How hot air nozzles work
Hot air nozzles direct a jet of hot air to the open ends of plastic tubes, which softens the plastic material just enough to make it pliable but not to melt it completely. This enables the heated tube ends to be sealed together with a clamp to create a hematic seal that prevents any liquid product from escaping, stopping air from entering the tube, which can negatively affect the tube contents.
Ensuring that you fit the right size of hot air nozzles in your tube filling machine is essential to provide an air-tight seal and prevent any leakage. Fitting the wrong size hot air nozzles can result in the plastic tube ends melting completely and the tube packaging failing.
This is an expensive mistake to make and can also involve unwanted downtime for your production line while you clean up melted plastic waste and spilt tube products. The most common mistake made is fitting hot air nozzles that are too large for the machine and plastic tube type, which sees the end of the hot air nozzle coming into contact with the tube ends, resulting in severe melting of the tube material.
Avoid defective products with the proper hot air nozzles
For a brand-new product manufacturing company that has never used tube filling and sealing machines before, there is a steep learning curve to navigate to ensure your production line is set up perfectly and works optimally.
It may not be evident initially, but should any of your first runs be recalled because of problems with faulty tube seals, it can quickly harm your company’s reputation for delivering high-quality products. This is especially important when you are producing food products that must be protected from air exposure. A weak tube seal could cause leakage or air ingress that can spoil the product in the tube before the customer gets a chance to buy it.
