Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on IWK's tube filling machines, specifically models TFS 10, TFS 15, TFS E, and TFS 30. These machines are designed for high-precision tube filling, offering solutions for various production needs.
Working Principle: Tubes are fed into the machine either manually or automatically. They are placed into cups on a rotary machine table and moved through workstations for alignment, print registration, filling, closing, coding, and trimming. Filled tubes are then discharged or transferred for packaging.
Key Features:
  • High-precision dosing with variable pump drive.
  • Tool-free exchange of size parts.
  • Digital counters for adjustable parameters.
  • Single or twin-lane designs available based on output needs.
Model Specifications:
  • TFS 10: Features a 60 l hopper, rotary valve, and dosing pump with separate drives. It supports volumetric dosing and has a vacuum prism for tube feeding.
  • TFS 15: Includes tube print registration via a photo-electric device, and features for pressing, embossing, and trimming tube ends.
  • TFS E: Offers quick format changeover and a revolutionary dosing system for efficient cleaning in process (CIP).
  • TFS 30: Designed for high viscosity products with separate drives for rotary valves and dosing pistons, ensuring clean filling without air entrapment.
Technical Data:
  • Tube diameter ranges from 10-60 mm depending on the model.
  • Total tube length varies from 40-280 mm.
  • Dosing volume ranges from 1-400 ml.
  • Maximum output ranges from 70 to 220 tubes per minute.
  • All models operate at 3 × 400 V/50 Hz with a compressed air pressure of 6 bar.
Global Presence: IWK Verpackungstechnik GmbH is based in Stutensee, Germany, with a worldwide presence including locations in the USA, Singapore, India, China, and more.

TFS 10 TUBE FILLING MACHINE Product is fed into the machine by a 60 l hopper. Rotary valve – with supportive ball bearings at both ends – and dosing pump have separate drives. Volumetric dosing is achieved by exchanging matching pistons and cylinders and by infinitely variable piston stroke adjustment. The filling system with its dosing nozzle is mechanically separated from the rotary valve and the pump. The filling nozzle stroke is infinitely variable in relation to the tube length to be filled. Size parts are not required. Filling station Empty tubes are fed manually or automatically into the machine,...

TFS 15 TUBE FILLING MACHINE Tube print registration and code reading – if needed – is achieved by a photo-electric scanning device. The entire tube holder with a toothed rim at its base is rotated without vibration by a clutch-brake system and perfect print registration is thus guaranteed. Tube print registration Tube ends are pressed and embossed. Seals on plastic and laminated tubes are trimmed for best optical appearance. Filled and closed tubes are ejected from their cups and discharged from the machine on a chute. Tube pressing, emboss coding and discharge station

TFS E TUBE FILLING MACHINE Our revolutionary dosing system is only available at IWK. It allows highly reliable Cleaning in process (CIP) in less than 5 minutes. This maximizes uptime and consequently the OEE. Lobe pump system Format change over times of less than 25 minutes, reproducible through storage of all relevant process parameters, guarantee vertical start up. This combined with “en bloc” exchange of all wet parts allow highest production flexibility at maximum efficiency. Servo lifting station for print registration and filling stat

TFS 30 TUBE FILLING MACHINE Rotary valves and dosing pistons are driven separately and dosing systems can be individually adjusted for best fill accuracies. Products with high viscosity can be processed without a problem because both rotary valve shafts have supportive bearings at both ends. The infinitely variable filling nozzle stroke meets all tube skirt lengths within the size range of the machine. Clean filling without air entrapment is thus guaranteed. Filling station High grade components in the TFS 30 make for unsurpassed machine life under continuously rated operating conditions. The globoid...
