Semi Automatic Tube Filling And Sealing Machine

Product overview

Tube packaging requires several operations to occur in the correct sequence: an empty tube must be positioned, the required product quantity filled without unnecessary loss, the open end securely folded and sealed, batch information applied where required, and the finished tube discharged without additional manual handling.

The Semi Automatic Tube Filling And Sealing Machine combines these operations within a single indexed machine for compatible Lami and Aluminium tubes.

Technogen Enterprise offers the Semi Automatic Tube Filling And Sealing Machine as a Manufacturer and Supplier for Tanzania, serving Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic, Ayurveda and Nutraceutical production where creams, ointments, toothpaste, pastes and other compatible semi-solid products require tube packaging.

The machine uses one filling head and one sealing head. Empty tubes are manually placed into Nylon tube holders, after which the machine carries out filling, folding/sealing and automatic ejection.

A No Tube–No Fill mechanism detects tube presence before product dispensing. Once a tube is available, the filling pump delivers the selected quantity of product into the container.

Filled tubes are indexed towards the sealing section, where the open tube end passes through two folding stages. A coding arrangement can be incorporated for applying batch-manufacturing information to the folded tube end.

After completion of sealing, an ejection rod lifts the finished tube from its holder and transfers it towards the receiving hopper.

The machine handles tube diameters from 12 mm to 32 mm, tube heights from 55 mm to 190 mm, and filling quantities from 10 g to 150 g. Production can reach approximately 30–40 tubes per minute, depending upon filling-material properties and operator efficiency.

For Tanzania manufacturers that do not require a high-speed fully automatic tube line, the semi-automatic configuration provides an integrated filling-and-sealing system while retaining direct operator control over tube loading.

Working principle

• Empty Lami or Aluminium tubes are manually placed into the Nylon tube holders.
• The machine detects tube presence before initiating the filling cycle.
• The indexed holder moves the tube beneath the filling station.
• The Stainless Steel filling pump delivers the required quantity of cream, ointment, paste or other compatible product into the tube.
• After filling, the tube moves to the sealing section.
• The open end of the tube passes through two folding stages to form the seal.
• Where a coding unit is incorporated, batch information is applied to the folded tube end.
• The sealed tube then moves to the discharge station.
• An ejection rod lifts the finished tube from the Nylon holder, after which a tipper transfers it into the receiving hopper.
• Machine operating speed can be adjusted through the Variable Frequency Drive.

Applications & industries

The Semi Automatic Tube Filling And Sealing Machine is intended for compatible viscous, semi-viscous and semi-solid products packed in Lami or Aluminium tubes.

Pharmaceuticals

Suitable for compatible ointments, creams and topical pharmaceutical products.

Cosmetics

Applicable to creams, gels, pastes and similar cosmetic formulations.

Ayurveda

Can be used for compatible Ayurvedic creams, ointments and paste-based products.

Nutraceuticals

Suitable for compatible semi-solid products requiring tube packaging.

Other Tube Products

The machine information also identifies toothpaste, glues and other compatible paste or semi-solid materials as potential filling applications.

For manufacturers in Tanzania, its single-head semi-automatic format is useful where multiple tube products are manufactured in moderate batches and direct operator loading remains practical.

Application items

• Pharmaceutical cream filling.
• Ointment tube filling.
