Description
Automatic LAMI Tube Filling Machine is popular due to its syringe pump housing and rotary piston fitting device and that too with a blow-off device pneumatic tail cut-off. Fully automatic tube filling machines offered by us have a high speed filling up to 60 tubes/minute. We are having two different models of tube filling machine which do 30 per minute and 60 per minute respectively.
It also has a jacketed single head type hopper with a capacity of about 40 liters approx. You will also find an automatic cassette loader for loading the tubes. Besides, there are orientation sensors and a stepper motor.
Our automatic tube filler has a label sensor and controller. Made with stainless steel spring loaded change parts which are 12 in numbers, also make the operation seamless and hassle-free. There is a temperature controller with a tubular heater of 3 KW.

Working Principle of Tube Filling Machine
Working Principle of the machine is semi mechanical and pneumatic. The machine has a rotary table made of aluminum in which the sockets of different tube sizes can be placed, This rotary table is systematically indexed and timed to perform operation on different stages.
The machine being automatic in which operator has to load cassette with tubes in bulk, then tubes are collected one by one at a time and loaded automatically in the rotary aluminum dish. Further during indexing of the tubes Vacuum Cleaning, Filling, Hot Air Blowing, Sealing & Trimming operations performed. Below is the details of process machine follows sequentially:
Loading Section:
This section is pneumatically operated and has a vacuum cup that collects the tube and a fixing arm drives the tubes to the socket placed on the rotating dish.
Orientation:
In the the station the loaded tubes is orientated to its face as per the eye mark provided on the tube. There are two individual motors along with eye mark sending units which direct the stepper motor to stop on sending the eye mark line.
Vacuum Cleaning:
This section has a diving nozzle which is attached to the vacuum pump which helps in cleaning of the tubes for any foreign object.
Filling:
This is mechanically operated section which has a plain hopper capacity of 35 liters. The positive section filler sucks the set desired volume of ointment/cream and dispense it in the tube, later to be cut off by an pneumatic air operated device. This ensures clean seal area and weight accuracy in each and every tube. The filling section is suitable to fill 10 grams to 250 grams.
Hot Air Blowing:
In this section the upper internal layer of the tube is blowed by pre-heated air that is passed through a heater (“Liester” make) of 2.5 K.W. and capable of heating up to 700 degrees, the temperature is controlled by digital (PID) temperature controller and the Air Pressure controlled by air regulator and Pressure Gauges. This section also ensures that the air blown does not come in direct contact with the filled material. There is constant water circulation on the outer SS part where the tubes have chances to come in contact with. The part being under room temperature keeps the outer print of the tube intact.
Sealing:
This is a pneumatically operated area, it has straight lined sealing jaws with on jaw being capable of holding 10 digits for embossing on the tube when it is sealed.
Trimming:
This also is a pneumatically operated section which trims the upper excess layer of the sealed tube to provide it a clean smooth finish.
Note: Inkjet Coding arrangement can be offered in the machine with optional Inkek Jet Printer as per specific order requirements.

FAQ of Automatic LAMI Tube Filling Machine
What is the filling range and hopper capacity?
It can fill volumes from 10 ml to 200 ml (also noted as suitable for 10 grams to 250 grams of ointment/cream). The machine includes a jacketed single-head type hopper with a capacity of approximately 40 liters (or a plain hopper of about 35 liters in the filling section description).
What operations does the machine perform in sequence?
The fully automatic process includes: automatic tube loading from a cassette, orientation (using eye-mark sensors and a stepper motor), vacuum cleaning of tubes, precise filling, hot air blowing for sealing preparation, sealing (with optional embossing of up to 10 digits), and trimming for a clean finish. Optional inkjet coding can also be added.
How does the orientation and tube handling system work?
Tubes are automatically loaded via a pneumatic vacuum-cup system into sockets on a 12-station rotary aluminum table (Geneva-type indexing). An orientation station uses stepper motors (ITW or STEPSYNN make) with color photo sensors to align each tube according to its eye mark before further processing.
