ATI - Complete Axomatic Tube Filling and Sealing System

• Filling and sealing of creams, gels, and ointments in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
• Packaging of food products such as pastes, sauces, and condiments into tubes.
• Dispensing of adhesives, sealants, and lubricants in industrial applications.
• Filling of personal care products like toothpaste, hand cream, and sunblock.
• Packaging of various viscous products requiring hygienic and precise filling.

Typical throughput

For this class of rotary tube filler, speeds commonly range from 60 to 120 tubes per minute, depending on product viscosity and tube size.

Tube materials

Units of this type are typically designed to handle plastic, laminate, or aluminium tubes, with appropriate sealing mechanisms.

Filling range

Tube fillers commonly accommodate fill volumes from approximately 5ml to 300ml, with change parts often required for different sizes.

Power supply

Industrial tube filling systems typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Air pressure

Pneumatic components on such machinery usually operate with an air pressure supply of 6 to 8 bar.

Footprint

A complete rotary tube filling and sealing system, including ancillary equipment, can typically occupy a floor space of 1.5m x 2.5m for the main unit, plus space for upstream and downstream equipment.

Sealing type

Plastic and laminate tubes are commonly sealed using hot air or ultrasonic methods, while aluminium tubes are crimped.

• What is included in a 'complete system'?

  A complete system typically includes the tube feeding and orientation, the filling station, the sealing or crimping station, and an exit chute. Ancillary equipment like mixers, pumps, and chillers may also be part of a comprehensive setup.

Filling machines remain sought-after on the secondhand market due to their durability and long operational lifespan. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for robust construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should verify seal integrity, calibration accuracy, and maintenance history, as these directly affect product consistency and line efficiency. Common strengths include straightforward mechanical design facilitating repairs and adaptability to different container sizes. Reliability and minimal downtime are frequently cited priorities among processors seeking cost-effective production solutions.
