Key Components of the Tube Filler and Sealer
Ensures drip-free filling with adjustable height.
Nozzle AssemblyControls machine operations.
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)Checks the tube volume and removes the waste tubes.
Photoelectric SensorVolume options: 20 L, 50 L, 70 L, 100 L, 150 L, 200L.
Material TankHow Does Tube Filling and Sealing Machine Work
- Step 1. Feeding:Empty tubes are loaded either automatically via conveyor or manually, with proper orientation (open end up).
- Step 2. Positioning: Clamps secure tubes while vision systems ensure precise alignment for filling.
- Step 3. Filling: Product is dosed using piston (for pastes), peristaltic pump (liquids) or auger (powders) with ±0.5% accuracy.
- Step 4. Cleaning (Optional): Wipers or vacuum nozzles remove excess material from tube openings.
- Step 5. Sealing: Tubes are sealed via heat (plastics), crimping (metal) or ultrasonic (heat-sensitive products).
- Step 6. Capping: Automatic systems apply screw-on or snap-on caps to finished tubes.
- Step 7.Marking (Optional): Date codes/batch numbers are printed via inkjet, laser or hot stamp methods.
- Step 8. Discharge: Finished tubes exit via conveyor for secondary packaging or palletizing.
FAQ
Plastic tubes (laminate, PE, PET)
Aluminum tubes
Laminated tubes (for sensitive products)
Piston filling – Best for thick products (creams, ointments)
Peristaltic pump – For liquids, sterile solutions
Auger filling – For powders or semi-solids
Manual/Semi-automatic: 10-30 tubes/minute
Automatic: 30-80 tubes/minute
High-speed rotary: 80-200+ tubes/minute
The regular filling capacity is 5 mL to 250 mL. If you need to exceed 250 mL, you can choose our customized services.
Pharma (ointments, gels, nasal sprays)
Cosmetics (lotions, toothpaste)
Food (condiments, sauces)
Industrial (adhesives, lubricants)
Semi-automatic: Manual loading, lower speed, lower cost
