Details You Need To Pay Attention To When Maintaining The Tube Filling Machine

The tube filling machine can smoothly and accurately inject various paste, cream, viscosity fluids and other materials into the hose, and complete the hot air heating, tail sealing, batch number, production date, etc.

This device can keep the product sealed, maintain the quality of the product, and avoid the product being untraceable. At present, the tube filling machine is widely used in the filling of large-diameter plastic pipes and composite pipes in medicine, food, cosmetics, daily chemical products and other industries.

The tube filling machine uses heating technology and principle to fuse the sealing surface of the plastic hose with high pressure at both ends of the hose mouth under the condition of heating, so as to avoid some defects that the pipe wall is not firmly sealed due to foreign bodies, and the sealing is beautiful.

In the tube filling machine, all accessible materials and some related parts are made of high-quality stainless steel, and at the same time, those parts of the machine that need to be cleaned also use quick-change devices, which are easy to remove and wash.

When some materials need heating insulation, a heating and constant temperature device can be installed outside the barrel. Any material that uses plastic tubes and composite tubes as packaging materials, you can use the tube filling machine without hesitation.

What are the specific characteristics of the machine, and what details need your attention during maintenance and these issues are very important.

Characteristics of tube filling machine

First,tube filling machine has a high-definition LCD programming controller and an operation video screen combined with buttons, which can fully grasp the operating conditions of the equipment such as stepless speed regulating, parameter equipment, output count statistics, air pressure indication, and fault display, making the operation simple and humanized.

Second, manually put the material to be filled into the feed bin, and the filling and sealing can be automatically completed.

Third, the high-precision alignment system reduces the color difference between the tube body and the color code.

Fourth, the adjustment part is external, and the position is digitally displayed, and the adjustment is fast and accurate (applicable to multi-specification and multi-variety production).

Details to pay attention to when maintaining the tube filling machine

Firstly, all lubricating parts should be filled with enough lubricant to prevent the wear of the parts.

Secondly, during the operation, the operator should standardize the operation, and it is not allowed to touch the various parts of the machine tool when it is running, so as to avoid personal injury accidents. If any abnormal sound is found, it should be stopped and checked in time until the cause is found, and the machine can be restarted after the fault is eliminated.

Thirdly, the lubricator must be filled with oil (including the feeding unit) before each start-up production.

Fourthly, after the shutdown of each production, release the accumulated water of the pressure reducing valve (including the feeding unit).

Fifth, clean the inside and outside of the filling machine. It is strictly forbidden to wash with hot water higher than 45℃ to avoid damage to the sealing ring.

Sixthly, after each production, clean the machine and turn off the main power switch or unplug the power plug.

Seventhly, regularly check the sensor sensitivity.

Eighthly, tighten all connections.

Ninthly, check the connection and tightening of the electrical control circuit and each sensor.

Tenthly, check and test whether the motor, heating system, PLC, and inverter are normal and perform a cleaning test to see if each coefficient parameter is normal.

Eleventhly, check whether the pneumatic and transmission mechanisms are in good condition, and make adjustments and change the lubricating oil.

Twelthly, equipment maintenance items are handled by the operator and maintenance records are kept.

some concepts you need to know about pipe filling machines

Heater temperature

General tube filling machines will have a temperature display, two rows of temperature, the upper row displays the heated temperature number, and the lower row temperature is displayed in green, which is set by the manufacturer when it leaves the factory.

The clamping pressure of the end-sealing splint

Generally, the clamps of the tube filling machine are well engaged, and the pressure tail is beautiful. However, when the clamp pins fall off, the clamps cannot be engaged with each other, and the pressure tail cannot be pressed normally, which will also cause the tube to leak.

Air pressure

General tube filling machines need a stable air pressure, so that the filling volume of the filling machine can be stable, the depth of embossing is stable, the end sealing is firm, and there will be no leakage.

Tube filling machines’ speed or heating time and clamping time.

Increasing the temperature, clamping pressure value, heating time, and clamping force can increase the fastness of the end seal. After many attempts, it is necessary to determine whether the firmness of the end seal reaches the desired number. This needs to be determined objectively and there are no specific indicators.

The latex sticking to the tail of the tube filling machine

At this time, it is necessary to check whether the filling is normal, whether there is splashing or the material is not cut off simply, or the nozzle is sticky; material and other issues, the filling splash is sometimes related to the air pressure and this needs to be kept in mind;

In the face of the rapid development of the market scale in the pharmaceutical, food and other industries in recent years, the tube filling machine will also usher in a greater space for development. In this context, the competition in the filling equipment market will also be more intense.

For companies that develop and develop equipment, how to improve the competitiveness of their products is a big challenge.

With the development of intelligent technology, automation and intelligence may become the new development direction of packaging equipment such as filling and sealing machines.

The application with a high degree of intelligence is conducive to solving the problems of cross-contamination, dripping, and poor sealing during the filling process, improving the efficiency of tube canning and reducing labor costs while ensuring product quality.
