Automatic Cardboard Paper Tube Making Machine

1. Definition

An automatic spiral paper tube making machine is industrial equipment designed to produce spiral-wound paper tubes efficiently. These tubes are commonly used for:

• Packaging (e.g., cores for paper, film, textiles)

• Industrial applications (e.g., concrete form tubes, mailing tubes)

• Household products (e.g., wrapping paper cores)

The machine takes sheets of kraft or laminated paper, applies adhesive, and spirally winds them around a mandrel to form a strong, uniform tube.

2. Key Components

1. Unwinding Unit – Holds paper rolls and feeds them into the machine.

2. Gluing System – Applies adhesive evenly along the paper edges.

3. Spiral Forming Section – Wraps the paper spirally around a rotating mandrel.

4. Pressing/Compacting Section – Ensures the tube is tightly wound and uniform.

5. Cutting System – Cuts tubes to the required length automatically.

6. Discharge/Stacking Section – Collects finished tubes for packaging or further processing.

3. Advantages

• High Efficiency: Continuous operation with minimal manual intervention.

• Customizable: Can produce tubes of various diameters, wall thicknesses, and lengths.

• Precision: Uniform tube thickness and smooth surface.

• Labor Saving: Reduces manpower compared to semi-automatic or manual machines.

4. Common Specifications

• Tube Diameter: Usually 20mm – 300mm (customizable)

• Tube Length: 200mm – 3000mm

• Production Speed: 30 – 120 meters per minute (depending on model)

• Paper Thickness: 0.15 – 1.5 mm per layer

• Layers: 2 – 12 layers, depending on required strength
