Horseshoe folding mechanism on metal tube filling machine to avoid tube tail leakage

Question: We manufacture adhesives and ointments in aluminum tubes. A recurring issue in our production is tail leakage after sealing, which leads to product returns and customer complaints. How does the JGF-B's horseshoe folding mechanism solve this problem, and what makes it superior to other sealing methods?

Answer:

The JGF-B employs an advanced horseshoe folding mechanism—a technology specifically designed for metal tube sealing that addresses the root causes of tail leakage. Unlike heat sealing used for plastic tubes, aluminum tubes require mechanical folding to create a hermetic seal.

Sealing FactorHow Horseshoe Folding WorksBenefit for Metal Tubes
Folding MethodDirect folding mechanism performs a precise, multi-step fold on the tube tail.Creates a strong, uniform seal without the need for heat, which can damage aluminum.
Seam AlignmentAutomatic orientation ensures the tube seam aligns correctly with the folding mechanism.Prevents weak points that occur when the fold doesn't align with the existing seam.
Folding PrecisionThe mechanism applies consistent pressure and angle for each fold.Eliminates operator variability that causes inconsistent seal strength.
Post-Seal IntegrityThe folded tail is mechanically locked, creating a hermetic seal.Prevents leakage during shipping, storage, and end-user handling.

The horseshoe mechanism is considered the most advanced folding technology for metal tubes. It performs a direct fold that thoroughly solves the common fault of leaking at the tail after sealing. This is a critical advantage for manufacturers of cyanoacrylate adhesives and pharmaceutical ointments, where product integrity is paramount.

The JGF-B's design also includes a no liquid leak feature, ensuring that material doesn't drip during the filling process, which could contaminate the sealing area and compromise seal quality. The combination of precise filling and reliable folding makes the JGF-B a trusted metal tube filling and sealing machine for demanding applications.
