- Frequent product changes where replacing or controlling tubing may simplify the wetted path
- Small bottles and four-channel production where head-specific calibration can be retained
- Lines requiring conveyor transfer into capping, labelling or coding after filling
Buyer questions
Questions to answer before ordering the LU-DTPP4E.
These checks connect the published machine reference to the actual process.
Why are the LU-DTPP4E speed and flow figures stated for water?
Peristaltic flow changes with tubing, pump speed, liquid viscosity, temperature, suction lift and discharge restriction. A water result is a controlled reference. The intended liquid must be timed and measured with the selected tubing and nozzle before output or accuracy is accepted.
Does product only touch the tubing on a peristaltic filler?
The pump mechanism acts on the tubing, but the full wetted route may also include source fittings, pickup tubes, connectors and nozzles. The project should identify every product-contact component and define cleaning or replacement for each one.
How often should tubing be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on tubing material, chemical exposure, compression, speed, temperature, cleaning and the acceptable change in delivered volume. Establish an inspection and calibration interval from the real duty rather than using an unverified universal life.
Can the four channels be calibrated independently?
Each channel should be primed, measured and recorded separately because tubing installation, pump-head wear and restriction can create channel-to-channel differences. Retain the adjustment and result against the head identity.
When should peristaltic and piston filling be compared?
Compare them when the buyer must balance tubing isolation and quick wetted-path changes against piston displacement, broader viscous-product handling, valve/nozzle options and the required dose range. Use the actual product and cleaning requirement to decide.
