What Is A Soft Tube Filling Machine?
A soft tube filling machine is designed to fill and seal squeezable tubes made from plastic, aluminum, or a laminate containing both materials. It fills the tubes with viscous (or semi-viscous) products such as lotion, gel, cream, ointment, or paste. Then, the machine uses heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, folding, or crimping to close the tube.
At SaintyCo, we produce soft tube filling machines for a variety of budgets, environments, and industries. Our equipment is assembled in-house from high-quality components that are machined using advanced, tight-tolerance tooling methods.
Our soft tube filling machines can be standalone units or integrated into production lines, usually with a tube forming machine upstream and a cartoning machine downstream. They come in many different models with various specs, from semi-automatic to high-speed. We guarantee cleanroom-ready designs and cGMP-compliance throughout our entire catalog of soft tube fillers.

Key Soft Tube Filling Stages
There’s quality and versatility at every stage of the soft tube filling process when you purchase a SaintyCo machine. Each aspect is optimized for targeted performance.
We offer two types of machines: with either manual or automated tube loading. Each tube must be correctly aligned and oriented before filling begins.
At the filling head/s, a nozzle or nozzles deliver pre-programmed, exact doses into each tube with zero drips and smart protection from overfilling.
Depending on your chosen model, tubes are sealed using heat and pressure (plastic), ultrasonic waves (for a hermetic seal), or folding and crimping (aluminum).
As an optional integration, the batch number and expiry date can be printed on tubes using embossing, inkjet, or thermal methods, ideal for all-in-one compliance.
At the final stage, our cutting system trims any excess material from the sealed ends of the tubes. This ensures a uniform, high-end look for premium products.
The filled and sealed tubes are discharged onto a conveyor or out into a collection tray, depending on how your machine is integrated into the production line.
Tube Compatibility
Our array of soft tube filling machines includes models designed to handle a wide variety of soft tube materials. For instance, plastics like polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), aluminum, and laminates like ABL and PBL. Our machines can easily be adjusted between batches to manage different tube geometries.

Semi-Automatic Soft Tube Filling MachineFor startups, short production runs, boutique products, or limited-budget endeavors, our semi-automatic soft tube filling machines are a viable option. The filling and sealing processes are automated, but other elements require manual intervention, like feeding or tube loading and unloading. | Fully Automated Soft Tube Filling MachineWhen you’re running a high-speed line under continuous operation, our fully automated soft tube filling machines are what you need to get the job done. Our designs handle everything from tube feeding and orientation to sealing, batch coding, and discharge with no operator required. |
Top Machine Categories
At our advanced manufacturing facilities, we produce soft tube filling machines in several configurations. Our machines are specifically developed to process certain container materials and product types.
Our bottom-filling machine varieties insert the formula into the underside of the tube. This is the preferred method for viscous and sensitive products because it minimizes air bubbles for a more accurate fill and reduces oxidation.
SaintyCo machines with a top-filling mechanism use a simpler design that’s suitable for most free-flowing liquids like ointments and creams, where air entrapment and oxidation aren’t so much of a worry.
Our soft plastic tube filling machines are among the most popular category of equipment and are engineered for PE and laminated plastic tubes. Features include temperature-controlled jaws for professionally sealing cosmetics, medicinal creams, and more.
Our aluminum tube filling machines cater to producers of high-end personal care products, topical medications, chemicals like adhesives, and foods like tomato paste, which are stored in metal tubes.

“5 stars for the whole experience ordering soft tube fillers from SaintyCo. The quotes arrived quickly, and it was smooth sailing to move ahead with the order. We requested two soft tube filling machines for our new facilities in Gujarat and even though I did keep an eye on the order status online, they arrived earlier than expected which was great. And of course, in pristine condition. They were easy to set up with the provided technical documents and PDF guides. Would happily order from SaintyCo again.
Rajesh GillHead of Production, Praxxo Co“I can’t emphasize the perfect storm of quality and price (value) you get from SaintyCo machinery. I’ve worked with countless manufacturing companies in my time, most of them in China, and you just can’t compare the level of service and engineering. The double-headed soft tube filling machine is a fantastic piece of equipment. We had it up and running the same day as received and it’s been on a continuous production run ever since without any problems, great stuff.”
Martin BaleTooling & Equipment Buyer, 1010 Pharmaceuticals
Yes, no problem. Our machines use peristatic, gear, or piston pumps to control the flow of viscous fluids into different sizes and shapes of tubes. In the case of abrasive formulations, we have hardened dosing systems. This helps to reduce wear.
That depends on the model! But don’t worry, we provide full installation guides with every machine and our technical team is only ever a phone call away. Our soft tube fillers are designed to be easy to use, but if you need practical assistance, we can send a local technician to help.
We take safety very seriously, and our soft tube filling machines meet and exceed safety standards. They feature emergency stop buttons and auto-shutdown for system faults as well as sensor-based jam detection, password-protected operator access levels, overload protection, safety screens, and more.
