4. CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR GEL PACKAGING MACHINE When you are deciding on a liquid pouch packaging machine,it is essential to discuss your packaging requirements with your packaging machine manufacturer. These include: In the case of gel packaging, viscosity has a considerable effect on the rate at which the liquid/gel travels, how long it takes to set in place, and the time it takes to insert the fluid into flexible packaging. The packaging material you choose should furnish a reliable barrier to protect against external elements that may end up spoiling your product like dust, moisture, oxygen et al. Viscosity reduces when viscous products are heated, allowing them to flow more easily. Hence when deciding on the filling system, the temperature at which the liquid is filled is of critical importance.
