What is a tube filling and sealing machine?

A tube filling and sealing machine is a specialized piece of equipment designed to fill and seal liquids, pastes, or viscous substances into tubes made from plastic, polyfoil, or aluminium. It is commonly used in industries like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food packaging.

What types of products can be packaged using tube filling machines?

Tube filling machines are versatile and can handle a wide range of products, including:

  • Toothpaste
  • Cosmetic creams
  • Ointments
  • Silicone sealants
  • Sunscreens
  • Shampoo and liquid soap
  • Pharmaceutical gels
  • Food pastes (e.g., sauces, syrups)
Are tube filling machines suitable for different viscosities?

Yes, these machines can efficiently handle products of varying viscosities, from liquid substances like lotions to thicker materials like ointments, silicone sealants, and glue.

What industries benefit from tube filling and sealing machines?

These machines are widely used in:

  • Pharmaceutical industry: For creams, gels, and ointments.
  • Cosmetics industry: For creams, serums, and lotions.
  • Food industry: For sauces, pastes, and spreads.
  • Chemical industry: For adhesives, sealants, and paints.
What are the key features of tube filling machines?
  • No-Tube No-Fill System: Prevents product wastage by detecting missing tubes.
  • Adjustable Dust Aspiration: Ensures a clean filling process.
  • Intuitive HMI System with PLC Display: Allows for real-time monitoring and easy adjustments.
  • Quality-Control Sensors: Detect jammed or reversed tubes and air pressure drops.
  • Hygienic Stainless-Steel Design: Ideal for industries with strict sanitation requirements.
How does a tube filling and sealing machine work?
  1. Tubes are automatically fed into vertical cup seats via a tube feeder.
  2. Dust aspiration and vacuum clean the tubes’ interiors.
  3. A quantitative filling valve fills the tubes with the desired product.
  4. The machine seals the tube’s top-end using a heat seal or crimper.
  5. Coding devices print batch numbers and manufacturing dates for traceability.
  6. Finished tubes are discharged into a collection vessel for packing.
What are the benefits of using an automatic tube filler?
  • Increased production efficiency.
  • Precise and consistent filling.
  • Minimal product waste.
  • Improved hygiene and sanitation.
  • Traceability with coding features.
Are there customized options available?

Yes, tube filling machines can be customized based on production needs. Options include additional stirring devices, saddle folding equipment, or other modules tailored to specific applications like silicone sealant filling or cosmetic cream packaging.

Can these machines handle laminated tubes?

Yes, they are designed to accommodate various tube materials, including laminated, plastic, polyfoil, and aluminium tubes.

What types of tube sealing methods are available?

Tube filling machines typically use heat sealing or crimping techniques, depending on the material of the tube. These methods ensure airtight and secure seals to maintain product integrity.

How does a tube filling machine maintain hygiene?

The machines feature adjustable dust aspiration, vacuum systems, and stainless-steel contact parts that are easy to clean, making them ideal for hygienic applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries.

Can these machines be integrated into existing production lines?

Yes, tube filling and sealing machines are modular and flexible, allowing seamless integration into both new and existing production lines.
