SEMI-AUTOMATIC TUBE FILLING & SEALING MACHINE TF−I (lami) TF−I (lami) is designed to fill and seal plastic and lami tubes as well as plastic tubes. The machine is suitable especially for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and foodstuff industry. Machine can be used for filling of cream, ointment, gel, paste, balm and other similar viscous products by means of a volumetric dosing system. The machine is designed and manufactured to suit FDA and cGMP requirements. All contact parts stainless steel, well polished and mirror buffed. All major pneumatics are of FESTO brand. The machine produced from tested and reliable materials for long service life. To get accurate dozing, it would be preferable to use different syringes for different volumes as mentioned below: Model - TF-I (Lami) Tube Loading - Manual Tube Orientation - Manual / Automatic Tube Ejection - Automatic Max Tube Diameter - 40 mm Output - 30 Tube per Min - Main machine frame with stainless steel covers - Adjustable anti-vibration legs - AC inverter for main drive for step-less speed variation - Rotary index table for transferring tubes to filling, closing stations and other sections - 35 liters capacity stainless steel hopper - Stainless steel volumetric dozing syringe and Teflon piston seals for accurate dosage with step-less adjustment of volume - Tube lifting at filling station – so that filling nozzle gets inserted inside tube during filling - Tail cutting by \'suck back\' method to prevent dripping of product after filling Contd. Batch code embossing facility within Crimping jaws (by using negative etched character type fount) - Hot Air Tool with air blower for heating of plastic/lami tubes - Automatic tube ejection SAFETY FEATURES: - No−Tube−No−Fill system - Low air pressure switch - Emergency stop OPTIONALS: - Jacketed hopper with electrical heater for water heating and hot water circulation pump - Slow speed agitator - Set of positively etched character type founts for coding of aluminium tubes - Air compressor (5 kw) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OPERATION SYSTEM Single Head, Rotary Index Table – 12 stations OUTPUT ~1800 tubes per hour PRODUCT HANDLED Cream, ointment, gel, paste, balm and other similar viscous products. TUBE DIAMETER Minimum 12 mm to maximum 40 mm TUBE LENGTH Minimum 50 mm to maximum 180 mm TUBE LOADING Manual TUBE ORIENTATION Manual/Automatic PRODUCT HOPPER 35 liters capacity. {Water jacket with electrical heating and hot water circulation pump optional} PRODUCT AGITATOR Slow speed agitator for stirring of product in hopper as an option FILLING NOZZLE Fixed nozzle, with tube lifting at filling station – to lift up the tube so that nozzle gets inserted inside tube while filling. NO−TUBE−NO−FILL system incorporated.
