What exactly is the tube filling machine principle?

An automatic tube filling machine is a device widely used in pharmaceutical industries. It is basically a machine which houses a tank to hold the semi-solid material that is to be filled, a pump to fill each tube that is attached to its mouth with the product and other little parts which help in this function. Usually an operator is required for changing the tubes and pressing the button that will fill it but apart from that, it is mostly automatic. There are a few advanced types available where everything is automatic but those are rare to find. The tube filling machine principle is such that it can fill any tube irrespective of its shape, size and capacity. 
These are the areas where tube filling machines are used often:
  1. Pharmaceutical industry: Medicinal semi-solid creams and lotions mostly come in tubes. Unlike cosmetic brands, they don’t come in bottles ever, which is why the broadest use of tube filling machines is seen in pharma companies. Tubes are needed often in the pharma industry for quick filling and usage 
  2. Cosmetic industry: Certain products in this industry can only be used via tubes so the tube filling machine becomes an indispensable part of the cosmetic manufacturing industry. 
  3. Food processing: Certain ingredients, chocolates and materials are packed into tubes. This is not used widely across the food industry, but more in food packaging and distributing sections.
  4. Pesticides manufacturing: Although tubes occupy little space in this industry, they do occupy some. You may not come across pesticides in tubes very often but they’re quite common.
What are some benefits of getting an automatic tube filling machine?
  1. It reduces labor charge: You will require unskilled labor to sit at a place and fill tubes for you every day. More than that, you’ll have to pay them for that. You can save cost and human effort if you just get a tube filling machine that performs all of its functions automatically.
  2. It makes the production process more efficient: Speed of production matters more than anything else in today’s time and these kinds of machines are really quick. So the kind of results it gives are unmatched. Machines also make very few errors as compared to humans so there is less loss of resources as correcting them is not required.
  3. Consistency and reliability: The work on all samples is done in the same way when a machine is doing it. There are no complaints about inconsistencies in various samples. There are also no problems of unreliability or dishonesty that often comes with human beings. 
  4. Diversity of options: These filling machines accommodate various types of tubes so they’re good at multitasking that way. you don’t have to worry about buying a separate machine for each different size and type of tube that you might have.
  5. Provides better working conditions: This tube filling machine makes work easier even for the operator. If you already have dedicated labor working for this cause, the machine will make it simpler for them as well as it is easy to handle and doing this work manually would be cumbersome.
  6. Efficient use of resources: A tube filling machine working is a lot similar to a liquid filling machine working. They both avoid wastage of resources, whether it is the container or the liquid that is to be filled.

What you must know about liquid filling machines

Although not a lot of people talk about packaging one cannot ignore its importance in industries. Liquid filling machine is one such product that is sought after in beverage, food, restaurant, pharmaceutical and other industries. What exactly is a liquid filling machine? Also known as a liquid packaging machine or flow filling machine, it is used to fill products with different liquid viscosities into containers either through quantitative or volumetric filling. They are able to handle various textures, from water like to very thick ones. There is no single type of filler that can handle all kinds of liquids, you have to use a specific one for each. Also, no one filler can be used for multiple purposes. To choose the appropriate liquid filler machine for your manufacturing industry, these are the factors that you must keep in mind: ·        The viscosity of the liquid, characteristics of the foam and size of the particulates present in the product ·        Chemical compa

The Guide to Buying an Ointment Plant Machine

One of the many machines that a pharmaceutical company uses in its day-to-day operations is the  ointment manufacturing plant . They’re also used in the cosmetic industry. These machines are perfect for the production of homogenizations, ointments, emulsions, toothpastes, creams, lotions, among others. For easy cleaning, efficient use of agitators and ease in maintenance; the horizontal blade and specially designed anchor are placed horizontally to ensure that the mixing is done effectively along with the shearing action of the homogenizer, which becomes very important when one is working with viscous products. The main physical components of an ointment plant machine are as follows: An electric control panel board with all the necessary controls Manufacturing vessel and agitators with flush bottom valve A digital indicator on the panel that monitors the product temperature A water/wax phase vessel with a fast speed stirrer mounted on the side Spray ball on top cover for clea

The story behind how toothpaste is made

In our daily lives, we come across a lot of products that we tend to use regularly, but what rarely crosses our minds is its story and how something that simple and usual is made. There is a different kind of machinery for manufacturing even the littlest thing and it can be fascinating if we pay attention to it. Just like that, a toothpaste is a product that has a proper manufacturing system. Do you want to know the story of the background and the daily manufacture of a toothpaste? The idea to first put toothpaste in tubes was brought up by Sheffield Labs, which was founded by the inventor of toothpaste Dr. Washington Wentworth Sheffield. His son Lucius noticed the collapsible metal tubes used for paints and thought it would be a good idea to adopt it for toothpaste among other pharmaceutical uses. The Colgate-Palmolive company claims to be the first one to manufacture these toothpaste tubes. It was only in 1980 that pumps and stand-up tubes came in place of the collapsible ones
