How to Choose the Right Glue Filling Machine for Your Production Needs

With so many options available—from basic manual units to fully automatic systems—choosing the right glue filling machine can be overwhelming. This guide breaks down the key decision factors.

Step 1: Define Your Production Volume

Your output requirements are the primary driver. The JGF series offers three tiers:

If your production exceeds 50 tubes per minute, you may need multiple machines or a higher-speed system like the Nordenmatic 902 (up to 120 tubes/min).

Step 2: Consider Your Product Characteristics

Different adhesives have different requirements:

Step 3: Evaluate Your Container Type

The JGF-C accommodates:

• Aluminum tubes: Diameter 10-50mm, length 50-180mm

• Plastic and laminate tubes: Similar size range

• Bottles: For glue bottle filling machine applications

Step 4: Assess Automation Needs

How much manual intervention is acceptable?

• Manual feeding (JGF-A/B): Requires operator to place tubes

• Automatic feeding (JGF-C): Reduces labor, increases speed

Step 5: Plan for the Future

Consider potential upgrades:

• Date/batch coding: For traceability and regulatory compliance

• Gas protection: Essential for moisture-reactive adhesives

• Heating hopper: For warm-fill materials

• Dust cover: For cleanroom or sensitive applications

Step 6: Choose a Reliable Supplier

When evaluating glue filling machine suppliers, consider:

• Experience: Maxwell Automation has over 18 years in mixing and filling machinery

• Certifications: CE and ISO9001 compliance

• Support: 24-hour response time, remote and on-site service

• Warranty: 2-year standard warranty

Summary Checklist

By methodically evaluating these factors, you can select an automatic glue filling machine that meets your current needs and supports your business growth.
