A practical guide to tube materials, YG speed and fill volume, sealing methods, filling accuracy, GMP and data integrity, and matching YG-120/200 models to output.
Confirm the tube material (aluminum, plastic HDPE/PP, or laminated) and the product (cosmetic cream, pharmaceutical ointment, or food paste). Material decides the sealing method, so specify it before choosing a model.
Batches under 5k
Continuous production
Both YG models share the same 10-60 mm diameter range, so speed - not format - is the main differentiator between them.
Fill volumes span 3-350 ml. Diameters run 13-50 mm on the YG-120 and 13-60 mm on the YG-200, with tube lengths from 40 to 220 mm. Servo piston filling holds accuracy across all viscosities.
Hot-air sealing for aluminum tubes with clean, leak-proof closure.
Ultrasonic sealing for laminated tubes without overheating the product.
Crimping/sealing for HDPE and PP plastic tubes.
Servo piston filling holds +/-0.5-1% accuracy. Every filled tube passes an in-line checkweigher; under-filled and over-filled units are automatically rejected, protecting batch consistency.
Tool-free format changeover takes 20-45 minutes within the 10-60 mm range. The HMI stores up to 200 tube formats, so switching products is a recipe selection rather than a rebuild.
Product-contact surfaces are 304 stainless steel (316L optional) with an enclosed, dead-leg-free circuit. CIP/SIP-compatible construction, IQ/OQ/PQ documentation, and optional FDA 21 CFR Part 11 data logging serve pharma and cosmetics alike.
Choose YG-120 for batches under 5,000 tubes and flexible formats; choose YG-200 for continuous 80-150 tubes/min production with automatic reject and remote diagnostics.
| Model | Speed | Tube Ø | Fill volume | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YG-120 | 40-60 /min | 13-50 mm | 3-350 ml | Batches, flexibility |
| YG-200 | 80-150 /min | 13-60 mm | 3-350 ml | Continuous output |
| YG OEM | 40-150 /min | 10-60 mm | 3-350 ml | Contract manufacturing |
| Pharma/Cosmetics | 40-150 /min | 10-60 mm | 3-350 ml | GMP, N2 flushing |
The YG series processes aluminum, plastic (HDPE/PP), and laminated tubes. Sealing is matched to material: hot-air for aluminum, ultrasonic for laminated, and crimping for plastic - one machine covers all three with the right sealing head. This lets contract packers serve cosmetic, pharma, and food clients on a single line.
YG-120 runs 40-60 tubes/min for batches under 5,000; YG-200 delivers 80-150 tubes/min for continuous production. Both share the same 10-60 mm diameter range, so speed - not format - is the differentiator. A shift at 150/min yields about 65,000 tubes, so size for your peak daily order volume.
Fill volumes span 3-350 ml. Diameters run 13-50 mm on the YG-120 and 13-60 mm on the YG-200, with tube lengths from 40 to 220 mm. Servo piston filling holds accuracy across all viscosities, from thin lotions to thick ointments, without changing the pump for each product.
Servo piston filling holds +/-0.5-1% accuracy. Every filled tube passes an in-line checkweigher, and under-filled or over-filled tubes are automatically rejected to protect batch consistency. This precision also reduces product giveaway on high-value cosmetics and pharmaceutical creams across long production runs.
Yes. Product-contact surfaces are 304 stainless steel (316L optional) with an enclosed, dead-leg-free circuit, CIP/SIP-compatible. IQ/OQ/PQ documentation and optional FDA 21 CFR Part 11 data logging are available, so the YG series serves both cosmetics and regulated pharma ointment production.
Tool-free format changeover takes 20-45 minutes within the 10-60 mm range. The HMI stores up to 200 tube formats, so switching products is a recipe selection rather than a mechanical rebuild. This high format flexibility maximizes machine utilization for contract manufacturers with many short runs.
Yes. A factory-installed nitrogen flushing system reduces headspace oxygen below 1% for oxygen-sensitive creams, ointments, and pastes, preserving product stability and shelf life. Nitrogen flushing is especially valuable for vitamin-rich cosmetics and oxidizable pharmaceutical actives in tube packaging, and our engineers tune the flushing parameters to your specific formula during on-site commissioning so the line is production-ready from startup.
IQ/OQ/PQ documentation packages are available, and YohoAI includes on-site commissioning plus operator training so your tube line is production-ready and audit-compliant from startup. With exports to 30+ countries, service, spare parts, and tooling are coordinated globally across multiple time zones.
