Efficient, accurate, and hygienic — tube filling and sealing machines are essential for businesses packaging cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, personal care, food products, and even industrial pastes. Whether you’re working with plastic tubes, laminated tubes, or metal tubes, choosing the right equipment can dramatically improve your production speed and product presentation.
At SAPACKMAN, we supply reliable, high-performance tube filling machines for small, medium, and large-scale operations across South Africa and beyond.
What Are Tube Filling and Sealing Machines?
A tube filler and sealer is a packaging machine designed to fill semi-solid or viscous products into tubes and then seal the end to make it retail-ready. It ensures accurate volume control, reduces product waste, and enhances shelf appeal — all while maintaining hygiene and compliance with industry regulations.
Our systems can handle:
- Plastic tube filling and sealing (hot air or ultrasonic sealing)
- Aluminium tube filling and crimping
- Laminated tube packaging
- Multi-diameter and variable height tube handling

Types of Tube Filling & Sealing Equipment
We offer a complete range of tube filling machines tailored to your output, tube material, and automation needs.
🔹 Semi-Automatic Tube Fillers
Best for start-ups, labs, or low-volume production. The operator loads each tube manually; the machine fills and seals it. These machines are compact, affordable, and easy to clean.
🔹 Fully Automatic Tube Filling and Sealing Machines
Ideal for high-output lines, these machines automate tube loading, orientation, filling, sealing, and discharge. They offer:
- Fast changeover between products
- Consistent sealing quality
- Batch coding, trimming, and date marking
🔹 Metal Tube Crimping Machines
Designed specifically for aluminium tubes, these machines fill and then fold or crimp the end to create a tamper-evident seal — perfect for ointments and industrial applications.
