Fully Automated Tube Filling Machine for Food Creams | Discus Technology

A fully automatic tube filling machine for food creams is specifically engineered to handle the unique properties of food grade creams—such as viscosity, temperature sensitivity, and hygiene requirements—delivering efficient, precise, and safe filling operations for products like cheese spreads, dessert toppings, and flavored creams. These machines automate the entire process from tube feeding to final sealing, eliminating manual contact and reducing contamination risks. The tube feeding system uses vibratory bowls or magazine loaders to orient empty tubes correctly, transporting them via sanitized conveyors to the filling station. High precision piston or diaphragm pumps, designed to handle thick or viscous creams without shear damage, deliver accurate fill volumes with tolerances as tight as ±0.5%, ensuring consistent portion sizes and compliance with net weight regulations. Anti drip filling nozzles prevent product waste and maintain cleanliness, while gentle tube handling mechanisms avoid deformation of delicate tubes. After filling, the tubes move to sealing stations where hot air, ultrasonic, or induction sealing creates airtight, leak proof seals that preserve freshness and extend shelf life—critical for food safety. The machine may include additional stations for date coding, trimming excess tube material, and vision inspection to check for fill accuracy and seal integrity. Constructed from food grade materials such as 316L stainless steel, with smooth, crevice free surfaces, it facilitates easy cleaning and sanitization, often featuring CIP (Clean in Place) systems for automated hygiene maintenance. Recipe storage allows quick switching between different cream formulations, while the PLC control system ensures consistent performance. By combining automation with food specific engineering, these machines ensure productivity, quality, and safety in food cream production.
