Production line process flow

The production speed is 80-90 pcs/min

1. The vibrating bowl feed the aluminum slug and enters the extrusion press machine to squeeze them into tubes, then the trimming machine cuts out the threads of the nozzle and polishes the tube body, and then enters the accumulator storage for storage during shutdown.

2. During the production process, the storage is directly connected to the annealing oven, and the aluminum tube undergoes high-temperature softening treatment in the annealing oven,and then internal spraying (mainly used for anti-corrosion and hygiene and safety) through the internal lacquering machine,and then high temperature internal drying through the lacquer curing oven.

3. The dried tube passes through the accumulator to color the tube through background color, printing and other processes (six color printing is possible). In the two processes of background color and printing, each process is required the drying oven is for drying operation, so a gantry platform is placed above the two machines, and the two drying ovens are placed on the platform, corresponding to the base coating printing machine and the printing machine.

4. The colored aluminum tube is then led to the cap twisting process from the storage, the cap is screwed on the aluminum tube by the capping machine, and finally the latexing machine is evenly sprayed with latex on the inner wall of the aluminum tube tail and then automatic packaged.

Vertical Injection Heading Machine

Advanced Heading Solution for Special Plastic and Laminated Tubes

Our Vertical Injection Heading Machine is specifically developed for the production of special plastic tubes and laminated tubes requiring complex shoulder designs. 

The machine is particularly suitable for manufacturing oval tubes, asymmetric tube shapes, deodorant (DEO) tubes, lipstick tubes, cosmetic applicator tubes, and other customized packaging solutions.

With advanced hot runner injection technology and specialized heading mechanisms, the machine delivers excellent shoulder quality, high production efficiency, and minimal material waste.

Key Features

Designed for Special Tube Applications

Unlike conventional heading machines designed for standard round tubes, our system is engineered to handle a wide range of special tube formats, including:

• Oval tubes

• DEO tubes

• Lipstick tubes

• Cosmetic applicator tubes

• Flat and irregular tube shapes

• Customized tube shoulder designs

This flexibility allows packaging manufacturers to meet the growing demand for differentiated cosmetic, personal care, pharmaceutical, and specialty packaging products.

Two Structural Designs Available

To accommodate different production requirements, we offer two machine configurations:

Flip-Type Heading Machine

• Suitable for complex shoulder geometries

• Excellent mold accessibility

• High process stability

• Ideal for premium cosmetic tube production

Sliding-Type Heading Machine

• Compact structure

• Fast cycle operation

• High productivity

• Suitable for large-scale manufacturing

Customers can select the most appropriate configuration according to product design, output requirements, and factory layout.

Advanced Hot Runner Injection System

The machine adopts a high-performance hot runner injection system that offers significant advantages:

• Reduced runner waste

• Lower raw material consumption

• Improved injection consistency

• Better shoulder appearance

• Shorter molding cycle

• Reduced operating costs

The hot runner design is particularly beneficial when processing high-value materials and customized packaging products.

Excellent Shoulder Quality

Precise injection control ensures:

• Strong tube-to-shoulder bonding

• Accurate shoulder dimensions

• Consistent neck and thread quality

• Smooth surface finish

• High sealing reliability

The machine is capable of meeting demanding quality standards required by cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers.

High Automation and Stable Production

• Automatic tube feeding

• Automatic heading process

• Automatic product discharge

• User-friendly HMI control system

• Recipe storage for quick product changeover

The automated design minimizes labor requirements while maintaining stable production performance.
