Glass tube loaders

Continuous-feeding glass tube loader that ensures high reliability with limited human intervention

Automatic tube loader

Tube loading onto the forming machine can be performed semi-automatically or automatically.

Stevanato Group has developed an automatic tube loader that allows for automatically feeding the vertical rotating machines with glass tubing. Continuous feeding permits to reduce the personnel required, as the operator only needs to load one or more tube bundles in a safe and ergonomic position. The automatic tube loader is also available in the “no glass-to-glass version

Glass tube loaders forming

The automatic tube loader is equipped with a servomotor to move the mechanical arm. This means the movement can be synchronized with the converting line, providing a seamless production process for vials, cartridges, syringes and ampoules. This technology also improves process control and reduces maintenance requirements.
