Configure filling, registration, hot-air sealing, coding and trimming around your actual cream or gel, tube material, dimensions, artwork and accepted output.
Start with the product and pack, not the machine label. A useful quotation must match the formula behavior, tube construction, dimensions, closure method and accepted output.
Fastest selection check: send one empty tube, one filled sample, the tube drawing, product data and intended retail appearance.
Each station belongs to one validated process. Final settings depend on the approved formula, tube, artwork, closure requirement and test plan.
Present preformed tubes consistently and rotate each tube to the registered artwork position when an eye-mark system is specified.
Feed the qualified cream or gel through the selected hopper, pump, hose and nozzle using settings developed with representative product.
Control the tube tail, internal heating route and contamination boundary before the closing operation begins.
Apply the agreed hot-air sealing process to the confirmed PE, PBL or ABL tube construction and verify the finished seam.
Apply the required batch information, trim the tail profile and maintain artwork-to-seal alignment within the agreed window.
Transfer finished tubes for visual, weight, code, seal-integrity and downstream packaging checks defined in the acceptance plan.
Accepted tubes/min should be calculated from the slowest proven station and the agreed acceptance rate—not from an isolated catalog speed.
Tube names alone are not enough. Confirm the wall structure, barrier layer, diameter, length, cap, artwork, eye mark and required seam appearance before tooling release.
| Tube route | Typical project fit | Process to confirm | Evidence to approve |
|---|---|---|---|
| PE tube | Creams, lotions, gels and personal-care products | Hot-air temperature, dwell time, tail compression, trimming and coding | Drawing, resin/tube reference, filled samples, seam appearance and integrity test |
| PBL tube | Products needing a plastic barrier-laminate format | Laminate response, registration, sealing window and tail profile | Exact laminate, artwork, eye mark, dimensional tolerance and accepted seam |
| ABL tube | Barrier-sensitive products using aluminum-barrier laminate | Heating response, layer protection, seal window and print alignment | Approved ABL construction, samples, leak/integrity method and opening requirement |
| Aluminum tube | Metal tubes requiring a fold or crimped tail | A dedicated metal-tube closing configuration—not the standard hot-air head | Tube hardness, coating, fold pattern, batch code and closure acceptance criteria |
A material family may include different layer structures and suppliers. Final compatibility must be proven with the actual tube and product.
Use these published values for preliminary engineering only. The signed quotation and technical agreement define the final configuration and acceptance basis.
The same model can produce different results after the product path, tooling, tube handling, coding, inspection and downstream scope are defined.
Define heating, mixing, agitation, vacuum, hopper capacity, level control and transfer conditions where required.
Match the metering system, valves, hoses and nozzle to viscosity, dose range, stringing, foaming and cleaning access.
List every tube format, cap, dimensional tolerance, magazine requirement, orientation mark and format part.
Agree the sealing route, tail geometry, cooling, trimming, embossing or batch coding and readable-code checks.
Define fill checks, presence/orientation checks, closure defects, alarms, reject confirmation and sample retention.
Assign interfaces for product feed, chiller, coding, checkweighing, labeling, cartoning, accumulation and site utilities.
Minimum FAT evidence: controlled inputs, normal run, representative challenges, changeover, cleaning access, alarms, rejects, signed results and an open-item list.
The reference video shows the general equipment route. It does not replace trials with your actual cream, gel, sunscreen or ointment and the final tube construction.
Face cream, hand cream, lotion, sunscreen, gel, ointment, cleanser and toothpaste-like products after compatibility review.
Inspection, checkweighing, labeling, leaflet insertion, cartoning, case packing and serialization where specified.
Review tube loading, filling, sealing, trimming and discharge before defining your own acceptance test.
A useful price is an itemized project scope. It should show the machine, tooling, product path, options, testing, documentation, delivery boundary and site services separately.
Two machines with the same model name can carry different scopes after tube formats, dosing system, seal route, coding, inspection, utilities and FAT requirements are included.
Review Price DriversAfter product trials, a configured system may handle creams, lotions, gels, sunscreens, ointments, cleansers and toothpaste-like products. Viscosity, temperature, foaming, stringing, particulates and cleanability must be reviewed.
The published TF-60 route references PE, PBL and ABL tubes with hot-air sealing. Every construction, supplier, diameter, length, artwork and cap still needs confirmation, and format parts may be shared or dedicated.
Metal tubes normally require a dedicated folding or crimping configuration rather than the standard hot-air sealing head. Send the aluminum-tube drawing and samples so the correct closing route can be selected.
The published maximum range is 30–50 tubes per minute. Accepted production output depends on the formula, fill volume, tube format, coding, inspection, changeovers, staffing and agreed test conditions.
The published reference range is 5–250 ml. The usable range and accuracy for a specific project must be proven with the selected dosing system and representative product.
Provide representative bulk product, empty tubes, filled reference packs, tube and cap drawings, artwork, code requirements, SKU list, fill range and intended acceptance checks.
It should identify the base machine, dosing path, format parts, tube feeding and orientation, sealing and trimming, coding, inspection, rejects, utilities, documentation, FAT, delivery boundary and site services.
Yes, when the interface is designed into the project. Confirm discharge height, transfer method, accumulation, speed signals, reject responsibility and the required cartoning or case-packing route.
Send the product, dose, tube, output and acceptance information. HIJ can use those inputs to define a comparable machine, tooling, option and test scope.
Formula type, viscosity, temperature, particulates, foaming, stringing and cleaning needs.
Tube material, drawings, samples, cap, artwork, eye mark, code and tail profile.
Fill range, SKU mix, accepted output, staffing, shifts, changeovers and rejects.
Weight checks, tube orientation, readable code, seal integrity and reject confirmation.
Upstream product feed, chiller, coding, labeling, cartoning and accumulation interfaces.
FAT duration, samples, challenge tests, documents, training and site-service boundary.
