Tube sealing equipment and change parts

Bench top machines and change parts, built in Gardnerville, Nevada.

For more than 30 years AnC has made parts to aerospace standards, and our quality system is AS9100 compliant. We have brought that same precision to tube packaging since 1988.

TS-100

Hot air tube sealer

Assembly line output from a bench top unit.

The first hot air bench top tube sealer to run on standard 120 V power. It finds the top of each tube and sets the seal height itself, and the operator fine tunes the time in the hot air, the temperature and the dwell on the touch screen. No cams, belts or chains.

Output 5,000 tubes per shift, with one operator

Power 120 V, 1,500 watts. No chiller or special circuit.

Air 0.1 cfm at 100 psi (7 bar)

Tubes All plastic and laminate tubes, aluminum laminate included

Tooling Quick change

Option FingerPrint™ seal monitoring

“We have the best looking seals and ease of use with a minimal footprint and no extra equipment. We love our unit so much we have ordered another to increase output.”

PTS-100

“The Standard” tube pressure tester

Lab quality testing on the production floor.

It tests the header seal, side seam and end seal at the same time, from the inside out. Competing testers check only the end seal.

Tests Burst, pressure hold and pressure hold to burst

Tubes Filled or empty. A liner bag catches any leaked product.

Leaks Finds pin leaks by reading the pressure inside and outside the tube

Speed About 30 seconds a hold to burst test, around 80 tubes an hour with tube changes

Results Built in receipt printer. Results also save to a flash drive.

Chamber Lights up pass or fail, and slides out for quick tube changes

TS-150

Aseptic tube sealer

Built for the pharmaceutical clean room.

The first clean room certified bench top tube sealer, designed to meet the tube sealing specifications of the pharmaceutical industry. It seals every type of plastic and laminate tube with the same quality as larger production machines, on a small footprint.

Validation Full documentation and test reports for IQ, OQ and PQ

Build Washdown compliant, FDA approved materials. Every product contact part is 316L stainless steel.

Clean room Standard sanitary fittings and process vacuum

Power 120 V, 800 watts

Air 0.2 cfm of clean, dry air

Coding Prints date and lot codes on each sealed tube

Controls Touch screen settings. Operators need minimal training.

TRM-100

Trim station

A clean, square edge on almost any tube.

It trims the excess from the end seal with a clean, square cut, on almost any tube from any sealer. Ideal for short runs, and for touching up tubes set aside by QC.

Blades Tempered tool steel, for plastic, laminate and aluminum tubes

Size 14 × 18 inches of table space

Power 120 V and a small air supply. A blow off keeps the blades clear.

Setup Coarse and fine height adjustment

AnC parts are made by or for AnC Precision, not by or for any original equipment manufacturer. Machine brand names belong to their owners.

Tell us the wear parts you go through most. We keep them in stock for you and ship the same day you order.

“Their Change Parts have never let us down with both high quality (better than OEM Parts) and availability year-round (Euro OEM’s closed for a full month). AnC has been there for all our needs even some parts overnight.”

Questions

TS-100

How many tubes can the TS-100 seal?

5,000 per shift, with one operator.

Which tubes can it seal?

Every plastic and laminate tube, because it seals with hot air. That covers monolayer, co-extruded, HDPE, MDPE, LDPE, LLDPE and polypropylene tubes, plus aluminum laminate and plastic laminate.

Do I need a trim station?

Only if you need a perfectly straight cut edge. The TS-100’s tube height adjustment gives a clean, well defined seal edge on its own.

PTS-100

Does the PTS-100 find pin leaks?

Yes. It reads the pressure inside the tube and in the sealed chamber around it, so even a very small leak shows up.

Can it test filled tubes?

Yes. The test chamber takes a liner bag that catches any leaked product, for easy cleanup.

How long does a test take?

A hold to burst test takes about 30 seconds. With tube changes, that works out to about 80 tubes an hour.

TRM-100

Can it trim aluminum and metal laminate tubes?

Yes. The blades are tempered tool steel, ground to a flat cutting edge for a clean cut on any tube material.

Can I fine tune the trim height?

Yes. A coarse lever sets the height quickly, and a fine adjustment knob dials it in.
