Rotary Worktable
This rotary worktable system integrates multiple processes into a streamlined, automated workflow, including:
Tube Feeding: Automated placement of tubes onto the worktable.
Positioning: Precise alignment of tubes for accurate processing.
Filling: Dispenses product into tubes with precise volume control.
Folding: Ensures secure, airtight sealing of tube ends.
Coding: Applies batch codes or production information onto the tube.
Ejection: Releases finished tubes from the worktable for collection.
1. Tube Feeding
The Tube Feeding system automates the process of placing empty tubes onto the worktable. Equipped with a tube sorting mechanism, this system ensures each tube is positioned upright and in the correct alignment for subsequent processing. It increases production efficiency by reducing manual handling, providing a smooth workflow for high-speed operations.
2. Positioning
The Positioning mechanism utilizes sensors to accurately align each tube before filling. This guarantees precise label or seam alignment, ensuring that each tube is correctly positioned for the filling, sealing, and coding stages. This process minimizes errors, reduces material waste, and ensures uniform output quality.
3. Filling
The Filling system is designed to handle a variety of product consistencies, from liquids to thick creams. With precise volumetric controls, the filling nozzle dispenses the exact amount of product required, reducing overfill or underfill. It supports a range of filling volumes to meet various production needs and ensure consistent, accurate filling every time.
4. Sealing & Coding
The Folding System on this automatic aluminum tube filling and sealing machine ensures a reliable, secure seal by precisely folding the tube end. This system supports multiple folding styles, including single, double, or triple folds, to create a tight, professional closure that prevents leaks and maintains the integrity of the product inside. The folding mechanism is designed for accuracy and consistency, resulting in a clean and attractive finish that meets industry standards for quality and durability. With adjustable settings, it accommodates various tube sizes and fold requirements, providing flexibility and control in the folding process.
The Coding Function allows for clear, accurate batch codes or expiration dates to be printed onto each tube during the sealing process. This function typically uses an adjustable coding wheel to apply codes at a precise location on the folded area, ensuring traceability and compliance with regulatory standards. The coding system is customizable, enabling the addition of important information such as lot numbers, manufacturing dates, or expiration details. High-speed operation and alignment features ensure that coding is legible, durable, and positioned consistently on each tube, enhancing the professional presentation and traceability of the finished product.
8. Ejection
The Ejection mechanism safely releases the processed tube from the worktable into a collection bin. This automated ejection ensures that each tube is promptly removed after processing, allowing for uninterrupted operation and reducing manual handling. It maximizes output and maintains a smooth production line.
Touch Screen
The Touch Screen interface offers a user-friendly control panel where operators can monitor and adjust machine settings, including speed, volume, temperature, and coding parameters. It also features error detection and diagnostic functions, allowing operators to quickly troubleshoot and maintain optimal machine performance.
Electric Box
The Electric Box houses all of the machine’s electrical components, including circuitry and safety switches. Designed for easy access and maintenance, this box ensures stable power supply and controls the machine’s automation functions. It is equipped with protective features to prevent overload and ensure operator safety.
Material Feeder
The Material Feeder provides a steady supply of product material directly to the filling system, ensuring continuous operation and reducing manual refilling needs. With adjustable flow control and a high-capacity hopper, the feeder maintains a consistent supply regardless of material viscosity, from thin liquids to thick pastes. The hopper is designed to minimize material wastage and includes anti-clogging features, guaranteeing smooth, uninterrupted operation during long production runs. The material feeder is also easy to clean, supporting fast changeovers between different products.
Transmission System
The Transmission System is a crucial component that powers the coordinated movement of the machine’s various stages, including tube feeding, positioning, filling, sealing, and ejection. It operates using precision-engineered gears, belts, and motors to ensure smooth, synchronized motion across all sections of the production line. This system enables accurate timing and alignment of each stage, allowing the machine to operate at high speeds without sacrificing precision.
