Automatic Tube Filling Machine
The Automatic Tube Filling Machine is a high-performance, GMP-compliant system engineered for precise filling and sealing of tubes used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, personal care, and chemical industries. Designed to handle laminated, plastic, and aluminum tubes, this machine efficiently fills creams, gels, ointments, pastes, and other semi-viscous products into tubes with consistent accuracy and speed.

Equipped with advanced PLC control, a user-friendly HMI touchscreen, and a robust mechanical design, this machine ensures hygienic filling, reliable sealing, and consistent production output.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION :

  • No. of Filling Heads: 1/2
  • Suitable Filling Containers: Plastic & Glass Jars, Bottles, Metal Tins, etc.
  • Suitable Material to Fill: Coffee Powder, Talcum Powder, Pharmaceutical Powders, etc.
  • Machine Output: 12 to 60 BPM
  • Filling Volume: 30 to 250 g
  • Power Supply: Three Phase + Neutral + Earthing

Key Features :

  • Wide Tube Compatibility
    Suitable for laminated, aluminum, and plastic tubes of various diameters and lengths.
  • High-Precision Filling System
    Volumetric piston or servo-based filling ensures accurate dosing, adjustable by touchscreen.
  • Sealing Options
    • Hot air sealing for plastic/Lami tubes
    • Folding and crimping for aluminum tubes
    • Coding options for batch and expiry dates
  • Automatic Tube Orientation
    Photocell-based orientation system ensures the tube is filled and sealed in the correct position (for printed tubes).
  • No Tube – No Fill Safety
    Sensor-based detection system prevents filling unless a tube is present.
  • Stainless Steel Construction
    Built with SS304 frame and SS316L contact parts to ensure hygiene and durability.
  • Quick Changeover Design
    Tool-free changeovers reduce downtime when switching tube sizes or products.

SALIENT FEATURES :

  • SS 304 Body Structure and MS base Plate with SS cladding or hard chrome plating of all exposed parts to ensure long life and resistance against corrosion.
  • Elegantly designed and constructed to meet the customer’s requirements.
  • Servo Driven Auger Based Filling System.
  • Suitable for filling Free Flowing Liquids.
  • SS Frame structure with Acrylic Doors. (Optional)
  • PLC with HMI Touch Screen for all Operational Controls.
  • Inbuilt SS-304 100 kg Storage Hopper above the machine for easy filling arrangement.
  • SS-304 Slat Conveyor with VFD for Speed Control.

Working Principle

Tubes are loaded into a tube holder on a rotary indexing turret. A sensor detects the tube’s mark for orientation. The product is filled into the tube through a nozzle, after which the tube is sealed using a hot air system or mechanical crimping (depending on tube type). Sealed tubes are then ejected automatically to the discharge chute. The entire operation is controlled via a central PLC and HMI interface, allowing recipe settings and diagnostics.

Applications :

The machine is suitable for filling:

  • Pharmaceuticals: Ointments, creams, antiseptic gels
  • Cosmetics: Face creams, lip balm, lotions, hair gels
  • Food Products: Sauces, pastes, peanut butter
  • Chemicals: Adhesives, industrial greases, silicone pastes
