Tube fill and seal machines in South Africa are designed to effectively fill and seal many forms of liquid or paste products within a laminated plastic, polyfoil, or aluminium tube. These machines allow differentiated tube feeding to suit individual requirements. They can be integrated into any new or existing production line to fill and seal tubes of various shapes and sizes.
Our tube fill and seal machines cover various applications and can be customised according to your production needs. Additional stirring devices, saddle folding equipment, or other individual modules comprising our filling and sealing machines are available in manual, semi-automatic, and automatic versions according to your production requirements.
Application
Regardless of the viscosity of the substances or liquid being filled, tube fill and seal machines can easily be integrated into several production sectors such as pharmaceutical, FMCG, cosmetics and chemical industries.
Any viscous substance like an ointment, cream, syrup, sauce and paste, shampoo and liquid soap, lotion, serum, glue, paint, and viscous pesticide are suited to tube fill and seal packaging.
Advantages
- A vertical no-tube no-fill dosing system is fitted with smart sensors to detect missing tubes.
- An adjustable dust aspiration vacuum ensures accurate cleaning without air entrapment.
- An intuitive HMI (human-machine interface) system with PLC(programmable logic controller) display allows continuous monitoring, fast error detection, calibration and easy dosing speed and volume adjustment.
- Additional quality-control sensors detect reversed or jammed tubes and air pressure drops.
- Complete accessibility to work the area ensures easy cleaning of all stainless steel contact parts.
How it works
- Tube fill and seal machines are highly technical, twin-channel linear filling and sealing machines that collect tubes from tube buckets and feed them through an automatic tube feeding device that automatically inserts the tubes into cup seats in a vertical position.
- As the cup seats rotate in line, an adjustable dust aspiration and vacuum device will clean the tubes’ insides before a lockable cone hopper positions the tubes in the dosing station. A pneumatic quantitative filling valve designed to preserve homogeneity and product temperature then automatically fills tubes according to prescribed parameters before they are conveyed down the line to the sealing station.
- Factoring in the tubes’ material composition and diameter, a mechanical heat seal and crimper will instantly seal each tube’s top end before a coding device prints the manufacturing date and batch number onto the tube’s tail.
- Each machine also comprises an automatic tube discharge station where finished tubes are collected into a tube collection vessel.
