Configure filling, tube orientation, hot-air sealing, coding and discharge around your actual SPF formula, PE or laminated tube, fill volume and accepted output—not around a catalog speed alone.
Two sunscreen products with the same label claim can require different hopper, agitation, feeding, nozzle and test arrangements.
The station sequence is configured around the approved tube and product. Each step should appear in the technical agreement and be challenged during FAT.
Present empty tubes consistently to the configured holders.
Use the tube eye mark and sensor setup to align the printed panel.
Dose the qualified sunscreen through the selected hopper, pump and nozzle path.
Develop nozzle motion and tail control around stringing and drip behavior.
Apply the configured hot-air process to the approved PE, ABL or PBL tube.
Close and shape the heated tube end with the agreed tooling.
Apply the selected batch-code or embossing arrangement and finish the seal.
Release finished tubes for weight, appearance, code and seal verification.
| Parameter | Published TF-60 reference | Project confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Operating speed | 30–50 tubes/min maximum range | Confirm with the final volume, tube and product. |
| Filling range | 5–250 ml | Define each SKU and target fill tolerance. |
| Tube diameter | 13–50 mm | Approve every diameter and its dedicated holder/tooling. |
| Tube length | 50–210 mm | Longer tubes require project review. |
| Tube material | PE and ABL/PBL laminated tubes | Seal trials must use the supplied production tube. |
| Product-contact parts | 316L stainless steel | Confirm the final product path and certificates required. |
| Machine body | 304 stainless steel | Review access, guarding and cleaning scope. |
| Control platform | Siemens PLC, HMI and frequency inverter | Confirm language, recipes, alarms and data requirements. |
| Hot-air generator | LEISTER, 3 kW | Develop the seal window for the approved tube. |
| Pneumatic supply | 0.5–0.7 MPa; published consumption 1.1 m³/min | Check available pressure, quality and connection. |
| Electrical supply | 380/220 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz reference | Specify destination voltage and frequency before order. |
| Dimensions | 1950 × 1000 × 1800 mm | Verify access, service clearance and line interfaces. |
| Approximate weight | 850 kg | Confirm handling route and floor requirement. |
Published values are selection references, not unconditional production guarantees. Final scope and acceptance depend on approved samples, tooling, utilities, settings, options and test conditions.
Consider for temperature-sensitive, settling or fast-thickening products after product trials.
Define the transfer pump, level control, source vessel and product-return strategy.
List every tube diameter, length and requested seal shape as separate quotation items.
Use this matrix to brief the supplier. The final configuration should be confirmed with representative product and packaging samples.
Check product feed, hopper pressure or level, piston sizing, nozzle cut-off and fill-weight repeatability.
Risk: stringing and incomplete cut-offCheck zinc or titanium dispersion, settling over the run, agitation need, temperature control and cleanability.
Risk: settling and concentration driftCheck aeration, splash, nozzle shut-off, speed window and fill verification at the smallest dose.
Risk: drip and foamingCheck color carryover, cleaning evidence, contact-surface finish, tube handling and cosmetic seal appearance.
Risk: visible contamination and rejects= slowest proven station × agreed acceptance rate
State the product, fill volume, tube, run duration, rejects, interventions and restart method used in the result.
A useful quotation should expose every assumption that changes the machine, tooling, test scope, documentation, delivery and site work.
Formula type, viscosity range, temperature, density, mineral loading, foaming and safety information.
PE/ABL/PBL structure, diameter, length, cap, artwork eye mark, seal shape and physical samples.
Every fill volume, tube format, expected campaign size and planned changeover frequency.
Required accepted tubes per minute or shift—not only the nominal machine rate.
Fill, seal, code, reject, cleaning and FAT acceptance methods with sample quantities.
Voltage, air, space, interfaces, documents, installation, training and support boundary.
Ask HIJ to separate the base machine, format parts, feeding options, coding, inspection, documentation, FAT and site services.
For a wider project, compare the automatic cosmetic filling line, an automatic cartoning machine and downstream case packing machines.
HIJ Machinery team at an industry exhibition. Use the project review to confirm the engineers, documentation and service scope assigned to your order.
Send production-representative sunscreen and tubes before the machine and tooling are finalized.
Put product, pack, speed, defects, sampling and FAT evidence into the technical agreement.
Separate supplier scope, buyer scope, optional equipment, site utilities and downstream interfaces.
Agree documentation, remote support, spare parts, installation and training before purchase.
The published configuration is intended for sunscreen creams, SPF lotions and comparable cosmetic products that can be qualified through the selected product path. Viscosity, mineral loading, temperature, aeration and cleanability should be tested with representative product.
The published references are 5–250 ml, tube diameters of 13–50 mm and tube lengths of 50–210 mm. Every requested SKU should still be listed and confirmed in the quotation.
The published maximum operating range is 30–50 tubes per minute. Accepted output depends on fill volume, product behavior, tube quality, sealing conditions, coding, inspection, stops and the agreed acceptance rate.
The published machine scope includes compatible PE and ABL/PBL laminated tubes using a configured hot-air sealing route. Final seal settings and acceptance must be developed with the supplied production tube.
It may. Settling, concentration drift and temperature sensitivity can require agitation, a heated hopper or a different product-feeding arrangement. The decision should follow trials with the buyer’s actual formula.
Define the measurement method, instrument, sample size, frequency, product condition and individual acceptance limits. Do not rely on a percentage without the test basis.
Request separate line items for the base machine, every format set, product feeding, hopper options, sealing tooling, coding, inspection, documentation, FAT, installation, training, spare parts and site services.
Send representative sunscreen, empty tubes for every format, caps, artwork or eye-mark details, finished-pack requirements and enough material for the agreed trials. Also state the output and acceptance criteria.
Send the formula behavior, tube drawings and samples, fill-volume range, accepted output and FAT requirements. HIJ can return an itemized machine, tooling and test scope.
