FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to equipment1 machine to make lamitubes in various industries
such as packing creams, gels, ointment, in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing and
allied industries.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Nearly all products nowadays are being packed and sold in multi layer laminated tubes.
Products like toothpaste, ointments, shaving creams, cosmetic creams, skin creams, foot creams,
henna paste, food sauces, jams, industrial products like grease, paints, dyes and many more
untapped products are coming in laminated tubes. These tubes form a convenient and the most
suitable container for storing and packing these products as it offers high inertness and longer
shelf life with aesthetics.
Laminated tubes offer better packaging option not only because of its physical, chemical
properties and its aesthetics but also because of its production cost.
Putting a laminated tube plant was not viable and economic for a middle level businessman as
its machinery cost is quite expensive and beyond the reach of an ordinary businessman. The
plants of laminated tubes are being imported from Switerzerland, Germany, China, Japan,
Korea etc.
Seeing the potential of laminated tubes in the Indian Market and after years of research and
development AAYWON LAMITUBES & PACKAGING SOLUTIONS made its own semi
automatic tube production plant which includes machineries namely:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
I Another aspect of the present invention is that the invented equipment/ machine These
lamitubes are used for toothpaste, ointments, shaving creams, mehandi, Skin creams, cosmetics,
sauces, fruit jams, shoe polish, liquid candy, shampoos, hair gels thereof.
Another aspect of the present invention is that lami tubes(1aminated tubes) are used for
I packing creams, gels, ointment, in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing and allied
industries.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention will now be described in detail in connection with certain preferred and
optional embodiments so that various aspects may be more clearly understood and
1 appreciated.
According to proffered embodiment this equipment comprises of Automatic Sleeve forming
Machine, Shoulder forming And Joining Machine, tube forming moulds, Aluminum foil sealing
Machine thereof.
According to proffered embodiment Automatic Sleeve forming Machine wherein it makes
sleeves from printed rolls.
+The speed of machine is 80-120 pieces per minute Suitable for tube diameters ranging from
16mm to 50mm with machine production varying upon tube lengths.
I +The Machine is equipped with high frequency electomagnetic Induction based sealers for
I producing airtight and almost sterile seam.
I
' +The Machine is based on servo cutting system. The machine is equipped with human
machine interface (HMI) and Programmable Logical Controllers.
According to proffered embodiment Shoulder forming And Joining Machine wherein it makes
tube shoulders and joining them in line with the tube sleeves.
+The Machine Speed is 1500-1800 pieces per hour.
+Suitable for tube diameters ranging from 16mm to 5Omm.the major advantage of the machine
is that it is a special type injection moulding machine equipped with screw system. It is shuttle
type i.e. two moulds run simultaneously, saving time and enhancing production.
+ Hydraulic power pack is separate from main machine to ease the maintenance.
According to proffered embodiment Aluminum foil sealing Machine wherein it seal the mouth
or orifice of the tubes with Aluminum film to enhance the Hygienic safety and inertness of
tubes from external surroundings.
1,
+Specially used for pharmaceutical industries.
+The speed of machine is 1500-1800 pieces per minute. It is Suitable for tube diameters
ranging from 16mm to 50rnm.
+The Machine is equipped with resistance heaters to seal the foil onto the tube orifice .
+The machine is equipped with human machine interface (HMI) and Programmable Logical
Controllers. Pneumatic based functions to ease operations and enhance productivity.
According to proffered embodiment Electromagnetic Induction Sealer wherein it is a noncontact
sealer.
+The design of the sealer is so made that it throws magnetic pulses to the moving tube web in
the automatic sealing cutting machine so precisely that only the edges of the web receive the
magnetic pulses ,and these magnetic pulses produce eddy currents in the aluminum foil layer of
the tube web along its length and of high proportions(in comparison to the tube web apart h m
edges) in the edges due to which heat is generated in the aluminum layer of the tube web this
heat then melts and softens the surrounding polyethylene layer of the tube web .
+Then the heated edged tube web is then presses through a series of progressively increasing
pressure rollers to form a tight and strong seam.
The present invention has for its purpose to provide an improved machine which is capable of
automatically producing laminated tube sleeves. The Machine is based on servo cutting system.
The basic principle is following
1. The web is fed from one end.
2. It then passes through a electromagnetic induction sealer so that the two edges of the web
seal. This sealing is not contact and instant sealing.
3. The seam formed is then pressed through a series of progressively increasing 2-3 pressure
roller unit which can be water cqoled or normal.
4. Then seam formed web (continuous cylindrical body) then is cut into smaller cylindrical
body called tube body.
f
5. The drive of the machine can be .through belts or a series of rollers depending on customer
requirement.
6. The cutting is based upon rotary optical encoder of 2500ppr giving feed back to the
synchronised cutting unit.
The major advantages are that it boasts of lower investment, higher productivity, lower
consumption, easier operation, accurate position of rotary cutting, easier maintenance and more
stable performance.
With the high frequency induction sealing the machine can produce laminated tubes of all
specifications with smooth and fm welded seam. Its accurate cutting makes the tubes the same
length.
The sleeves formed from automatic sealing cutting machines are then manually put onto the
mandrels of the head forming and joining machines wherein the head of tube where the cap is
screwed onto the tube is formed and joined simultaneously in the same machine. These tubes
are then ejected manually or automatically through pneumatic or hydraulic ejectors depending
on customer requirement.
The tube formed is then manually put onto the Foil sealing machine which is mandatory for
pharmaceutical industry but its scope can be extended to various other industries like oral care,
cosmetics thereof.

1 CLAIMS,
I claim,
1) Lamitube machine comprising of Automatic Sleeve forming Machine, Shoulder forming

various sizes such as 13mm,16mm, 19mrn, 22mm, 25rnn-1, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm,
50rnm,55mm thereof.
3) Lamitube machine claim 1, wherein These lamitubes are used for toothpaste, ointments,
shaving creams, mehandi, Skin creams, cosmetics, sauces, h i t jams, shoe polish, liquid
candy, shampoos, hair gels thereof.
4) Lamitube machine claim 1, wherein the web is fed fiom one end. It then passes through
a electromagnetic induction sealer so that the two edges of the web seal. This sealing is
not contact and is instant sealing. The seam formed is then pressed through a series of
progressively increasing 2-3 pressure roller unit which can be water cooled or normal.
5) Lamitube machine claim 1, wherein Then seam formed web (continuous cylindrical
body) then is cut into smaller cylindrical body called tube body. The drive of the
machine can be through belts or a series of rollers depending on customer requirement.
The cutting is based upon rotary optical encoder of 2500ppr giving feed back to the
synchronised cutting unit.
6) The tube is then manually fed to the head forming and joining machine where the tube
sleeve gets its shoulderhead where the cap is screwed. The ejection of the tube is either
pneumatic, or hydraulic or manual depending on customer requirement.
7) The tubes so formed are then fed manually to the foil sealing machines which puts
aluminium freshness seal to mouth of the tube thus making it tamper proof which is a
mandatory requirement of pharmaceutical industries but its scope can be extended to
other industries as well.
