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.
