How Easy Is It to Change Tube Sizes on the SGF-40RF-Y?
Question: We produce multiple tube sizes from ø19mm to ø50mm. Many automatic tube filling and sealing machines require lengthy, complex changeover procedures. How does the SGF-40RF-Y handle different tube diameters, and how long does changeover take?
Answer:
The SGF-40RF-Y is designed for quick changeover between different tube sizes. The tube holders (sockets on the rotary table) are custom-manufactured for your specific tube diameter, and the changeover process is straightforward.
| Changeover Component | How It Works | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Tube Holders | Customized for each tube diameter (ø19, ø30, ø35, ø40, ø50mm). | Swap holder sets during changeover; typically <15 minutes. |
| Filling Volume | Adjustable via the touchscreen interface for different capacities. | Seconds—simply enter the new volume on the HMI. |
| Heating Settings | Temperature can be adjusted for different tube materials and thicknesses. | Minutes—adjust via the user-friendly interface. |
| Sealing Pressure | Pneumatic pressure can be fine-tuned for different tube types. | Quick adjustment via pressure regulators. |
The machine's PLC control with touchscreen interface makes parameter adjustment intuitive and fast . Operators can save recipes for different tube sizes and products, reducing changeover time and eliminating the need for mechanical adjustments.
The tube holders are the only physical components that need to be swapped when changing tube diameters. These are precision-machined to match your specific tube size and are designed for easy installation and removal. This means the machine can handle everything from small-diameter ø19mm tubes for pharmaceutical samples to large ø50mm tubes for industrial products.
The compact structure (1500×1000×2000mm) and complete functions make the SGF-40RF-Y an ideal tube sealing machine for factories that need to switch between multiple tube sizes frequently
