会社のニュース Tube Filling Machine

A tube filling machine is a piece of automated equipment designed to accurately fill, seal, and often trim various types of tubes, including plastic, laminated, and aluminum tubes, with semi-solid or viscous products such as toothpaste, creams, ointments, and gels. These machines are crucial in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, and food industries, providing clean and precise filling at high speeds, with sealing methods adapted to the tube material, such as hot-air or ultrasonic sealing for plastic/laminate tubes and folding/crimping for aluminum tubes.

1. Tube Feeding: Tubes are loaded into the machine, often automatically into holding cups.
2. Filling: The precisely measured product is dispensed into the open end of the tube.
3. Sealing: The end of the tube is sealed to prevent leakage.
4. Plastic/Laminate Tubes: Heated or ultrasonic sealing methods are used.
5. Aluminum Tubes: Mechanical folding and crimping devices are used.
6. Trimming (Optional): The sealed end of the tube may be trimmed for a neat finish.
7. Coding (Optional): A lot number or other coding can be embossed on the sealed area.
8. Discharge: The filled and sealed tube is then discharged for further processing or packaging.

• Pharmaceuticals: Ointments, creams, gels, and other semi-solid medications.
• Cosmetics: Creams, lotions, toothpaste, and gels.
• Food & Beverage: Certain pastes and viscous food products.
• Chemicals: Adhesives, glues, paints, and other chemical products.
