Product Overview

A glass bottle making machine forms glass tubing into laboratory and packaging bottles through automated shaping, sealing, and finishing.

The SM-J55 Vertical Type 12/18-Station Bottle Machine is a high-efficiency multi-station glass forming machine designed for the automated production of laboratory bottles and vials. Its vertical multi-station design enables simultaneous forming of 12 or 18 glass workpieces, delivering exceptional production throughput for laboratory glassware manufacturers.

The machine forms glass tubes into finished bottle shapes through a controlled flame-working cycle, producing consistent bottle body dimensions, neck geometry, and base formation. PLC automation manages the complete forming cycle, from tube loading through finished bottle discharge, with minimal operator intervention required.

The SM-J55 is suited to manufacturers supplying laboratory bottles, reagent bottles, and sample vials for clinical, research, and industrial applications — markets that Sea Melody has served across 35+ countries for over two decades.
