  • Machine to fill tubes

    Posted by jackleon80s on October 28, 2017 at 4:09 am

    Hey what do you guys use to fill tubes? I have used filling syringes and they are a bit tedious. I find it hard to get all of my formula from the beaker into the syringe. Of course I am not going to buy a 10-20k filling machine for my house. Is there any kitchen product or something that I can buy?

    So far the best thing I found is a sausage filler. I can load the cream in there and squeeze it out, however the opening is too big. Also, it would be nice if the machine was able to squeeze out a specific amount of cream per interval like the expensive factory machines.

    Update - maybe a cookie press maker gun or a icing piping bags may work. Anyone know anything better?

    There are semi automatic machines for filling tubes, but I don’t understand why would you need such equipment if you are making small quantities. I’d suggest to use 100-150 ml syringes which can be easy filled with the cream by using a spatula.
