The Plastic Tube Filling Machine is a high-performance system engineered to handle filling and sealing requirements for plastic and laminated tubes. Its versatility, precision, and compliance make it indispensable for industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food.

Tube filling and packing machine manufactured by us is specifically designed with excellent tube orientation system and fantastic accuracy. This plastic tube filler is suitable for tube filling and sealing in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industry. The most common uses of this tube filling and sealing machine is filling gel, paste, balm, cream and ointment apart from other viscous products by using a volumetric dosing system.

Lami tube filling machine is constructed with mild steel angles and it is also painted for a great and smooth finish. All contact parts of the machine are made of high quality stainless steel 304. The filling mechanism of plastic tube filler machine is driven mechanically and has a positive suction pump assembly. The machine comes equipped with an advanced ‘No tube-No filling’ sensor system which is connected to a pneumatic cylinder which allows filling only when a tube is present at the filling point. The machine also ensures a clean cut-off and weight accuracy. Our plastic tube filler does filling, sealing and trimming with astonishing precision. It also has pneumatic blades to provide smooth finish once the trimming process is complete.

If needed, you can go for optional accessories such as automatic tube orientation system, jacketed hopper with stirrer, air compressor and an extra size syringe set.

A Machine Built for Modern Demands

Designed with a compact, cGMP-compliant structure, the Plastic Tube Filling Machine delivers reliability in a variety of packaging setups. It features stainless steel contact parts for hygiene and long-lasting durability. Its modular design enables quick maintenance and easy adjustments, making it a practical choice for dynamic production environments.

The hot air sealing mechanism ensures that every tube is securely sealed, preserving the integrity of the filled product. This feature is especially beneficial for sensitive formulations requiring airtight packaging.

How It Works

  1. Tube Loading: Tubes are fed into the machine manually or through an automated loading system.
  2. Accurate Filling: The product is dispensed into the tubes using a precision volumetric dosing system.
  3. Hot Air Sealing: Heat is applied to the tube ends to create a secure and leak-proof seal.
  4. Embossing Batch Codes: Details like batch numbers and manufacturing dates are imprinted on the sealed tubes.
  5. Output and Collection: Finished tubes are ejected onto a conveyor, ready for further packaging.

This automated workflow reduces manual intervention while maintaining high levels of accuracy and efficiency.

High Output for Large-Scale Production

The Plastic Tube Filling Machine handles up to 60 tubes per minute, depending on the model and configuration. Its filling accuracy, maintained within ±1%, ensures consistency across all batches. The “No Tube – No Filling” feature further optimises productivity by preventing product wastage when tubes are absent.

Working Principle of Tube Filling Machine

The machine built simple and sturdy with a very compact design to reduce the working area very user friendly.

The machine made of mild steel angle and plates duly painted to smooth finish and outer covered to Stainless Steel covers. The filling area contact parts made of SS 316 Q steel including the hopper. The filling mechanism is mechanically driven with a positive suction pump assembly. Syringe can be provided as per the fill volume of different variants One with each machine. No tube no filling process sensors connected to a pneumatic cylinder which enables filling only when the tube is sensed at the filling area. Machine with pneumatic cut off for accurate filling, mechanical cut off device also available at extra cost.

The heating of the Lami or the plastic tubes is done by a Standard heater which has a capability of attaining max temperature up to 700 deg during constant air flow is on. At the heating section the tube is lifted inside the heater part by which only the area to be sealed is heated without affecting the filled material. The sealing of the Lami and the plastic tube is done in a single station with pneumatic jaws which has provision of holding no in its made pockets. After the sealing the trimming if also done by pneumatic blades to give the tube a smooth finish.

Batch types of numeric 0 to 9 are provided with the machine. Extra types can be bought as extra.
