Silicone Sealant Sausage And Cartridge Filling Machine | JCT Machinery

1. Differences in Packaging Forms

Silicone Sealant Sausage Filling Machine: It is used to fill silicone sealant into "sausage-sahped" packaging bags, usually in long plastic bags or aluminum foil bags. The characteristic of "sausage-shaped" packaging is that the container is relatively soft, and the silicone sealant can be squeezed out by cutting the bag mouth in subsequent use. It is suitable for batch construction, professional maintenance and other occasions.

Silicone Sealant Cartridge Filling Machine: It is used to fill silicone sealant into standard plastic or aluminum tubes. Tube silicone sealant usually has a fine nozzle. Common packaging includes single tube packaging and double tube packaging. Double tube packaging can be used in occasions where silicone sealant and hardener need to be used at the same time.

2. Filling Process and Equipment Structure

Silicone Sealant Sausage Filling Machine

• Filling Process: Silicone sealant sausage filling machine usually use a relatively simple piston or screw pumping filling process. The sealant is pushed into a soft bag or hose during the filling process. The process is usually fast and suitable for mass production.
• Equipment Structure: Silicone sealant sausage filling machine is usually simple in design and has low filling accuracy requirements, but the filling volume can also be controlled by adjusting the screw or piston. The sausage filling machine needs to be equipped with a sealing system, usually using heat sealing or compression sealing to seal the packaging port.

Silicone Sealant Cartridge Filling Machine

• Filling Process: Silicone sealant cartridge filling machine uses high-precision filling system such as piston pumps, screw pumps or gear pumps, which can accurately control the filling volume of each tube. During filling, ensure that the sealant fills the tube completely and remains uniform.
• Equipment Structure: Since tubular packaging requires high filling accuracy, silicone sealant cartridge filling machine usually has a higher degree of automation, including automatic feeding, filling, sealing, cutting, etc. The cartridge filling machine needs to be equipped with an automatic conveying system to ensure efficiency and consistency during the filling process.

3. Different Applications

Silicone Sealant Sausage Filling Machine: Suitable for large-scale industrial production and construction sites, especially when a large amount or high volume of silicone sealant is required. Sausage-shaped packaged sealants are widely used in the construction industry, large-scale maintenance and other fields, which are convenient for operators to carry and use.

Silicone Sealant Cartridge Filling Machine: Suitable for small-scale applications such as home repairs, DIY, auto repair and the electronics industry. Since tube-filled sealants are easy to control and spray accurately, they are suitable for fine construction and small maintenance tasks.

4. Filling Accuracy and Speed

Silicone Sealant Sausage Filling Machine: Because the sausage-type packaging is loose in form, the filling speed is fast, but due to the large container, the accuracy requirement is relatively low. The filling speed can be high, which is suitable for large-scale production and fast filling.

Silicone Sealant Cartridge Filling Machine: High accuracy and consistency are required to ensure that the amount of sealant in each tube is the same, which is suitable for precise control of the filling amount. It is slightly slower, but can provide higher product consistency and accuracy compared with sausage filling machine.

5. Different Sealing Methods

Silicone Sealant Sausage Filling Machine: It is usually equipped with heat sealing devices or compression sealing devices, which seal the bag mouth by heating or mechanical compression to prevent sealant leakage. The sealing process is relatively sismple and suitable for mass production.

Silicone Sealant Cartridge Filling Machine: The sealing method of cartridge filling machine usually adopts a screw capping or pressing caping system, especially when using aluminum tubes or plastic tubes, a screw capping device is required to close th etube mouth. The sealing process needs to ensure the sealing of the tube mouth to prevent the leakage of the sealant, which usually reuqires higher precision and reliability.

6. Packaging Cost

Silicone Sealant Sausage Filling Machine: Since sausage-type packaging usually uses simpler soft packaging materials, the cost is low and it is suitable for bulk production and transportation. Packaging materials are usually cheaper, but during use, there may be problems that the packaging is not as stable as hard packaging containers.

Silicone Sealant Cartridge Filling Machine: Tube packaging usually requires the use of more solid packaging containers such as plastic tubes and aluminum tubes, and the material and packaging costs are relatively high. It provides  higher convenience and precise control, which is suitable for small batches and high quality needs.
