Product supply
Six cylinders need a stable, adequately sized product supply. Confirm hopper level, transfer pump, temperature, mixing and refill conditions so every head receives the same product state.
Lancing model configuration
LU-YT6T-6P six-head piston filler for viscous liquids and pastes.
The LU-YT6T-6P is a six-nozzle pneumatic piston filling configuration for pumpable viscous products and pastes. The first-party reference identifies applications including honey, glue, syrup and ketchup, a configurable 5–5000 ml volume family and a published ±1% accuracy reference. Product feed, valve passage, nozzle cut-off and accepted output must be proved with the intended formulation and pack.

Published reference data
Reference specification for the LU-YT6T-6P 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.
| Specification item | Published reference |
|---|---|
| Dosing method | Six-head pneumatic piston volumetric filling |
| Published head count | 6 filling nozzles |
| Published filling family | 5 ml to 5000 ml, configuration dependent |
| Published filling accuracy | ±1% reference |
| Published product examples | Honey, glue, syrup and ketchup |
| Construction reference | Stainless steel frame |
| Nozzle configuration | Customisable |
| Output | To be confirmed for the actual product, dose, container and line sequence |
Source and qualification
Reference data is based on the Lancing UK LU-YT6T-6P 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.
Particles and shear
Test the largest particle size and normal concentration through valves and nozzles. Observe blockage, cutting, settling and product damage rather than assuming “paste” describes every formulation.
Head balance
Prime, calibrate and sample all six heads individually. A pooled average can conceal one cylinder that refills slowly or one nozzle that retains product.
Line rate
Time the full accepted-pack cycle. Six heads do not create six times the output if draw, discharge, bottle indexing, capping or labelling limits the line.
Application fit
Applications to assess with the real product and pack.
The following are practical shortlist routes, not blanket suitability claims.
- Viscous food products such as honey, syrup and ketchup subject to hygiene and particle trials
- Adhesive and glue products after chemical compatibility and cleaning review
- Creams, gels and pumpable pastes where six heads can be fed consistently
- Higher-output conveyor lines where capping, labelling and discharge are balanced to the filler
Buyer questions
Questions to answer before ordering the LU-YT6T-6P.
These checks connect the published machine reference to the actual process.
How should six piston heads be balanced?
Prime every product path, then collect a consecutive sample from each nozzle using the same target and measurement method. Adjust head-specific settings only after identifying whether the difference comes from calibration, product starvation, trapped air, a valve restriction or nozzle behaviour.
Can the LU-YT6T-6P fill products with particles?
Potentially, but suitability depends on maximum particle size, concentration, hardness, tendency to settle, valve geometry, seal clearance and nozzle bore. Use the real worst-case product in a controlled trial and inspect both dose results and product damage.
What determines output on a six-head paste filler?
Dose size, product temperature, suction and discharge speed, cylinder refill, valve passage, nozzle cut-off, bottle indexing, product replenishment and downstream machinery determine accepted output. Head count is only one part of the cycle.
How should the published ±1% reference be used?
Treat it as a starting specification reference. Write the actual target, tolerance, sample size, measurement instrument, product condition, head identity and operating states into the FAT before accepting an accuracy criterion.
What changeover evidence is needed?
Record drain-down, product recovery, dismantling access, seals, valve orientation, cylinder or recipe setting, nozzle parts, cleaning method, reassembly checks and the first accepted samples after restart.
