Full Automatic Glass Test Tube Production Line

The SM-J78 Full Automatic Glass Test Tube Production Line is a complete, integrated system for manufacturing flat-bottom or domed glass test tubes from soda lime or low borosilicate glass tubing. The entire line is arranged in a U-shaped layout connecting five process sections: automatic tube cutting, dual test tube forming units, dual fire annealing units, and dual collecting tables. Just two workers are required — one feeding raw tubes, one collecting finished product — with all intermediate transfer handled by conveyors automatically.

Key Features

  • Complete integrated line — cutting + forming + annealing in one U-layout system
  • Produces both flat-bottom and domed test tubes
  • Compatible with soda lime and low borosilicate glass
  • Only 2 workers needed for the entire production line
  • Three tube diameter ranges: Φ10–16mm, Φ16–22mm, Φ22–28mm
  • High output: 7,000–10,000 pcs/h depending on diameter

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the U-layout design benefit production?

The U-layout positions the raw tube feed and finished product collection at the same end of the machine, allowing one worker area to handle both input and output. This minimises floor space requirements and simplifies workflow. All intermediate steps (cutting, forming, annealing) run automatically on the inner loop of the U.

What is the lead time?

Standard lead time is 40 working days from order confirmation, as each machine is manufactured to order. For custom or modified machines, allow approximately 60 working days. Contact us for a specific timeline based on your requirements.
