In the packaging industry, the tube filling and sealing machine is a necessary part of ornamental and daily chemical products. Whether it's toothpaste, facial cleaner, or hand cream, the tube filling and sealing machine is used to fill and seal these products. Understanding the working process of a tube filler and sealer can help manufacturers improve product effectiveness.
1. Basic Working Principle of a Tube Filling and Sealing Machine
(1) Overview of the Automated Process
The tube filling and sealing machine is an automated tube packaging machine. It combines tube feeding, tube filling, and tube sealing in an automated process. A tube filler and sealer uses its mechanical components and automated systems to process empty tubes into finished products in an efficient working process.
(2) Applicable Materials and Industries
- The tube filling and sealing machine applies to plastic tubes and laminated tubes. Cosmetic products (hand cream, body lotion)
- Daily chemical products (facial cleanser, toothpaste)
- Food products (sauces, mustard)
2. Working Process of a Tube Filling and Sealing Machine
1. Tube Feeding and Positioning
The working process of a tube filling and sealing machine starts with tube feeding. In this process, empty tubes are fed into the tube filler and sealer's rotary table. In an advanced tube filler and sealer, an automatic tube orientation function is used to enhance working accuracy.
2. Filling Process
The filling process is the most important part of the tube filler and sealer. The majority of tube filling and sealing machines utilize a servo piston pump system to control the volume of the filling process. This ensures that the tubes are filled with the correct and precise volume of the product.
For instance, SUNHAN’s piston pump soft tube filling and sealing machine performs efficiently during the filling process
- Filling speed reaches 30–50 tubes per minute, improving production efficiency
- Servo piston pump control ensures accurate and stable filling
- Compatible with various materials such as creams, lotions, and semi-fluid products
- Adopts a diving nozzle design to prevent filling material from sticking to the tube wall.
The tube filler and sealer can perform well in terms of efficiency and quality.
3. Sealing and Forming
The tube filling and sealing machine performs the sealing process after the filling process. The majority of tube fillers and sealers utilize the heat sealing and ultrasonic sealing methods. The ultrasonic sealing method is the most popular and cleanest sealing process. This sealing process is mostly used in the production of high-quality products.
3. Technical Advantages of Tube Filling and Sealing Machine
(1) High Efficiency and Automation
The tube filler and sealer is equipped with the latest technology. The majority of tube fillers and sealers are designed with integrated functions. The tube filling and sealing machine performs the tube feeding process, filling process, and sealing process in one unit.
(2) Precision Control System
With advanced servo systems and piston pump technology, a tube filling and sealing machine can achieve filling accuracy of up to ±1%, ensuring consistent product quality.
(3) Wide Application Range
It is not only suitable for cosmetic and daily chemical products. As it is made of food-grade stainless steel, it can also be used in food packaging, which greatly expands its range of applications.
