Effervescent Tablet Tube Filling Machine

An automated rigid tube packaging system accurately counts, inserts, and seals effervescent tablets, providing reliable protection against damage and moisture.

Rigid Tube Filling and Capping Solutions for Tablets

Often referred to as an effervescent tablet filling machine, it automates the process of sorting, counting, stacking, and packing the product into a rigid tube. While commonly used for effervescents, the versatile machine can handle a range of large-diameter, friable, and moisture-sensitive tablets. It typically includes a capping function to complete the packaging process.

At Anxine, we offer GMP-compliant effervescent tablet packaging machines with top-tier global electrical components. Featuring high-sensitivity sensors and quick-changeover designs, our systems deliver error-free packaging for any facility.

Semi-Automatic Tablet Tube Filling Machine CED-S10A

Semi-Automatic Tablet Tube Filling Machine CED-S10A

Handles precise counting, filling, capping, and sealing of various tablets. Ideal for rigid tube packaging of pharmaceuticals and food.

Why Choose Our Tablet Tube Filling Machines

Every Anxine rigid tube packing machine is designed for the gentle handling of large, fragile tablets, providing near-zero-error, moisture-proof packaging. The integrated counting, filling, and capping functions streamline your workflow.

No Tube, No Fill & Auto-Rejection

Advanced photoelectric sensors instantly stop the filling process if the tube is not in position. An automatic rejection system removes defective units to ensure a high-quality final output.

Adjustable Track Counting

High-sensitivity switches ensure accurate tablet drops. The system enables preset counts to support flexible adjustments of the number of tablets per tube.

Sanitary GMP Compliance

All product contact parts are made from 316L stainless steel for long-lasting durability and compliance with pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food-grade standards.

Space-Optimized Footprint

Our machines offer efficient rigid tube packaging in a space-saving design. They're suitable for flexible production environments.

How Effervescent Tube Filling Works

These machines use high-sensitivity optical sensors and precision pneumatics to efficiently pack fragile effervescent tablets. Depending on the automation level, they operate on different principles:

  • Fully Automatic: This system automatically feeds and counts tablets. Pneumatic mechanisms push tablets into tubes, followed by automatic capping. Photoelectric sensors detect errors and trigger automatic rejection.
  • Semi-Automatic: With vibratory tracks to line up tablets, it operates on optical counting and gravity filling. This system requires an operator to place the tubes, apply the caps manually, and transfer them to the capping unit for sealing.
