TUBE HANDLING
Load, Clean & Position
Empty tubes can be loaded, cleaned and oriented before entering the filling and sealing stations.
System overview
CP-AFS coordinates the required tube-handling and packaging processes within one customized automation platform. Depending on the project, the system can integrate loading, cleaning, orientation, filling, ultrasonic sealing, coding, trimming and discharge.
Plastic and aluminum-laminate tubes are typical. The final station sequence, tooling and machine layout are defined after reviewing the actual tube, filling product and target production method.
System highlights
Coordinated Processing in One System
CP-AFS brings the required stations, motion and control logic together as one production solution.
CONTROL & SAFETY
Coordinated Operation
Recipe settings, station timing and no-tube-no-function logic support controlled automatic operation.
SEAL & FINISH
Ultrasonic Tube Closing
The tube end can be ultrasonically sealed, coded and trimmed before the finished product is discharged.
Engineering considerations
Configure the System Around the Application
The machine layout, station sequence and level of automation are defined by four connected project requirements.
Tube Format
Material, diameter, height, wall structure, print mark and required end profile.
Filling Product
Viscosity, particles, target volume, temperature, sanitation and anti-drip needs.
Production Target
Required output, station sequence, changeover frequency and operator involvement.
Factory Integration
Available floor space, line direction, guarding, utilities and downstream handling.
Typical applications
Configured Around the Product and Package
CP-AFS can be adapted to different tube formats and filling products where filling, ultrasonic sealing and coordinated automation must operate as one process.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Facial cleansers, creams, lotions, hair treatments, sunscreen and other consumer products filled into plastic or laminated tubes.
Healthcare & Specialty Products
Topical gels, ointments, antiseptic creams and other products requiring controlled filling and a consistent finished package.
Food & Industrial Products
Sauces, pastes, adhesives, lubricants, silicone compounds and other liquid or viscous products suitable for tube-based packaging.
Package and sealing feasibility
Final performance depends on the package material, seal geometry, filling-product behavior and contamination at the sealing interface. Representative samples should be evaluated before tooling and machine design are finalized.
FAQ
CP-AFS FAQ
Quick answers for teams evaluating whether a coordinated tube filling and sealing system fits their production requirements.
No. CP-AFS is a configurable system platform. The filling method, process stations, tooling, controls and layout are selected around the actual tube and production requirements.
Plastic and aluminum-laminate tubes are typical. Actual sealing, coding and trimming feasibility should be confirmed with representative tube and filling-product samples.
CP-AFS is the stronger direction when several processes must share one indexing, control and safety system. Individual modules are more suitable when only one process is being added to existing equipment.
