Automatic Linear Tube Filling and Sealing Machine
Application & Process
The Automatic Linear Tube Filling Machine is used in industries like pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food to efficiently fill and seal tubes with products such as creams, gels, pastes, and adhesives. It’s designed for high-speed production, perfect for medium to large-scale operations.
Process:
-
Tube Loading: Tubes are automatically loaded and oriented.
-
Product Filling: Precise filling of the product using piston or pump-based systems.
-
Sealing: Tubes are sealed via heat, ultrasonic sealing, or crimping.
-
Coding (Optional): Batch numbers or expiration dates can be printed.
-
Tube Ejection: Filled tubes are automatically ejected, ready for packaging.
Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure smooth operation.
Salient Features
-
cGMP Compliance: Designed according to Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) to ensure quality and safety.
-
High-Quality Materials: All contact parts are constructed from AISI 316/316L stainless steel, while non-contact parts are made of AISI 304 stainless steel.
-
Fully Automatic Operations: Capable of automatic tube infeed, filling, sealing, and discharge for efficient processing.
-
User-Friendly Design: Features a simple mechanism that is easy for operators to navigate.
-
Auto Feeding Device: Automatically loads tubes into the cups, enhancing operational efficiency.
-
No Tube, No Fill Device: Ensures that filling does not occur without a tube present, preventing waste.
-
Heated Charging Hopper: The hopper includes jackets for heating and an agitator assembly for consistent material flow.
-
Durable Cup Holder: Made from nylon materials to ensure durability and reliability.
-
Folding and Coding Stations: Includes individual stations dedicated to folding and coding tubes for proper labeling.
Safety Features
