• Blank laminate is loaded onto the printer

• Laminate is printed and slit• Printed Laminate is loaded

where it is indexed, trimmed, wrapped & seamed

• Sleeves travel to the mandrel• Neck & Shoulder are attached

to the sleeve• Now it takes the complete

shape of the tube• Tubes travel to the mondrel,

where top seal is applied.• Then the Cap is fixed.• It further goes for Final

Inspection.• And then the Packing takes

place.

ADVANTAGES OF LAMI TUBESADVANTAGES OF LAMI TUBES

• PROTECTIVE, BARRIER PROPERTIES• NON –TOXIC AND HYGIENIC• ELEGANT AND ATTRACTIVE• PRINTABILITY• LEAKPROOF• WRINKLE RESISTANCE• USER CONVENIENCE• SQUEEZABLE• Tubes remain flexible, soft and smooth at any stage of

use • Enhanced shelf appeal • Consistent quality and performance • Wide range of caps - fez/flower can be used• Pin hole orifice for low viscosity products , added feature

PROCESS FLOW OF ALUMINUM TUBESPROCESS FLOW OF ALUMINUM TUBES

•Slugs are brought to tumbler, for tumbling•Slugs are loaded into hopper•Slugs are extruded into tubes•Tubes are now transferred to mandrel, where the open and neck ends are trimmed.•Further, they are transferred to high temperature zone for annealing.•After annealing takes place, they are brought to the cooling zone.•Then they are further taken to lacquer station, where interior is coated with lacquer.•Then they are taken for external coating.•Further, they are transferred to priniting mandrel, where printing takes place.
