An aluminum laminated plastic tube filling machine is an industrial machine used to fill products into tubes that are composed of layers of plastic laminated with a layer of aluminum. These tubes are widely used in the packaging industry for products such as creams, lotions, gels, ointments, topical medicines, beauty and personal care products, among others. See how a plastic tube filling machine laminated with aluminum works:
What is a plastic tube filling machine laminated with aluminum used for:
Precise Filling: These machines are designed to accurately and consistently fill products into plastic tubes laminated with aluminum.
Product Preservation: The hermetic seal provided by the aluminum in the tube helps protect the product against oxidation, contamination and deterioration, prolonging its useful life and maintaining product quality.
Ease of Use: They are ideal for production environments that require efficiency and speed when filling products into tubes.
How a plastic tube filling machine laminated with aluminum works:
Product Preparation: The product to be filled, such as a cream or lotion, is prepared and placed in a storage tank of the machine.
Tube Feeding: Empty plastic tubes laminated with aluminum are fed into the machine, generally via a conveyor belt.
Filling: A filling system measures and dispenses the precise amount of product into the tube. This can be done using a piston or another mechanism, depending on the type of machine.
Sealing: After filling, the machine seals the tube. This generally involves sealing the top of the tube, which has a layer of aluminum, airtight.
Printing (Optional): Some machines may include a printing system to add label information or expiration date to the tubes.
Quality Control: The filled and sealed tubes undergo quality control to ensure the integrity of the seal and the correct quantity of product.
Final Packaging: Properly filled and sealed tubes are ready for labeling and final packaging.
Aluminum laminated plastic tube fillers play an important role in the production of products that require effective product protection, especially when it comes to products sensitive to light, oxygen or contamination. They are common in the personal care, pharmaceutical and beauty products industries, where product quality and shelf life are paramount.
In industry, there are several types of tubes that are used to package and dispense products of different natures and viscosities. Each type of tube is designed to meet specific needs, and the choice of tube type depends on the product to be packaged, consumer preferences and conditions of use. Some of the most common types of tubes used in industry include:
Plastic Tubes Laminated with Aluminum: These tubes have a layer of aluminum on the inside, which makes them ideal for products sensitive to light and oxygen, such as creams, lotions, ointments and topical medications.
Traditional Plastic Tubes: These are tubes made entirely of plastic, suitable for products that are not sensitive to light and oxygen. They are common for products such as toothpaste, hair gels and cleaning products.
Metal tubes: They are made of metal, usually aluminum, and are often used for products such as paints, adhesives, greases and sealants.
High Density Polyethylene (PE) Tubes: They are resistant to chemicals and are often used for industrial products such as lubricants, sealants and chemicals.
Low Density Polyethylene (PE) Tubes: They are more flexible and are common in personal care products, such as shampoos, conditioners and liquid soaps.
Polypropylene (PP) tubes: These are used for products that require high impact and temperature resistance, such as pharmaceutical products, toothpastes and skin care products.
PVC tubes: These are used in products such as adhesives, sealants and chemicals, especially when chemical resistance is required.
Eco-Friendly Material Tubes: Some companies are adopting tubes made from more environmentally friendly materials, such as recycled plastic or bioplastic, in response to environmental concerns.
Biodegradable Material Tubes: They are made with biodegradable materials and are used in more sustainable products, such as cosmetics and ecological cleaning products.
The choice of tube type depends on factors such as the product to be packaged, product protection needs, consumer preferences and applicable regulations. Each type of tube has its own sealing, barrier and durability characteristics, which make them suitable for different industrial applications. |
