One filling nozzle
A single product path simplifies the first comparison but places container presentation and cycle timing at the centre of the output test.
Published Lancing configuration
LU-GT1 single-nozzle pneumatic paste filler.
A compact pneumatic piston filling configuration for viscous products, with selectable cylinder modules and operator-controlled container presentation. The final machine must be confirmed against the actual product, dose, pack and test method.
Direct answer
What is the LU-GT1 paste filling machine?
The LU-GT1 is a single-nozzle pneumatic piston filler published by Lancing for viscous liquids and pastes. It is a reference route for batch production where an operator can present containers and the product can refill the selected cylinder consistently. Suitability, output and accuracy remain application-dependent.
Pneumatic piston dosing
The cylinder draws a defined stroke of product and discharges it through the selected valve and nozzle.
Multiple cylinder options
Published modules cover small to large fills. The correct module is selected for the required SKU family rather than treating the full range as one cylinder.
Application trial required
Product temperature, particles, aeration, stringing, refill and container opening must be checked with representative samples.

| Reference output | 5–20 bottles/min | Product, dose, refill, container handling, operator method and accepted-pack definition. |
| Published accuracy | ≤ ±0.5% | Target, measuring method, sample sequence, product condition and acceptance rule. |
| Electrical supply | 220 V / 110 V, 50–60 Hz; 10 W | Final supply and protection for the quoted configuration. |
| Compressed air | 0.4–0.6 MPa; OD 8 mm connection; ≥0.1 m³/min | Air quality, pressure stability, capacity and connection at the installation point. |

Where it may fit
Use the LU-GT1 where batch flexibility matters more than fully automatic container flow.
The configuration may suit smaller production batches, development work, contract packing and several SKUs where an operator can control the cycle. It is not automatically suitable for every thick product: chamber refill, particle passage, stringing, nozzle cut-off and cleaning need to be tested.
Compare the route with the semi-automatic paste filling guide and the product sample trial guide.

Buyer questions
Questions to close before specifying the LU-GT1.
Which LU-GT1 cylinder option should be selected?
Select the module that covers the required dose family with a practical stroke, then verify refill and repeatability at the smallest and largest production fills. A project spanning widely separated doses may need more than one cylinder set.
Can the LU-GT1 operate without compressed air?
No. The published LU-GT1 is pneumatic and requires a stable compressed-air supply. Confirm pressure, flow capacity, air quality, connection and isolation requirements for the final installation.
How should LU-GT1 output be tested?
Time accepted filled containers using the normal product, dose, container and operator method. Record refill delays, adjustments, drips, rejected fills and any interruption for product replenishment.
What is the next step before quotation?
Send representative product and packs with the required dose range and output. Lancing can confirm the cylinder, valve, nozzle and product-feed assumptions that need to be included in a trial or quotation.
