Composite / Plastic / Aluminum Tube Filling and Sealing Machine: A Complete Guide

In today’s competitive packaging industry, tube filling and sealing machines play a crucial role in ensuring efficiency, product safety, and brand presentation. Among them, the composite tube filling machine, plastic tube filling machine, and aluminum tube filling machine are widely used across cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and chemical industries. These machines not only improve productivity but also guarantee consistent sealing quality for various types of tubes.

What is a Tube Filling and Sealing Machine?

A tube filling and sealing machine is an automated device designed to fill viscous or semi-viscous products into tubes and seal them securely. Depending on the material of the tube—laminated (composite), plastic, or aluminum—the machine adopts different sealing technologies such as heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, or folding.

Suitable Applications

  • Cosmetics: toothpaste, creams, gels, lotions.

  • Pharmaceuticals: ointments, antiseptic gels, medicinal creams.

  • Food Products: mayonnaise, sauces, honey.

  • Industrial Chemicals: adhesives, lubricants, silicone gels.

Key Features of Composite / Plastic / Aluminum Tube Filling and Sealing Machines

  • Versatility – Can handle multiple tube materials (laminated, PE, aluminum).

  • Accurate Filling – High-precision dosing system, ±1% accuracy.

  • Hygienic Design – Stainless steel structure, complies with GMP standards.

  • User-Friendly Operation – PLC control with touchscreen interface.

  • Customizable Options – Suitable for different tube diameters, lengths, and sealing types.

  • High Efficiency – Speeds of 30–120 tubes/min depending on model.

Workflow of a Tube Filling and Sealing Machine

  1. Tube Loading & Orientation – Empty tubes are fed into the machine and oriented to ensure correct positioning.

  2. Filling Process – The product is dispensed into the tube with high precision (piston or pump filling).

  3. Sealing –

    • Plastic/Composite Tubes: Heat sealing or ultrasonic sealing.

    • Aluminum Tubes: Folding or crimping.

  4. Coding & Trimming – Expiry date, batch number, and lot codes are added; excess material is trimmed.

  5. Finished Tube Discharge – Completed tubes are automatically discharged for packaging and distribution.

Customer Case Study

A Middle Eastern cosmetics manufacturer approached us with a major problem: their old semi-automatic tube filling process caused inconsistent filling volumes, weak sealing on plastic tubes, and high labor costs. This led to product leakage, customer complaints, and a loss of brand reputation.

After installing our automatic composite/plastic/aluminum tube filling and sealing machine, they achieved:

  • 40% increase in production output.

  • Perfect sealing quality, reducing leakage complaints to zero.

  • Labor cost reduction by 50% thanks to automation.

  • Ability to switch between plastic cosmetic tubes and aluminum ointment tubes with minimal changeover.

This solution not only solved their packaging challenges but also helped them expand their product lines into international markets.
