Cylinder module
Select the module around the lowest, normal and highest required fills. A published module range is not evidence that one cylinder will control every dose equally well.
The LU-GY1C is a Lancing single-head pneumatic piston filler supplied with conveyor handling in the published reference configuration. It is a candidate for liquids and pastes where one measured piston dose, controlled nozzle cut-off and a simple route into capping or labelling are required. Final output and accuracy must be confirmed with the intended product, cylinder module, container and test method.
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 working speed | 10–20 bottles/min |
| Published filling accuracy | ≤ ±0.5% |
| Power supply | 220 V / 110 V, 50/60 Hz |
| Power | 130 W |
| Required air pressure | 0.4–0.6 MPa |
| Published air consumption | ≥ 0.1 m³/min |
| Reference nozzle diameter | Φ10 mm |
| Reference conveyor | 2000 × 100 mm |
Reference data is based on the Lancing UK LU-GY1C 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.
Use the reference values to frame the trial, then prove the complete dosing and line sequence under controlled production conditions.
Select the module around the lowest, normal and highest required fills. A published module range is not evidence that one cylinder will control every dose equally well.
Confirm whether product is drawn from a hopper, local vessel or assisted supply. Maintain a repeatable level and temperature during the trial.
Check the 10 mm reference nozzle against product particles, neck opening, splash, strings and required cut-off. Alternative nozzles may be required.
Time the complete bottle-present, fill and release sequence. The 10–20 bottles/min figure is a reference, not a guarantee for every dose and pack.
The following are practical shortlist routes, not blanket suitability claims.
These checks connect the published machine reference to the actual process.
The LU-GY1C uses a pneumatic piston dose and the published reference includes a conveyor. The actual automation level depends on how bottles are presented, detected, held and released, and whether product feed and downstream machinery run automatically. Confirm the complete operating sequence rather than relying on one label.
Not necessarily. The published options span several module families, but a practical project should select a cylinder that gives useful stroke control at both the smallest and largest required doses. Widely separated fills may justify a change part or another module.
The source lists a reference filling accuracy of no more than ±0.5%. That value must be checked with the real product, selected cylinder, nozzle, container, measurement instrument, sample size and operating state before it becomes an acceptance criterion.
Send representative product at the normal and most difficult approved condition, the smallest and largest containers, closure details and enough material for priming, repeated fills, stops and restart checks. Include particles or aeration exactly as they occur in production.
The published reference includes conveyor handling and is presented as an integration route. Final line integration still requires bottle spacing, conveyor height, accumulation, controls, capping and labelling interfaces to be agreed around the actual pack.
Send the product, fill range, pack dimensions, target output, utilities and integration requirements for a Lancing shortlist and trial plan.
