Process description
- The operator manually loads the tubes into the tube magazine. The tube is then automatically inserted into the tube holder so called "nest". The rotary table with nests moves the tubes to the orientation position, where the tube is oriented based on the "black mark". After that the tube is transferred to the filling unit.
- The product is stored in the product hopper and dosed by volumetric cylinder. The volume of filling can be easily adjusted. Next station is the tube heating device where the top of the tube is heated by a hot air unit. Than the tube is sealed and the top of the tube is trimmed to obtain nice finish. Ready tube is transferred to the outfeed conveyor.
