Overview
Designed for efficient, clean and stable production, this equipment handles tube filling and sealing for oral care, pharmaceutical, personal care and food products. The fully automatic operating system completes tube feeding, dust removal, registration, optional internal foreign-matter inspection, filling, heating, sealing, coding, trimming, seal inspection, finished-product discharge and reject removal.
Key Features
- Single-color or custom three-color filling pumps handle materials ranging from low-viscosity liquids and fibrous media to high-viscosity pastes. Independently adjustable pumps supply each color, including materials of different viscosities.
- The dust-removal station uses a mechanical cam for consistent operation. Clean compressed air blows into the tube while a blower extracts contaminants, providing a clean container for filling.
- Optional internal inspection uses two high-resolution industrial cameras to photograph each tube interior. Image comparison identifies foreign matter and marks affected tubes for rejection before filling.
- Two high-precision cameras inspect sealed and trimmed tube ends from different angles. Vision analysis checks sealing integrity, symmetry and leakage characteristics, as well as smooth, burr-free trimming. Nonconforming tubes are separated at the downstream rejection station.

Line Components
The tube elevator combines mechanical and electrical control. PLC control, speed adjustment and photoelectric switches monitor tube positions in the sealer's tube slots to synchronize lifting and sealing. Tube-contact parts use 304 stainless steel to prevent contamination. The system accommodates metal, composite and PE tubes, with convenient adjustment for different diameters. At 160 tubes/min, lifting remains continuous and stable, without tube jams or abnormal mechanical noise.

An open balcony-style design simplifies cleaning and maintenance. Beckhoff full-servo control supports stable operation and convenient format adjustment. Timing-belt transmission requires no lubrication. Front and rear timing belts transfer products through quick-release tooling compatible with different carton lengths, widths and heights, as well as various stick-pack products. Simple adjustments enable format changes without replacing many mechanical parts; adjustable A/B magazines accommodate multiple product types.
- Process: front product conveying, carton picking and opening, product insertion, carton conveying, flap closing and optional gluing, followed by finished-product conveying.
- Vacuum suction cups remove cartons from a magazine that is filled manually.
- The carton pressing device stabilizes cartons during transport and prevents them from bouncing.
- Servo-driven linkages, guide elements and push plates close carton flaps while cartons are moving.
- The suction mechanism combines servo-driven rotation with internal pulleys and timing belts to pick cartons, pre-open them and place them into the carton conveyor. Conveyor parts fully open and locate the cartons before transfer to subsequent stations.
