A plastic & lami tube filling sealing machine is specialized equipment used in various industries, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals, to fill and seal plastic and laminated tubes with products like creams, gels, ointments, toothpaste, and other semi-solid or liquid substances. The equipment listed below is suitable for filling and sealing plastic tubes and laminated tubes.
The Main Components
Tube Feeding System:
Automatic or Manual Feeding: Tubes are fed into the machine either manually or via an automatic tube feeder.
Orientation: Ensures proper alignment of tubes using sensors and orientation systems to ensure the printed side is correctly positioned.
Filling System:
Filling Mechanism: Equipped with volumetric or weight-based filling systems to accurately dispense the desired amount of product into each tube.
Nozzle: Designed to enter the tube and fill from the bottom up to minimize air pockets and ensure consistent filling.
Sealing System:
Heating Elements: Uses hot air, ultrasonic, or impulse sealing to create a strong, airtight seal.
Cooling Station: After sealing, a cooling station ensures the seal is set and hardened.
Cutting and Trimming:
Trimming Mechanism: Excess tube material at the seal is trimmed to create a neat, professional finish.
Date Coding: Optional integration of coding devices to print batch numbers, expiration dates, or other information on the seal area.
Control System:
PLC Control: Advanced machines are equipped with PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for easy operation, control, and monitoring.
Touch Screen Interface: User-friendly interface for setting parameters, monitoring performance, and troubleshooting.
Safety Features:
Sensors: To detect tube presence, alignment, and filling status, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Emergency Stop: Provides immediate halt in operations in case of an emergency to prevent accidents.
Functions and Process Flow
Tube Loading: Tubes are loaded into the feeding system manually or automatically.
Tube Orientation: Tubes are oriented correctly using sensors to ensure proper alignment for printing and sealing.
Filling: The product is filled into the tubes using a nozzle that minimizes air entrapment and ensures accurate filling.
Sealing: Filled tubes are sealed using heat, ultrasonic, or impulse sealing techniques.
Cooling: Sealed tubes are cooled to ensure the seal sets properly.
Trimming and Coding: Excess material is trimmed, and optional coding is applied.
Ejection: Finished tubes are ejected from the machine for packaging.
