Choose the YG-120 (40-60 pcs/min) if your batches are under 5,000 units and changeover frequency is high (multiple products per week). Choose the YG-200 (80-150 pcs/min) if you run large batches of 10,000+ units and need to maximize throughput. Contract manufacturers typically start with the YG-120 and upgrade as client volume grows.
Yes. Both the YG-120 and YG-200 are equipped with all three sealing modes - hot-air for aluminum tubes, ultrasonic for laminated tubes, and crimping for plastic tubes. The sealing head is changed by swapping the sealing module (2-5 minutes, tool-free). The HMI stores recipes for each format so operators select the product and the machine automatically sets the correct parameters.
The YG-120 delivers +/-1% filling accuracy across the full volume range. The YG-200 achieves +/-0.5% accuracy through its servo-driven piston pump system. Both systems include in-process weight monitoring to detect and reject out-of-spec fills. Accuracy is verified with a calibration certificate provided at commissioning.
Daily: wipe sealing head clean, check oil level in the pneumatic lubricator (YG-120). Weekly: clean product contact surfaces, check tube holder wear. Monthly: inspect sealing plates (replace every 3-6 months depending on production volume), check all??/timing belts. Annual: full service inspection. YohoAI offers annual maintenance contracts with scheduled visits and discounted spare parts.
Standard delivery is 30-45 working days for the YG-120 and 45-60 working days for the YG-200. On-site installation and commissioning take an additional 2-5 days. For pharmaceutical configurations with IQ/OQ/PQ documentation, add 5-10 working days. Express manufacturing is available for urgent orders at a 15-25% premium.
Yes. Standard installation includes 2-3 days on-site commissioning, operator training for up to 4 staff, and maintenance training. All training is in English or with bilingual interpreters. Remote commissioning support via video call is available as a backup. Complete documentation (user manual, electrical schematics, PLC program) is provided on USB.
All YohoAI tube filling machines come with a 12-month mechanical and electrical warranty. Spare parts are stocked in Shanghai and ship within 48 hours. YohoAI's technical team provides remote diagnostics via TeamViewer or WhatsApp video. On-site service engineers can travel internationally (travel and accommodation charged separately).
Yes. FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is available at YohoAI's Shanghai facility. We can run your actual product or a representative viscosity match through the machine before shipping. Video recording of the FAT is provided. FAT is recommended for pharmaceutical customers with strict validation requirements. Additional charges apply based on test duration and materials used.
The automatic tube filling and sealing machine is designed for multi-format production with quick changeover capability. Install on a level floor with 380V three-phase power and 0.4-0.7 MPa compressed air. The configurable sealing system supports both hot air and ultrasonic methods, allowing switching between ABL (aluminum barrier laminate) and PBL (plastic barrier laminate) tubes without hardware changes.
Daily maintenance focuses on the format changeover process: when switching tube diameters, use the quick-release mechanism to swap the tube holder, filling nozzle, and sealing jaw. Calibrate the photoelectric sensor for the new tube length and run 5 test tubes to verify fill volume and seal integrity. Clean all product-contact surfaces between batches.
Weekly and monthly maintenance follows the same schedule as the YG-120/200 series, with additional attention to the changeover mechanism: lubricate the quick-release guide rails monthly and inspect the servo-driven filling system for positioning accuracy. Keep a format change kit with common tube holders and nozzles for fast product switches.
How the automatic line doses, feeds and seals tubes
The YohoAI automatic tube filler integrates four synchronized subsystems on a single indexing base. The dosing unit uses a servo-driven volumetric piston pump on the YG-200 and a pneumatically assisted piston on the YG-120, covering 5-250 ml with accuracy of +/-0.8% confirmed by in-line checkweighing. Tube feeding combines a 20-station rotary magazine with a photoelectric registration eye that aligns printed artwork to +/-0.5 mm before filling. Sealing is fully configurable: hot-air for aluminium, ultrasonic for laminate, and cold-press crimp for plastic - all sharing one tool-free sealing module swapped in under five minutes. A PLC with a 10-inch touch HMI stores up to 200 product recipes and auto-sets fill volume, line speed, and seal parameters on selection. Product-contact parts are 304 stainless steel (316L optional) with Ra < 0.8 um and full CIP compatibility, meeting cGMP and ISO 9001 requirements.
Balancing throughput against format flexibility
Selecting the right configuration balances throughput against format flexibility. The YG-120 runs 40-60 pcs/min and suits contract manufacturers handling frequent small batches below 5,000 units, where fast changeover matters more than peak speed. The YG-200 reaches 80-150 pcs/min with servo dosing for +/-0.5% accuracy, ideal for a single high-volume SKU run continuously. The multi-format Automatic line adds hot-air plus ultrasonic sealing and the fastest 10-minute changeover, justifying its higher price for plants running aluminium, laminate, and plastic tubes in the same week. Total cost of ownership also differs: the YG-120's lower 6.5 kW draw and simpler pneumatics cut spare-part spend, while the YG-200's throughput reduces labor cost per unit by up to 40% at scale. Most contract packers start with one YG-120 and add a YG-200 as client volume grows.
Keep the line above 95% overall equipment effectiveness
A structured maintenance plan keeps the line above 95% overall equipment effectiveness. Daily: wipe the sealing head, verify the pneumatic lubricator oil level, and run five test tubes after any changeover. Weekly: CIP-rinse product-contact surfaces, inspect tube-holder wear, and confirm photoelectric registration. Monthly: replace sealing plates every 3-6 months by volume, check timing belts and the servo coupling, and recalibrate the dosing piston. Annually: inspect the rotary indexer, electrical-cabinet thermals, and back up the HMI recipes. YohoAI stocks critical spares - sealing jaws, pistons, O-rings, belts - in Shanghai for 48-hour dispatch. A recommended spare-parts kit covers one year of planned maintenance, and optional annual service contracts add two scheduled engineer visits with discounted components and priority remote diagnostics.
One line, 40+ SKUs, three tube materials
A European cosmetics co-packer deployed the multi-format Automatic line to consolidate three legacy fillers serving 40+ SKUs of creams, gels, and lotions in aluminium, ABL, and PE tubes. Running 11 product changes each week, the plant cut average changeover from 45 to 10 minutes using stored HMI recipes, recovering 22 productive hours weekly. Filling 50 ml tubes at 120 pcs/min with +/-0.8% accuracy eliminated overweight giveaway entirely, year after year. Integrated thermal-transfer coding applied batch and expiry data, supporting the client's 21 CFR Part 11 batch records. Line OEE rose from 68% to 91% within three months, and the same machine now handles a new PCR-recycled tube without hardware modification. Based on the result, the customer commissioned a second YohoAI line the following year to absorb further growth.
